It is always stronger when new towers and/or added frequencies occur. I believe that the signals travel on wind too. I've had several episodes immediately following towers being added to areas near my homes over the past 7 years in both Maryland and Florida. The pattern is that I begin with dizziness, complete unbalanced and vertigo symptoms. When it's at its worst, I'm curled up on the ground up to an hour until it passes. Doctors say I test fine (ENT, brain scans, balance tests, labwork). It always relates to new towers. The ENT said it \"could be\" a type of Meniere's Disease, but that doesn't make sense when all of the medical conditions were ruled out. The only factor remaining was cell tower growth nearby. It definitely has affected my life. Overall, I have always been sensitive to electric energy but the tower waves are much more intense.  I believe that when the wind carries stronger signals, I experience heavier ringing in my ears and headaches, sometimes acoompanied by nausea. I think it's extremely important to study this and act quickly. Thank you.","attachments":[],"attachment_inventory":true,"withheld":false,"source":"https://www.regulations.gov/comment/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-3457","tags":["health-experiences","exposure-places","research-evidence"],"source_hash":"1d4067720774ed225df85f2a2590c40438f0dba2c533ecf388aa04def9cdd0c6","slug":"health-experiences-comment-3457","classification":{"id":"HHS-OASH-2026-0397-3457","body_sha256":"44630c903e059734856f964286de00b2b86f95fe3aed3658fba4b7f01e25195a","status":"ai_reviewed","primary_topic":"neurological","topics":[{"id":"neurological","evidence":"egin with dizziness, complete unbalanced and vertigo symptoms.
