Effects of Mobile Phone on Hearing

Zeeshan Mir Baz has collected the information from thewebsite:http://www.hearfon.com/effects-mobile-phone-hearing/ in this article said that:

Many studies have shown Effects of Mobile Phone on Hearing using mobile phones for more than 30 minutes a day can change the hearing threshold. The minimum level of sound that is audible to a person is the hearing threshold for that person. The hearing threshold shift is more so in higher frequencies.
The main reason for the hearing loss is the exposure of the ear to the electromagnetic field emitted by mobile telephones. The heat emitted by the mobile phone further adds to the damage.
The factors that play a role in the effects of mobile phones on hearing capacity include:
History of use – How long the person has been using mobile phones:
Studies have shown that people who talked over mobile phones for one or two years had a 16.48 decibel hearing loss in the higher frequency range.  But those who used mobile phones for more than four years showed a hearing loss of 24.54 decibels.
Duration of use – How long the person uses in a day:
People who talk on mobile phones for more than 30 minutes a day showed a higher threshold shift than a control group who used for less than 30 minutes.
Initial hearing loss is temporary and hardly noticeable by the person or his significantly close people. Only after a significant hearing loss occurs, the person notices changes in understanding speech in crowded or noisy places.


Symptoms of the ear such as ringing in the ears and fullness in the ears can occur initially. Long term mobile phone use can cause damage to the inner ear.  The possible reasons for blaming the cell phone for causing hearing loss include:
  • The proximity of electromagnetic waves to the ear
  • Exposure to continuous sound, that can be loud, very close to the ear
  • Low quality earphones cause the user to raise the volume of the music, making it even more hazardous
  • High volume of high frequency sounds cause damage to the inner ear.


Hearing loss due to cell phones can be prevented by the following ways:
  • Limit the use of cell phones to necessary talking, go for landline when possible
  • Do not use low quality ear phones
  • Use speaker mode when the chat is very long
  • Bluetooth head set can reduce the exposure to electromagnetic radiation
  • Use low volume levels for listening to music
Mobile phones are here to stay and further improve. One cannot stay away from them and lag behind when the technology is progressing. It is necessary to educate oneself from the dangers and use strategies to prevent hearing loss and other harmful effects of cell phones.

The 4 Best Phones for Privacy & Security

Zeeshan Mir Baz has collected the information from this website:https://smartphones.gadgethacks.com/how-to/4-best-phones-for-privacy-security-0176106/ in this article BY  JON KNIGHT   06/12/2018 5:07 AM  said that: Smartphones are inherently bad for privacy. You've basically got a tracking device in your pocket, pinging off cell towers and locking onto GPS satellites. All the while, the handset's data connection ensures that tracking cookies, advertising IDs, and usage stats follow you around the internet. So no, there's no such thing as a perfectly secure and truly private smartphone, let's get that out of the way now. But in the information age, you practically need a smartphone just to get by in society, so the question then becomes: Which phone manages to be the lesser of all the evils? With critical vulnerabilities such as the  KRACK  exploit and  Blueborne , not to mention the  FBI attempting to find a backdoor  into practicall...

7 unique smartphones you’ve likely never heard of

Zeeshan Mir Baz has collected the information from this website:https://www.androidauthority.com/unique-smartphones-youve-never-heard-585176/ in this article The Best by Andrew Grush February 16, 2015  said that: Back in 2012 we wrote a piece on phones you’ve probably never heard of. At the time, brands mention included Xiaomi, Blu, THL, among others. Something big has happened in the Android world since then: many of these names are actually reasonably well known these days, thanks to growth in global sales and websites like ours that help bring lesser known devices to light. That said, there’s still a host of devices that are largely unheard of for those in the Western markets. While not all of them are winners on the spec front, many stand out either due to aggressive pricing, unique designs, build materials or even just having massive batteries. With that in mind, we take a look at seven devices that you may have never heard of, or at the v...
