ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
For about six years, I've been hearing a low-frequency humming sound that no one else around me can hear. This phenomenon is known under the name Taos Hum. A single-digit percentage of the world's population experiences this phenomenon. I went to an ENT specialist and had my hearing checked. Everything is fine. My primary care physician also couldn't find anything wrong.
I also spoke with a neurologist, but she couldn’t really help me either except advising me to reduce stress. A measurement taken by the Environmental Protection Agency in my home revealed no significant infrasound exposure in the audible range. The fact that I am the only one who can hear it suggests that this acoustic phenomenon is the so-called Frey effect, which is caused by exposure to pulsed microwaves.
See, among other things, U.S. Patent No. 4,877,027 (attached).
In addition to that about a year ago, a high-frequency, constant whining sound began in my head, which simply “turned on” from one minute to the next. Here, too, I suspect the influence of EMF or other types of radiation. It is a very agonizing auditory sensation that significantly impairs my sleep and my quality of life.
I am German and live in Germany, where there are also other people affected. I am writing to you because there is absolutely no awareness in Germany of the harm caused by EMF, RF, microwave or other radiation.
We must create opportunities to study this phenomenon. Doctors must be trained to diagnose the Havana Syndrome. EEGs and CT scans must become standard diagnostic procedures. Of course, exposure to radiation must be reduced. To achieve this, it requires more accurate measuring devices capable of detecting different kinds of radiation.
Unfortunately, the reality is that we, as those affected, are not taken seriously, and appropriate tests are denied—partly out of a lack of knowledge, partly out of ignorance. Most of the time, we are diagnosed with tinnitus, a mental disorder, or simply told that it’s all in our heads.
The authorities must make every effort to investigate the harm caused by this radiation and take remedial action.
I hope that the influence of the United States, which is taking a leading role in this regard, will also compel our governments to act.
