A very good point - I did not want to make previous post too long, but (for other reasons than concerns about EMF) we actually do not have or use at home practically any of the mentioned things (microwave, baby monitor, wifi, satellite TV ... what for? [wifi does not work well in our house as it has to pass more conrete ceilings so we use other ways to network]). Regarding the cordless phone, we use one of few models that actually do not emit any signal as long as they are not in use and one or three minutes of calling once in two or four weeks is somehow not enough to cause any problems (I just hate phone calls, that is, why I actually do not use a mobile phone either). I am pretty sure there are no devices sending permanently microwaves in the 1-5 GHz spectrum in or around our home - I mean it was pretty akward to decide and start bothering my employer with the issue and was looking for other explanations all over first (that does not mean I have not overlooked something - and if I did I would still like to know). I have more evidence for thinking the hotspot was the reason for magnifying my hearing problems (e.g., similar problem occuring later on when being for a longer time at my brother's place and having to read/sit/sleep next to his wifi router), but this is completely OT.
I however have no reason to claim that the effects were or could have been permanent. They always disappeared when I left work etc. It is just that the things are never the same once you get such problems... and it is hard to trust anything on such an issue when formally there should not be any effect at all.
Best,
