Health aspects of wireless communication: auditory perception of microwaves --- hearing microwaves

In common usage, the handset of a cellular mobile telephone is held against the ear. Computational and experimental studies have demonstrated that about 50 percent of the radiated radio frequency (RF)/microwave energy is deposited in tissues on the same side of the head, nearest to the telephone. The deposited energy measured in specific absorption rates (SAR) of RF/microwave energy is non uniformly distributed inside the head. Depending on the specific model used, the SAR inside the inner ear is about 20 to 40 percent of that permissible by existing rules and regulations.
