Cellphones are dangerous/not dangerous, hearing loss edition



Apparently, talking on a cellphone for 60 minutes or more per day can result in a partial loss of hearing — at least that’s what some researchers in India are saying. The scientists conducted an experiment to test the correlation of hearing loss to the average use of a cellphone call. The experiment covered 100 participants with cellphone usage ranging from four years and over to just started using a cellphone. The results? Long-time users seemed to suffer some high-frequency hearing loss, usually in their right ears — the ear most commonly used for chatting on the celly. There also seemed to be some correlation between warm, full, or ringing sensations in the ear.
