Definition:
Bluetooth hearing aids are also known as bineural hearing aids. They shall be referred to as such throughout this article. These hearing aids are different than the ones that where being used just a year or so ago. They are a major leap in technology. Bineural hearing aids interact with cellular phones using bluetooth technology. When I asked an audiologist about how these wireless hearing aids work she replied, "They talk to each other and to the cellphone. You can control the hearing aids from the cellphone."
Implications:
Let's pause and really consider the implications: The hearing aid is sending a signal through the brain that reaches the other hearing aid and both in turn communicate with the cellphone. The problem lies in the fact that most of these hearing aids, if not all of them, are operating at 2.45GHz which is also known as 2450MHz. This is the same frequency as your microwave oven. Therefore, neurological changes could occur as a result of using bineural hearing aids. In the past, in various studies on rats, monkeys, mice, and rabbits some ivy league scientists noted harmful brain responses to 2.45GHz.
Testing:
I've personally tested some of these hearing aids using a plasma ball (similar to how the brain works). I placed one hearing aid on each side of the ball and I watched a blue plasma bridge form from one hearing aid to the other across the interior of the plasma ball. The bridge remained until one hearing aid was removed. Therefore, it is entirely feasible that the plasma bridge would cause neurons to tighten and for some neurons to die. In the worst case scenario, I suspect that lymphocyte cells would begin to attack the unrecognized neurons thinking they are foreign bodies in need of removal.
Symptoms:
If you are using bineural hearing aids and you've noticed an increase in your tinnitus or other neurological abnormalities then you should consult your doctor immediately. While the physical damage may occur immediately, the symptoms of the damage may take years to present. When in doubt...opt out. Ask for the older hearing aids that do not "talk to each other". Ask for hearing aids that are not in the 2.45GHz range.
Recommendation:
Starkey still makes some nonbineural hearing aids. Sadly, Resound is phasing out all nonbineural hearing aids. I like Resound. I wish they'd leave us all an option, especially since the World Health Organization has approved Electromagnetic Sensitivity as a genuine medical condition.
FCC:
One of the greatest deceptions that I have ever seen is a (not-to-be-named) company stated that their bineural hearing aids are certified for use by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). By stating this they are giving their customers a false sense of safety. The FCC does not determine whether the product is biologically safe to use.
The FCC determines that the product does not interfere with other communications sources that are operating near or in that frequency range. In other words, the FCC is saying, "This will not interfere with aircraft, military, radio, or other communications systems. Therefore it is okay to sell." There is no regulating agency that oversees the biological safety of human beings in relation to wireless transmissions.
Take Charge:
As a customer, you have to make the call for yourself. You have to take charge of the management of your condition and protect yourself as you deem appropriate. Take a stand. You have a choice.

Tinnitus: Information and Technology Update
Here is an update on current events in tinnitus information and technology:
ATA Article
This month the American Tinnitus Association published an article on Mapping the Brain. Fatima Husain, a neurologist at University of Illinois presents a map showing areas of the human brain that are involved in tinnitus. Three of the five pinpoints are in the mid-brain. That is important because it explains why mood can change quickly in response to tinnitus.

Novacure
Novacure is a new brain tumor treatment. The company has had some great success. They have treated an olympic athlete and the man's brain tumor shrunk smaller and smaller until it vanished. Skeptical? Don't be. It makes perfect scientific sense.
Prior to the 1970s, human beings were born into the ideal electromagnetic environment, 7-10Hz, emanating from the Earth. Now human beings are born into an artificial electromagnetic environment that is 1 Tesla, which is 20,000 times beyond the Earth's natural electromagnetic source. In short, the human body is confused, because it does not know what planet it is on. Novacure may be recalibrating the brain back to the ideal electrical environment giving the human brain the ability to rid itself of abnormal brain matter and regenerating new nerves. This is not outside of the realm of scientific possibility.
The only concern that I would have with Novacure in relation to tinnitus is that the electrical source may be pulling negative ions from dental fillings like a circuit board up into the mid-brain. This could cause albumin to leak out of the mid-brain and cause tinnitus or even make existing tinnitus worse. On the other hand, Novacure (if operating in the ideal human electrical environment) may actually restore leaked albumin to its rightful place and possibly cure some tinnitus sufferers (the ones with brain damage and not cochlear damage or auditory nerve damage).

Univ. of Washington
Dr. Gerald Pollack, Physics Professor of the University of Washington, has been doing some great research on gel. Gerald noted that the cells in the human body are actually a gel which is a different state (or phase) of water than ice or tap water. The auditory nerve contains a high viscosity gel that acts like a coaxial cable to the brain. Dr. Pollack and I have been discussing the possibility that the auditory nerve may act like a pump when exposed to artificial electromagnetic field sources. He explained to me that the brain, auditory nerve, and even the cochlear cilia cells are all gel. In fact, to him our entire body is made up of various gels. He and I both agree that the human body is likely more sensate to electromagnetic fields than originally thought.
