Mobile Phones = Hearing Loss, Not Cancer

We all have heard about reports claiming that mobile phones could cause long-time users cancer. However, another study has been done and some researchers are now claiming that using mobile phones for a long period of time would not cause you cancer. However, you may be suffering from loss of hearing.

This study is being conducted by the Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER) which is based in India. The people behind the research are now saying that if you are a mobile phone user and you use your gadget for more than 30 minutes each day, you are at a greater risk of having hearing loss.

“This hearing loss was more in the dominant ear (ear of use). Presence of fullness in the ears, ear warmth, strange noises in the ear are warning signals which should not be ignored,�? claims Dr. Naresh Panda, the principal investigator.
