How to minimize effect of microwave signas for trains tha give me headache and ear ache?
gold standard asked:
I live about one mile from tracs. My neighbor has a dish that is run by the same company that provides signal to trains. Every time trains run at night, I get severe earache and head ache, though the noise is far away and not very loud.
Can I put aluminum foil at the back of my head board–or some thing like that to twart the microwave signals?

Personally, it sounds more like your neighbors problem than yours. I’d tell your neighbor about it, call the railroad company and ask them to fix it. I’d also check to see if there are laws regarding certain signals EMF and frequencies. The same goes for transformers on light poles. Anything is better than getting a headache. Of course if nobody fixed anything and you still got the headaches you would need to prove it was the railroad signal dish. That would cost tons of money and years in court. Is that worth it to you? They’ve got the money and the lawyers. If they claim to have fixed it and you still have headaches. I’d move.
Maybe foam rubber ear plugs like ‘Husher’.
I would write a letter to the railroad and let them know. Perhaps they can help.
Based on what you’re saying, I doubt it’s the microwave signals that’s the cause.
Depending on the acoustics of your area or house, I’m willing to bet that the it’s more likely your hearing is ultra-sensitive to the frequencies of the noises that trains make.
Before going to the doctor, try getting a set of earplugs, preferably the wax or foam type available from most any pharmacy.
Give it a few nights and see if it works. When you do go to the doctor, be sure to mention each detail. Time of night, temperature, past history of headaches, any known or suspected sensitivity to noise(s) etc.
Bravo to all who have answered so far, particularly “Paul A”
I might add however that if it is determined that however unlikely, Electro Magnetic Radiation (EMR) is determined to be the cause, that you print out a copy of “Part 15″ of the FCC regulations available on the web.
