Mobile phone induced sensorineural hearing loss.

While this is a single case report rather than a large-scale study, it raises important questions about mobile phone safety that extend beyond brain tumors and cancer. The science demonstrates that radiofrequency radiation can affect biological systems in ways we're still discovering, and hearing loss represents a potentially widespread but underrecognized health effect. What makes this particularly concerning is that sensorineural hearing loss is often irreversible, unlike some other EMF-related symptoms that may resolve when exposure stops. The reality is that we hold these devices directly against our heads for hours each day, creating intense localized exposure to delicate structures in the ear and brain. You don't have to abandon your phone, but simple precautions like using speaker mode or wired headsets can dramatically reduce your exposure while maintaining connectivity.
