dc.description.abstractIntroduction: Tinnitus is a multifactorial condition and its prevalence has increased on the past decades. The worldwide progressive increase of the use of cell phones has exposed the peripheral auditory pathways to a higher dose of electromagnetic radiofrequency radiation (EMRFR). Some tinnitus patients report that the abusive use of mobiles, especially when repeated in the same ear, might worsen ipsilateral tinnitus. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the available evidence about the possible causal association between tinnitus and exposure to electromagnetic waves. Methods: A literature review was performed searching for the following keywords: tinnitus, electromagnetic field, mobile phones, radio frequency, and electromagnetic hypersensitivity. We selected 165 articles that were considered clinically relevant in at least one of the subjects. Results: EMRFR can penetrate exposed tissues and safety exposure levels have been established. These waves provoke proved thermogenic effects and potential biological and genotoxic effects. Some individuals are more sensitive to electromagnetic exposure (electrosensitivity), and thus, present earlier symptoms. There may be a common pathophysiology between this electrosensitivity and tinnitus. Conclusion: There are already reasonable evidences to suggest caution for using mobile phones to prevent auditory damage and the onset or worsening of tinnitus.
dc.description.abstractIntrodução Zumbido é uma condição multifatorial cuja prevalência vem aumentando nas últimas décadas. Em todo o mundo, o aumento progressivo do uso de telefones celulares tem exposto as orelhas a uma maior carga de radiação eletromagnética de radiofrequência (REM-RF). Alguns pacientes com zumbido referem que o uso excessivo do telefone celular, especialmente quando sempre na mesma orelha, é um fator de piora do zumbido ipsilateral. Objetivo O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar as evidências disponíveis sobre a possível associação causal entre zumbido e exposição a ondas eletromagnéticas. Método Foi realizada uma revisão de literatura com palavras-chave como: tinnitus, electromagnectic field, cellular phone, radiofrequency, electromagnectic hypersensitivity. Foram selecionados 165 artigos com maior relevância clínica em pelo menos um dos assuntos. Resultados As REM-RF podem penetrar tecidos expostos e existem níveis seguros de exposição. Apresentam efeitos termogênicos comprovados e potenciais efeitos biológicos e genotóxicos. Alguns indivíduos são mais sensíveis à exposição eletromagnética (eletrossensibilidade) e, portanto, adquirem sintomas precocemente. A fisiopatologia da eletrossensibilidade pode ser semelhante à do zumbido. Conclusão Consideramos que há evidências suficientes que sugerem maior cautela para o uso desses aparelhos e assim prevenir lesões na via auditiva e o aparecimento/agravamento do zumbido.
