Mobiles could lead to hearing loss among college kids

Purdue University audiologists have found that cell phones or portable digital music devices could lead to hearing loss among college-bound adults, reports New Kerala, this a few days after an Israeli study found cell phone radiation causes damage to the visual system.

"We're starting to see hearing loss in young adults that we expect to diagnose in middle-aged adults."

People, especially young adults on a college campus, have something in their ears almost all the time as they walk from class, visit the library, work in the computer lab, drive in their cars and rest in their apartments. Their ears have very little quiet time to recover from noise exposure."
