The IEEE Spectrum reports that cell phone use for ten years
results in a benign tumor that causes hearing loss.

Is that 10 years continous use? If so, most youngsters will be death by the
time they are 18, if the 'music' hasn't 'got them by 15 ;-)

I'm glad I'm too old to like what passes for 'music' these days ;-)

I assume you mean deaf? Few people have used cell phones
for ten years already. Some of those few are starting to
get tumors inside their ears. I have switched over to a
headset for my cellphone activities after having one
for about three years.

Indeed, thinking of something else as I typed. Its the 'music' ;-)

Not sure about that. The mobile phone was an icon of the 'Yuppie' era (along
with the Filofax, BMW, Rolex, etc.) That was mid 1980s.

I'm pretty sure we one of the early 'next generation' phones (digital) in
about 1990.

Just checked, it One2One launched in 1993, and there were other systems
before that.

Hard to believe, I don't recall a time when we weren't plagued by the
'mobile'.

Few compared to an estimated 200,000,000 by 2017.

In which case, it could well be the end of the world! With all that RF
flying about, chances are, by 2017 every male in the world will be sterile.

If there's a moral here, it must be, don't keep your phone in your trouser
pocket!

More on the subject from:
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article...436543,00.html

"CHILDREN under the age of eight should not use mobile phones, parents
were advised last night after an authoritative report linked heavy use
to ear and brain tumours and concluded that the risks had been
underestimated by most scientists.

Professor Sir William Stewart, chairman of the National Radiological
Protection Board (NRPB), said that evidence of potentially harmful
effects had become more persuasive over the past five years.

The news prompted calls for phones to carry health warnings and panic in
parts of the industry. One British manufacturer immediately suspended a
model aimed at four to eight-year-olds.

The number of mobiles in Britain has doubled to 50 million since the
first government-sponsored report in 2000. The number of children aged
between five and nine using mobiles has increased fivefold in the same
period.

In his report, Mobile Phones and Health, Sir William said that four
studies have caused concern. One ten-year study in Sweden suggests that
heavy mobile users are more prone to non-malignant tumours in the ear
and brain while a Dutch study had suggested changes in cognitive
function. A German study has hinted at an increase in cancer around base
stations, while a project supported by the EU had shown evidence of cell
damage from fields typical of those of mobile phones."

You in the USA already? ;-)

Already I have used an already mobile phone for well over ten years already.
(not too sure how to punctuate that in the USA vernacular) ;-)
I see no signs of ill health in either myself, or my daughter already. We
both went with Orange about the same time. ( A British mobile phone network)
Now Orange work at about 1.8 Gig? At that time, that was about the highest
frequency phone system that was going. Now we have systems that work at 3
gigabyte? already. Or do they operate at even higher frequencies already?
I'm not to sure already.

Right! I'm off to bed already. ;-)
