Too much chatting on your cell phone may cause hearing loss.
Researchers in India measured the hearing of 100 cell phone users and 50 landline-only folks and those who had cell phones for 4 years or more showed a steep drop in auditory test results.
The scientists also found that talk time matters: People who chatted on their cell for over an hour daily had more hearing damage than less loquacious types. Use a hands-free earpiece with volume control whenever possible.
