Abstract
Cases with tinnitus after using analogue cellular telephones
are presented. An increased odds ratio of 3.45,
95% confidence interval (CI) 1.77-6.76, was found for
vestibular schwannoma (VS) associated with the use of
analogue cell phones. During the time period 1960-1998,
the age-standardized incidence of VS in Sweden significantly
increased yearly by +2.53% (CI 1.71-3.35). A significant
increase in the incidence of VS was only found
for the latter of the two time periods 1960-1979 and
1980-1998. For all other brain tumors taken together, the
incidence significantly increased yearly by +0.80% (CI
0.59-1.02) for the time period 1960-1998, although the
increase was only significant for benign tumors other
than VS during 1960-1979.
