Hi It’s possible that cell phone usage is linked to damage in the ear, especially in people who use their phones sixty minutes or more per day Frequent cell usage can cause tinnitus, a condition in which people hear “phantom sounds” – most commonly ringing in the ears, but for some, it’s a whistling, buzzing, or hissing noise. In some cases, it’s just a minor irritation, but it can be quite debilitating. This condition is caused by a combination of high volume and energy generation, which means that loud headphones can also be a contributing factor. Tinnitus, along with a sense of fullness in the ears or a warming sensation on the outer ear, can also be early signs of inner ear damage and future hearing loss To help prevent hearing loss as well as tinnitus, keep the phone away from your ear whenever possible: use the speaker function or even a headset as often as you can, and hold the phone slightly away from your head when you are using it Wish You Good Health Regards Dr Sridhar K
