While the hand feeling could easily be attributed to the battery discharge
warmth, the feeling around the ears is more difficult to ascribe to the
batteries.

Umm... many cell phones get noticeably warm over time due to internal power
dissipation. (In fact, the amount of heat generated by the battery is
negligible compared to the heat generator by, e.g., the RF power amplifiers,
the digital circuitry, etc.)

How many studies have been done looking for beneficial health outcomes from
the use of cell phones? Like wine and alcohol in moderation are now
considered to be!
