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.

fyi, some alarm systems (usually older systems so it might not be worth considering) emit a high frequency sound that can induce either a tinnitus-like ringing in the ears of some people or a sensation akin to diminished hearing.
Not everyone can hear or sense these systems but a surprising number of people can. I can and do. Years ago I could not enter any of the old Thrifty Drug stores w/o hearing the ringing and the decreased hearing. That is how I know about the effects. It was and is soooo weird.
