What is the latest information about cell phone usage and acoustic neuroma?
Current data indicates that there is no clear-cut documentation of a link between cell phone usage and acoustic neuroma. It has been postulated that frequent, direct contact with the waves of a cell phone may produce a higher incidence of acoustic neuroma, but the more compelling issue involving cell phone usage is the danger involved in using one when you are driving a vehicle. However, if one uses a cell phone frequently, a wireless or remote receiver should be used so that the phone is not in direct contact with the skull.
