Reports family tinnitus while living next to a tower.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
We live right next to a cell tower. Both me and my husband have developed tinnitus…..which makes me feel like I’m going crazy at times. My dad lives next to us and also has tinnitus.

Calls for safer alternatives, exposure disclosure and informed consent, citing suspected neurological eff…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Like most Americans, I trusted our government to protect its citizens in rollouts involving wireless tech. Those days are over. Americans are being bombarded with damaging frequencies every single day and even in our own homes. No doctors recommend iodine supplementation to protect against the radiation of some of these frequencies. The cell towers are also speculated to generate some ELF causing neurological damage in some of the population. There needs to be safer alternatives. And the American public en masses needs to be made aware of what their current exposure is. There is no informed consent. Thank you.

Reports family tinnitus, insomnia and hearing voices, questioning possible mental-health connections.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Ringing in the ears has been non-stop with me and members of my family. My elderly mother says it keeps her up at night and she feels like she is going crazy. She sometimes hears voices in the middle of the night. This has to be connected to much of the mental health issues plaguing the world.

Raises family sleep and behavioral concerns and requests independent research on health and wildlife.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Dear HHS, I am writing to ask that the affects of wireless radiation are fully studied on how they affect the human body, wildlife and environment in general. This HAS to be done to ensure the human population is not more negatively affected by this technology. I know from personal experience how this has affected my family. The use of computers, pads and phones has greatly impacted my husband. He no longer is able to sleep deeply or for long periods of time. At most he gets four to five hours of interrupted sleep and that also greatly affects me! His job mandates the use of all this technology unfortunately. It has basically ruined his sleep which is also impacting his health in general as many many studies have proven about lack of sleep. The other impact this technology has had on our family is either my grandchildren. One parent works from home so there are more computers and screens and wireless boosters in their home than normal. I can see how it affects their behavior (they are much more agitated on days we have to play indoors!) and neither of them sleep well. It breaks my heart to see this is how they are growing up. PLEASE do the independent research and do NOT be influenced by big these wireless companies and their profits. You were hired to work and protect us not them! Thank you, Kathy Kuflewski

A former tower climber describes symptoms during work, questions safety rules and requests occupational r…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I highly recommend and ask that you all do research into the workers who are exposed to this RF on a daily basis. As someone who used to work on cell phone towers there would be days that equipment was pointed right at us from an adjacent tower and we could taste metal in our mouthes, sometimes get terrible headaches, sometimes even ringing in the ear. As to whether or not it’s harmful to the daily person not as close to the antennas, I’m not sure but research most certainly should be done into the workers who are around them all the time. I’m 25 and got out of the industry due to lack of RF and other safety regulations but hearing some of the stories from folks who have been in longer made me wonder and reconsider what I was doing for work. If you all would like to speak with some more climbers please reach out to Climber Protection Group, we’d be happy to provide more information.

Attributes insomnia, headaches, brain fog and palpitations to smart meters and towers.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Ever since the installation of the smart meter on my house, I have severe insomnia! With all the 5g towers it has only gotten worse! Symptoms are headaches, brain fog, fatigue and heart palpitations! This is detrimental to our health and well being! Let’s get back to more basic concepts that improve health, nature and lifestyle instead! On our current trajectory we are destroying not advancing our planet and humanity! Let’s use our abilities for the good of all!

Raises childhood leukemia and neurological concerns, describes tinnitus of uncertain cause, and requests …

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
When I grew up in England they started building houses under power lines. 10kvolts+ and then shortly after that when one community had a sudden rise in leukemia rates they did research and found the electromagnetic fields around the lines were causing the issue. They needs to be research done on frequency and its effects, then regulations to follow. I have tinnitus and white noise issues. I have no way of knowing where this is because of the new frequency’s that have been added. I have no option but to have 2g my car (there is no way to turn it off). Just because science moves on and we can, doesn’t mean we should. I think people with preexisting conditions like add and adhd are more sensitive to frequency’s and I think more research should be done on this. Thank you for giving us the opportunity with to share our thoughts. Dr Adrian Thane

A teacher describes migraines and autoimmune illness, requests independent research into susceptibility a…

