The Association between Radiofrequency Radiation and Audiovestibular Dysfunction: A Scoping Review

Abstract

There is stronger evidence to support that radiofrequency radiation causes a possible adverse bioeffect on the audiovestibular system with duration of exposure as a possible important factor contributing to clinical symptoms, such as hearing loss, tinnitus, and vertigo. Despite studies showing similar mechanisms of cellular damage to that found for the nervous system, more needs to be done in terms of finding the exact pathogenesis and broadening the RFR source used.
