Neurological symptoms & sleep

I have had a continuous nonstop electrical sound hissing in my ears for 2 years now. (Tinnitus) I live about 2 blocks from a cell tower and live in a duplex with 5 adults on the other side of the wall using devices. I purchased a router cage and a block radiation case for my phone. With my living quarters I feel it’s a hopeless situation. I have noticed the further into the country side I go, it is significantly quieter. When I drive back to the city it increases again. It is hard to understand when people talk if there is other noise in the room. Thank you for investigating what is happening to the citizens of our country because of this radiation.

To Whom It May Concern: I am an eleven year member of AARP, and I am hoping the comment I am sending today will reach the writer of the article, "When You're Afraid To (Not) Sleep." Her name is Christina Ianzito. I see similar articles in the media all the time. They are written for persons of all different age groups, but I never see the most likely cause of the anxiety and sleeplessness even mentioned. Perhaps, because professionals in the field don't even recognize it as a cause, and the federal government, (specifically the Federal Communications Commission) denies there is a problem. The cause, as I have learned, is too much exposure in our modern world to wireless technologies which are emitting radiofrequencies (RF), a form of radiation. I know because I developed what I believe would be called Microwave Sickness after moving to a new location, and then experiencing insomnia, hearing high pitched sounds, and anxiety pretty much all at the same time. It was only after purchasing an RF meter from Safe Living Technologies of Canada, and evaluating my residence, that I learned my exposure levels were Extreme in many of my living areas. Next, I had one of the many consultants now working in the field, evaluate the condo with the best equipment available and with the knowledge and expertise to suggest how to address it. Their report confirmed what I had found and began to lead me toward possible solutions. After months of research, and talking to numerous consultants, I have been able to have the problem largely addressed. So, yes, there are some answers to this problem, and even some things that people can implement immediately. I'm not an expert in this field, but I am sending today a link to a TEDx TALK by one of the consultants in the field, Jeromy Johnson, whom I consulted with. His company is emfanalysis.com Wireless wake-up call | Jeromy Johnson | TEDx Berkeley Wireless wake-up call | Jeromy Johnson | TEDxBerkeley Play I believe AARP can bring this problem to light with your many publications and help get it addressed by the federal government and the industry itself. Thank you for all you do, Diana W. Pollock, B.A., M.C.R.P. (614)754-8724

I believ I had negative health affects from wireless radiation. In late 2018, I had bloodwork done and the results came back "pristine", according to my doctor. In 2019, near the house I live in, a cell tower was put up, less than 500 feet away. Later that year, I tried to stand up from the couch, and could barely move. Every joint, bone and my head hurt severely. The pain didn't go away. Day in and day out, I had no appetite and started losing weight, unintentionally. I went to a naturopath who gave me supplements.Nothing we tried would relieve the pein. This went on for 8 or so months. Pain 24/7. My hair fell out in clumps and I had various skin eruptions. My skin felt like it was constantly burning. I recieved certain remedies from a homeopath. I do not recall what they were. One day, the pain was so bad, I truly thought I would die. I could barely walk. Gradually, the pain subsided. I got bloodwork done again, by a hematologist/oncologist, and she diagnosed me with a "rare" cancer, Multiple Myeloma. I decided not to go through their treatments and persue diet changes. 8 years later, I am still alive, but have skin rashed and hair falling out.

Since a tower has been placed within a mile of my home our ears are ringing, my garden will no longer produce vegetables and my overall health is declining for no other reason.

