The specific absorption rate of bone conduction implants in the ear on electromagnetic exposure

Abstract

Pople has become surrounded by a high level of pollution by radio and microwave waves as a result of the wide spread of coverage stations. Therefore, it was necessary to take the effect of electromagnetic exposure for people, especially the presence of implants in various parts of the body, including the ears, to reduce their negative effects.  Therefore, the aim of the research was to calculate and compare the specific absorption rate of bio tissues in ear using the FDTD (Finite Difference Time Domain) method through the CST (Computer Simulation Technology) program in two cases, the first with the presence of a bone conduction implant in the ear and the second in the absence of the implant, the results showed a 29.16% increase in the rate of Specific absorption in the presence of the implant at the frequency of 0.9 GHz and the ratio of 4.9% at the frequency of 1.8 GHz, and therefore this increase can lead to negative effects on tissuearoun implant.
