My husband and I live in a small town in NH with rolling hills and valleys. The cell phone service in the area has not been historically great because of this. Because of the nature of my husband's work he needed better cell service, so installed a warehouse cell signal booster into our basement. This was several years ago. Upon doing that I started noticing that when I was sitting in a certain part of the house my heart would start skipping beats, fluttering irregularly. He didn't believe me but after much complaining we unplugged it and the fluttering hasn't occurred since. \n\nSkip ahead, as of approximately a year and a half ago. There is a new cell tower that has been erected in our town that is on the highest hill. We are located on the top of a ridge approximately three miles (the way the crow flies) away from it. Since the cell tower has gone active my ears are hissing, sometimes worse than others. I can quiet the hissing sound by using shungite stones placed over my ears. I believe these symptoms are a direct correlation to the rf/emf that the cell tower is putting out. I have frequently thought about having someone come and measure the amount we are getting exposed to. \n\nThank you for your attention to this matter.\n","attachments":[],"attachment_inventory":true,"withheld":false,"source":"https://www.regulations.gov/comment/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-3426","tags":["health-experiences","exposure-places"],"source_hash":"4a7cffe6506c6795c44dc52e2a05378cfcc6b6520fbb555a8b776501bda2b551","slug":"health-experiences-comment-3426","classification":{"id":"HHS-OASH-2026-0397-3426","body_sha256":"52f417f9499f1fb1493c36d7dacd730a99baa67ab677acae6b2b1969f0c0d887","status":"ai_reviewed","primary_topic":"cardiac","topics":[{"id":"cardiac","evidence":"as sitting in a certain part of the house my heart would start skipping beats, fluttering irregularly.
