The outer ear, which we can see, collects sound and sends it to the ear canal, where a layer of tissue called the eardrum vibrates and converts the sound into energy. This energy is then sent through three tiny bones that act as an amplifier to a long, coiled, fluid-filled tube called the cochlea, where the auditory nerve endings are located. This is the ear and the way of hearing. Similar to speech recognition software, here the sound is converted into electricity and sent to the brain via the auditory nerve, where it is converted into sound and understood.
Causes of Hearing Loss
Hearing loss can be caused by damage anywhere along this pathway.
How a Cell Phone Works
A cell phone has a battery that powers the circuit, a receiver for radio frequency waves, audio encoders and decoders, and a radio frequency transmitter that sends signals back to the base tower.
The sound is received by the transmitter and encoded into radio frequency waves, which are electromagnetic radiation (a mixture of electricity and magnetism). These waves are transmitted through an antenna to a receiver in a base station tower, continuously emitting radiation to establish a connection with a cell phone. These radiations are similar to microwaves. The phone's radiation to keep in touch is stronger the further it is from the tower.
Effects of Heat Radiation on the Brain and Body
Changes in the levels of brain hormones such as dopamine and serotonin, which are responsible for behavior and sleep, as well as mood swings and difficulty concentrating, ringing in the ears, early onset of cataracts in the eyes, and burning sensations in surrounding tissue such as the scalp and ears, are all effects of heat effect.
Non-Thermal and Thermal Effects
Non-thermal effects include changes in bio cycles (such as sleep, walking, eating, etc.), metabolism, sperm production, abnormal fetal development, and abortion, as well as thermal effects such as burning and tingling sensations, fatigue, sleep disorders, dizziness, loss of mental concentration, reduced reaction time, memory retention, and other similar symptoms.
Conclusion: Prioritizing Health Over Convenience
While technology makes our lives easier and more efficient, there are certain conditions attached to it. Unless necessary, cell phone use should be avoided at all costs. It is common to observe that every individual carries a mobile phone irrespective of the situation. They should be bold and use landlines or cable phones at work or at home. The health of our ears is of utmost importance. They shouldn't be afraid to prioritize their health over their lifestyle statements.