I began developing physical symptoms including dizziness, pain in my skull, a sense of passing out, after taking advanced courses at the University of minnesota. I was supposed to be a computer software trainer. But the more I was exposed to high-end computers as they got stronger and stronger, the more my body started reacting. I developed in ovarian cyst for the first time after using a keyboard on my lap because of physical disabilities I couldn't sit up right and I had to sit sideways..... My first experience with a wireless mouse that worked on several gigabytes versus a wired mouse that I'd used for several years, my first experience with a wireless mouse is that it actually caused scarring on the right upper part of my arm. I stopped using it. Eventually with help from a friend and assistance from techies in the disabled community, we were able to put together a computer system that I was able to sit several feet back from. Using a wired mouse. But this was just the beginning of increasing problems. Remember, I was supposed to be a computer software trainer and I ended up with a bachelor in science from the University of Minnesota but wasn't able to do the work with a combination of multiple physical disabilities increased including increasing sensitivity to the technology as it got stronger. As I found myself nearer to cell phones that were becoming prolific (I was still using a landline telephone), and were being used by people in my life, I found that I could physically feel the energy from them that felt very uncomfortable and actually painful, within 15 to 20 feet of their use. When I found myself in a nursing home at the beginning of the pandemic after I lost my apartment due to multiple disabilities and a lack of PCA help, I was inundated by technology all over the place. Large flat screen TVs in public areas that I found myself not being able to be around, I didn't put a TV in my room at all, (when I was in my apartment I still was watching a small cathode ray tube TV, 6 ft away from it)... Anyway, people had cell phones all over the damn place, laptops, large TV screens, every single patient seemed to have some kind of large TV in their rooms, and if my room was next to a person's where the flat screen TV was up against my wall, I physically felt the electricity and I couldn't sleep. Exposure to all of this technology became more and more problematic. Eventually I started actually collapsing near the nurses station where there was so much technology in use and which was right near one of the gigantic large flat screen TVs used by the public community here. I actually started collapsing. I do have a history of autoimmune and inflammation diseases for several decades, and a history of brain damage going back several decades as well. But never collapsing. I got tested for epilepsy. I do not have epilepsy. However the electricity they used in the room to do the testing was so intense, I actually collapsed outside of the room before we could even do the testing. The problem is that I had become so ultra-sensitive to a combination of radio frequencies, EMF fields, RA's, electricity leaking through walls of this old nursing home that couldn't handle high-end technology, or proliferation of cell phones, and I just became sicker and sicker. My functional medicine doctor knew that this was a real physical ailment and diagnosed me with what is being called electromagnetic hypersensitivities. She knows it is real. It was terrible when some of the staff here started believing that I was acting out emotionally by collapsing on the floor. No, my brain and nervous system and all the cells in my body were reacting to the excessive exposure to all these different kinds of energy fields that were pummeling my body. So she gave me the diagnosis. And hold the staff unequivocally that this is real. So they stop pretending this is emotional. This is a real physical ailment. Unfortunately I've been forced to use a cell phone because there are no landlines in this nursing home except for staff. Which puts me in an exceptionally dangerous situation. I'm also concerned that there's talk about ending landlines in the united states. Which I believe would be a really dangerous as more and more people are realizing that excessive cell phone technology is dangerous. We are destroying ourselves, our bodies, probably other things in nature. When I don't absolutely have to use my cell phone as I am now to dictate this, I will put my cell phone on airplane mode and turn it off. And I have become concerned about the proliferation of cell phone towers and that cell phone companies are trying to keep increasing their power. Right now I am on a 4G cellphone and I don't want it to get any stronger. You need to do something to stop this danger that is being caused to all of us. Like cigarette companies making money off of our health problems 50 years ago, you need to stop these technology companies from doing the same.

As a worker with occupational exposure in the telecommunications industry, it became clear that distancing myself from Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure also removed the negative effects I was experiencing from these devices. The main symptoms I experienced while being exposed to these technologies were difficulty concentrating and extreme headaches that only subsided after a nights sleep. Cell towers and groups of smart meters have proven to be the most dangerous sources that I have found. Wifi will also cause concentration issues that will increase with signal strength, and multipule range extenders. This became obvious during wifi rollouts into retirement homes where the units were installed one after another down all the hallways.

Microwaving You Softly We are constantly being bombarded by radiofrequency (RF) radiation both inside and outside of our homes as a result of all the wireless technologies in our lives. This constant exposure could be affecting our health. Here's what I've learned. After moving to a new location in the city, I realized I couldn't relax and fall asleep at night. I was also starting to hear high pitched sounds. Having a degree in Environmental Biology, it occurred to me to buy an RF meter from Safe Living Technologies. The day the meter arrived, I evaluated my home and found the readings were at the Extreme level in many places in my unit. The invisible had become visible! After having consultants evaluate the property, and doing a lot of online research, I began to find solutions. As I implemented them, the RF meter told me I was making progress, and so did my sleep and the high-pitched sounds went away. I hope this message will reach you today, and you will see more clearly the risks in our modern world. Diana W. Pollock, B.A., M.C.R.P.

