bendablephones in your ears, dangerous?
some say that too much cell phone use might very well cause medical problems
so whats with those people that leave them in their ears for ten hours a day ?
is it like tobacco?
some people deny and others just don't give a poop?

egregoreIf they'd stop keeping the blasted phone glued to their ears there would be no problem.

I think a lot more people die or are injured in car crashes, hit by cars, falling into open manholes, etc. while on their phones than of brain cancer.

Haveme1or2It's been studied that brain function slows in areas because of constant use of games and internet reading. I haven't heard of anything about the sound of talking.

PorterNif phone signals cause any illness, i'd be more worried about keeping your phone in your pocket near your junk than the small amount of time you put it up to your ear. unless you're talking about the headsets or ear pieces. then no. those aren't the problem.
but the "dangers" of cell phone radiation or whatnot kind of died out back before smartphones became a big thing. guess it wasn't actually as real or as much of a danger as everyone wanted to think back in the early 2000's.

Spokane228The digital signals they use now require much less power than the early analog phones. Much less radiation.

PrefontaineThere is still radiation so I always use a headset.
What am I doing? I'm talking to an empty telephone
