Investigating the effect of using mobile phones on acoustic neuroma

In this article, the effect of mobile phone use on the development and spread of acoustic neuroma has been investigated. The studied participants included all members aged between 20 and 69, which includes the residents of three different geographical regions, which have a total population of 1.3 million people. Thereafter, 165 members were selected from among those who were infected with acoustic neuroma as sample members considering the Cluster Random Sampling method. The number of sample members was determined based on Cochran's formula. The results show that urban people are more at risk of developing this type of tumor compared to rural people. In addition, people who had continuously used mobile phones for more than ten years were more infected with acoustic neuroma compared to others. Therefore, there is a direct and significant relationship between the amount of mobile phone use and the incidence of acoustic neuroma. It is worth mentioning that one of the most important ways to reduce the risk of being infected with an acoustic neuroma is to increase the distance from the mobile phone, not put it in the pocket, send text messages instead of making phone calls, not using this device as an alarm clock and not using it for a long and continuous time or on highways.
