Mobile phone use and acoustic neuroma

A study from the Institute of Environmental Medicine (IMM) at Karolinska Institutet, Sweden, found that 10 or more years of mobile phone use increase the risk of acoustic neuroma and that the risk increase was confined to the side of the head where the phone was usually held.

No indications of an increased risk for less than 10 years of mobile phone use were found.
