There has been a report this week that mobile phones 'show no evidence of harm to human health' .... the report by the UK's Health Protection Agency confirmed that hundreds of studies of mobile exposure had found no conclusive links to cancer
risk, brain function or infertility.
However has anyone considered the possibility of mass deafness in the coming decades, caused by generations of people playing very loud music on Walkmans, MP3 players and phones, via ill fitting earphones jammed onto their eardrums?
There is some evidence that was published in the journal BMC Neurology, that those listening to loud music in this manner for more than an hour every day are more likely to suffer headaches than others, but no evidence gathered on the long term consequences for hearing ..... and I include the poor person sitting next to them on public transport in this thought.
