This article details the usage of cell phones and how it effects people’s hearing. It is a well known fact that listening to music too loud will harm your ears and render you temporarily ‘deaf’ but recent studies have shown that talking on cell phones too long and often can result in hearing loss too.

This is another source dedicated to the studies done on Cell phone usage and the possibilities of brain tumors. As it is now, none of the studies are able to prove the fact one way or another. There just is not enough data. Previous studies have indicated that there is no connection, but those were done with older phones, and people who have not been using cell phones from young ages. The main concern now is with children. Does their thinner skull affect the amount of radiation the phones are giving off?

I decided after gathering my information that I may not have enough research to complete the six to seven pages, so decided to broaden my horizons to include how driving with cell phones constitutes more danger. All in all, cell phones are proving to be harmful to an individual’s heath. This article details the statistics, as well as a study aimed at, driving with cell phones and the impairment because of such. The study has shown that college students are at the highest risk because they drive while using cell phones the most. I figured it would be a good article to include, because it rounds out my research. Cell phones are not just dangerous in regard to mental and brain health; they can be dangerous to your bodily health as well.
