This increased incidence is beyond doubt in the main from the Frey effect/ microwave auditory effect/ microwave hearing. Why will this obvious and dangerous indicator not be spoken about by health professionals? This version of tinnitus is due to the outrageous increase in ambient "electro-smog". No pain in the brain - sonic warning instead! We're in very big trouble if people do not speak up fast to help curtail microwave mania esp. from cell towers, phones, wifi, smart meters etc. Anxiety & stress the cause? Forget it! Whereas a generation-plus ago Allen Frey had to use high power to provoke the effect bearing his name, since then widespread and drastically increasing exposures of cumulative effect have reduced the threshold drastically. The alarm is sounding. >

I read the article on tinnitus in children. I'm wondering if you are aware of the established effect called “microwave hearing” which is essentially tinnitus induced by exposure to microwaves (the frequencies, not the ovens).

It was studied by Allen H. Frey years ago, originally related to radar workers who said they could hear when the radar was on.

However, such frequencies are part and parcel of today's wireless technologies, such as cell phones, cell towers, Wi-Fi, etc., and this radiation is, of course, now pervasive in our environment--home, school and elsewhere.

Tinnitus is one of the symptoms commonly reported by people with electrohypersensitivity.

As I said, this is an established effect---even the wireless industry admits this. They just don't talk about it. They don't consider it an adverse effect on health because “it is just an annoyance.”

Perhaps this has some bearing on tinnitus reported by children.
