Hi dboots; What I had read was that the outer hair cells are the most sensitive, critically tuned, to respond. Running loose with though here. at least the Hum is percieved as a sound, eyes responding to this sort of pulsed electromagnetics (I think) only respond with floaters, abnormal, and quite irradicate, I think I read it was the rods that are the most likely to be effected. I know it's strange even the pineal gland responds to light whether we have our eyes open or not. I believe that the other sensory pathways also respond to the electromagnetics - our earthly environment. I only wish that the IEEE, though so too, then they wouldn't have said that ( no quote here) that sensory perception of the pulsed or amplitude modulation and percieved effects is not a health hazard. Just doing my best to live with the pain. Sufferer Patty
