One of the reason was probably because cell phone towers emit microwave radiation.\nI was physically, mentally and emotionally drained.\n\nAt the end of 2012, I also have ear ringing (tinnitus) in my right ear and till to this day, I still have ear ringing in my right ear.\nI know for 100% that my symptoms are mainly caused by the man-made radiation from this cell phone tower, wi-fi modem in my house and my cellphone. They all emit microwave radiation also known as radio frequency radiation (RFR).\n\nIn May 2011, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) from the World Health Organization classified radiofrequency radiation as Group 2B, meaning they are possibly carcinogenic to humans.\nElectromagnetic Hyper Sensitivity (EHS) is recognized by the World Health Organization.\n\nDr. Lennart Hardell, a medical doctor, and oncologist.\n“We conclude that there is clear evidence that RF radiation is a human carcinogen, causing glioma and vestibular schwannoma (acoustic neuroma). There is some evidence of an increased risk of developing thyroid cancer, and clear evidence that RF radiation is a multi‑site carcinogen. Based on the Preamble to the IARC Monographs, RF radiation should be classified as carcinogenic to humans, Group 1.”\n(Source: https://ehtrust.org/science/whoiarc-position-on-wireless-and-health/)\n\nElectromagnetic Hyper Sensitivity is recognized as an environmental intolerance by the World Health Organization.\n\nFrance's national law passed in 2015, established the following:\nNursery schools: A complete ban on wi-fi for spaces dedicated to children under 3 years old.\n\nI highly recommend watching scientist Barrie Trower, because he is studying microwave radiation since 1960. In my view, he is the authority on microwave radiation.\n\nBecause when I arrived at a white zone (is an area with no mobile phone reception or severely restricted radio frequency radiation) in 2020 in Germany, I almost did not hear the ear ringing anymore almost in an instant.\nSo the loudness of my ear ringing reduced a lot.\nMy energy level increased a lot. I had no or almost no brain fog anymore.\nI slept so well in the white zone.\nBut when I returned to the city where in general there are a lot of cell phone towers, my ear ringing got much much louder.\nMy energy level decreased. A lot of brain fog. Sleep quality decreased a lot, I wake up multiple times during the night.\nEvery time I went to the white zone in Germany, my symptoms improved a lot. But every time I go back to the city, my symptoms are getting worse.\nBack then, I did not know that these man-made radiation is harmful to humans, animals, insects and nature.\nIt took me about 3 to 3,5 years of full-time research to find out that these man-made radiations are harmful.\nBecause of this cell phone tower from Vodafone, I lost my job and I lost my house.\nI had to move back to my parents house.\nBecause of this, I could not work for almost 6 years. A big part of my life is ruined.\nThe ear ringing is ruining my life.\n\nI sleep much better when the wi-fi modem is shut off.\nI sleep not good and I wake up at least one time during the night when the wi-fi modem is on.\n\nWhen a smart phone from Apple is on and this phone is about 5 to 6 meters away from my bed, I wake up at least a couple of times during the night and I cannot sleep deeply.\nI sleep deeper and much better when a smart phone from Apple is completely shut off.\n\nA former co-worker of mine could not fall asleep when his wi-fi modem was on, but when he shut it off, he fell asleep right away.\n\nAnother former co-worker of mine said to me when I completely shut off my smart phone, I sleep through the night without waking up.\nBut if my smart phone is on, I wake up during the night at least one time.\n\nA good friend of mine sleeps very bad if the wi-fi modem is on, but when it's shut off, she sleeps much better.\n","attachments":[],"attachment_inventory":true,"withheld":false,"source":"https://www.regulations.gov/comment/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-6799","tags":["cancer-tumors","child-development","health-experiences","sleep-cognition","exposure-places","research-evidence"],"source_hash":"ef5f76d2afbbac9b9f80bf6777dff7e6505ef3b69a0bf03b40f694ffccd8fd2c","slug":"cancer-tumors-comment-6799","classification":{"id":"HHS-OASH-2026-0397-6799","body_sha256":"65d500030cb47114bafa33885ec04ef11f6ab3bc439a44ceba29b2e57fb1f16a","status":"ai_reviewed","primary_topic":"neurological","topics":[{"id":"neurological","evidence":"I had insomnia"},{"id":"access","evidence":"I lost my job and I lost my house."},{"id":"wifi","evidence":"I sleep much better when the wi-fi modem is shut off."},{"id":"infrastructure","evidence":"The distance betweem my rented house and the cell phone tower is approximately 20 to 30 meters."}],"summary":"Reports insomnia, tinnitus and cognitive symptoms near a tower and wireless devices, improvement in a low-RF area, loss of employment and housing, and cites research and protection policies.","reviewed_at":"2026-10-28T23:54:32Z","review_method":"Full comment-text review with exact source evidence; attachments not reviewed","review_source_sha256":"caca6481fc2e39dd9357e1c31e20760fee0a2c47ccc6d13ee40502452fcf3f7a","source_url":"https://rfsafe.net/hhs-comments/data/catalog.json","scope":"Original comment body; attachments excluded"},"forum_topics":["neurological","access","wifi","infrastructure"],"primary_topic":"neurological","forum_title":"Reports insomnia, tinnitus and cognitive symptoms near a tower and wireless devices, improvement in a low…"}