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
I am a 51-year-old public school educator living with chronic autoimmune illness. I am submitting this comment because I believe the potential health consequences of prolonged exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMFs) and radiofrequency (RF) radiation deserve serious, independent scientific investigation, particularly among individuals with autoimmune and inflammatory conditions. I experience chronic inflammation, migraines, fatigue, and episodes of significant physical malaise. Over the years, I have observed that some of my most severe symptoms appear to coincide with environments containing extensive wireless infrastructure. In 2020, during the COVID-19 lockdowns, new 5G cellular towers were installed in my area. During this period, I began experiencing frightening physical symptoms while traveling along interstate highways. On multiple occasions, I experienced episodes of apparent loss of consciousness while riding as a passenger. I also experienced painful bladder spasms that seemed to occur when traveling near certain cellular towers. These experiences became so debilitating that I struggled to travel on interstate highways. I purchased a silver-infused garment marketed for electromagnetic shielding and began wearing a Q-Link pendant, which I continue to wear daily. My career as a public school teacher raises additional concerns about occupational exposure and children’s health. Today’s classrooms are saturated with wireless technology. In my school, every student has a chromebook, and each classroom contains two enormous interactive smartboards. Wireless networks operate continuously throughout the school day, with dozens of devices communicating simultaneously. I experience migraines, inflammation, fatigue, and general malaise that interfere with my ability to function comfortably throughout the school day. Teachers spend approximately seven to eight hours daily in these environments, often for decades. Children spend much of their developmental years surrounded by wireless infrastructure. I question whether sufficient independent, long-term research has examined the cumulative effects of these exposures, particularly among individuals with existing inflammatory, neurological, or autoimmune conditions. I respectfully request that HHS prioritize the following areas of investigation: 1. Autoimmune and inflammatory responses: Investigate whether chronic RF exposure influences inflammatory pathways, immune regulation, oxidative stress, or symptom severity in individuals with autoimmune disease. 2. Neurological and autonomic symptoms: Examine reported associations between environmental RF exposure and migraines, dizziness, loss of consciousness, bladder dysfunction, fatigue, and other neurological or autonomic disturbances. 3. Individual susceptibility: Investigate whether certain populations, including individuals with chronic illness, experience different physiological responses to environmental electromagnetic exposure. 4. Cumulative exposure in schools: Conduct independent assessments of RF exposure in classrooms containing numerous student devices, wireless access points, and interactive smartboards. Evaluate both actual exposure levels and long-term health outcomes. 5. Existing safety standards: Reevaluate whether current RF exposure guidelines adequately address chronic exposure, evolving wireless technologies, and potential biological effects beyond established thermal mechanisms. 6. Exposure reduction: Investigate practical strategies for reducing unnecessary wireless emissions in educational settings, including wired connections and alternatives to continuous wireless connectivity. 7. Research integrity: Ensure that studies are independently funded, transparently conducted, and designed to investigate potential risks without predetermined conclusions. I recognize that personal observations do not establish scientific causation and that existing research has not consistently demonstrated that symptoms attributed to electromagnetic exposure are caused by RF radiation. Yet, the symptoms are real, and individuals reporting them deserve serious medical attention and rigorous scientific investigation. The absence of conclusive evidence of harm should not be treated as proof that every potential long-term health consequence has been adequately investigated. As an educator, I am particularly concerned about the widespread adoption of wireless technologies in schools without sufficiently examining possible consequences for vulnerable students and employees. I'm not advocating the abandonment of technology, but for responsible research, transparency, appropriate precaution, and informed public policy. People living with chronic illnesses should not have to choose between participating fully in society and protecting their health. Our technological capabilities should never advance faster than our willingness to investigate their potential consequences.

Reports headaches and tinnitus and raises smart-meter, Wi-Fi and alleged weather-manipulation concerns.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
EMF gives me headaches. I wake up in middle of the night with one. Was so bad I had to get Faraday protection. Ears ringing. Add in Smart Meters, NEXRAD radar weather manipulation, WiFi Router, cell phones, 5G, it’s all affecting us negatively. We feel like it’s an attack on humanity because it is.

Reports a spouse’s headaches and burning sensations during phone use that improve when the phone is off.

ORIGINAL COMMENT · UNEDITED TEXT
Since buying an iPhone 14 Pro Max several years ago, my wife has experience daily headaches after using the phone for only a few minutes. When she turns it off and moves it away, the headaches start to go away. This iPhone problem has been confirmed repeatedly over the last several years. Same pattern: she uses the iPhone and gets headaches with a burning sensation. When she turns it off, the headaches go away. I’m saying by using the phone in any way. She does not put it up to her head but keeps it out in front. This happens regardless of whether she is talking on the phone or just using the apps / internet. It does not matter how she uses it, she gets headaches.
