Indoor wireless devices, such as Wi-Fi routers, cell phones, and other wireless technology, emit electromagnetic radiation in the form of radiofrequency (RF) waves. There is ongoing research into the potential effects of RF radiation on human health, including concerns about its impact on hearing and other sensory functions.

As for canines, there is limited research on the specific effects of indoor wireless devices on their hearing. Dogs have a different range of hearing frequencies than humans, and it's possible that they may be more sensitive to certain types of sounds or frequencies.

While there is no conclusive evidence to suggest that indoor wireless devices directly and significantly affect a dog's hearing, it's essential to consider the overall well-being of your pets when using such devices. Keep in mind that dogs can be sensitive to loud and high-pitched sounds, and they may become stressed or agitated by excessive noise. It's a good practice to monitor your dog's behavior and stress levels, especially if you have many electronic devices emitting sounds or if you frequently use devices that emit high-pitched sounds, like ultrasonic dog deterrents.

If you have concerns about the impact of wireless devices on your dog's well-being, it's best to consult with a veterinarian or an animal behavior specialist for guidance and recommendations to ensure your pet's comfort and health.