Date: October 17, 2026 To: Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Subject: Public Comment – Request for Information on EMF, RF, and Wireless Radiation Exposure Docket/Reference: HHS-OASH-2026-0397 To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to submit my personal testimony and public comment regarding the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Request for Information on the human health effects of electromagnetic fields (EMFs), radiofrequency (RF) radiation, and wireless infrastructure. Since wireless/cellular towers were installed directly at the entrance of our private small road, our family has experienced immediate and severe health declines: * Severe Cardiac Event: Shortly after the installation of the towers, my father suffered a major, unexpected heart attack that required emergency open-heart surgery. * Debilitating Neurological Symptoms: I personally have suffered from chronic, debilitating headaches that began concurrent with the activation of these nearby towers. Before these installations, our household did not experience these acute health crises. Living in close, continuous proximity to these wireless radiation sources has severely disrupted our quality of life, safety, and well-being. Current federal safety guidelines and public health monitoring do not adequately account for real-world, long-term, or close-range cumulative exposures experienced by residents living near small-road and neighborhood installations. I urge HHS and related policymakers to: 1. Acknowledge and investigate real-world health impacts: Incorporate direct public testimony and medical histories from individuals living adjacent to wireless towers into current scientific risk assessments. 2. Re-evaluate proximity standards: Establish stricter buffer zones, setback requirements, and lower exposure limits for residential areas and private roadways. 3. Fund independent research: Prioritize independent, transparent studies looking at the cumulative biological and cardiovascular effects of non-ionizing RF/EMF exposure on vulnerable populations. Thank you for the opportunity to submit this comment and for considering the real human toll of these exposures. Sincerely, Neighborhood Resident Chaparral Rd West Hills CA 91304 rzietal@aol.com

Since 2014, I've had RF sensitivity. Not EMF so much, but I cannot stay near cell phones, walk talkies, wifi or even cordless phones without strong symptoms if exposed for too long. We do not have wifi in our house and have opted out of smart meters. For me, RF exposure feels a lot like motion sickness and causes strong brain fog with nausea and light headedness. I've been using neural re-programming to try to undo this issue as the sensitivity affects my life badly due to having to avoid these situations. I have to drive older cars that have less technology in them. How much longer can I do that for? The neural reprogramming helps. In my case, I have autonomic nervous system disorder. I get migraines. I believe the ANS disorder is the cause of the RF sensitivity.

.I am drowning in 5G and cannot escape it. A huge cell tower is located approximately a quarter of a mile from my home in Kill Devil Hills, NC. It was installed around 2019-20. A small cell tower is located within 2000 feet of my vacation home in Ocean City, MD which was installed in 2019-20. Many other cells are located on water towers and hidden in attics of nearby hotels within short city blocks installed around the same time. I am a 65 year old federal retiree. I was 6’4”, 220 lbs and in perfect health. In 2024 I lost over 60lbs and went to the doctor. I was diagnosed with diabetes and put on Metformin. I continued losing weight and my resting heart rate was >95 bpm at any given time. With no improvement, I went to another doctor shortly after and she informed me that I have hyperthyroidism and was given Methimazole and Propanolol. Thyroid problems are not a part of my family medical history. My health slowly deteriated after the rollout of the cell towers. Other symptoms include: tinnitus, tremors, increased blood pressure, occasional memory/ concentration loss. increased grumpyness/irritability, enlarged thyroid, sleep disruption, frequent leg and hand cramps. In summary, I believe thorough investigation into 5G electomagnetic fields must be studied since it hasn’t been studied since 1996 prior to the increase in electrogmagnetic field output and technological changes. The studies must only be performed by scientist that have no affiliation with the wireless industry or the government. I believe it is damaging on the cellular level and is dangerous to humans and animals. The bats that used to come out every evening in the summer dissappeared around the same period the cell towers were installed. If we could see the electromagnetic fields that they are emitting, I am sure they would be outlawed. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to provide my concern. I pray something is done.
