cell phone radiation and pain anyone's ears hurt from cell?

my right ear is always hurting and i think it is due to me always using my cell phone on that ear. anyone else having the same problem. also sometimes when girls call me they scream and yell and shit and the blow up my ear it would be awesome to have a limiter so that can't happen. anyone know a way we could do this?

also i found this. it look interesting and could explain why my ear hurts

this uses air tubes to stop the radiation from hitting my ear.
what do you guys think?

those people that try to con people into believing radio waves can hurt a person are idiots. seriously! I am a physicist and trust me radio waves are far too long a wavelength to even remotely effect the human body. Not to mention that a cellphone is only able to output radiation in the milliwatts range! You get more radiation (in UV) going outside on a sunny day.
But yea I think your problem might be more sound waves than radio waves hurting your ears... try holding the phone away from your ear when getting a call from a known "loud girls"...

why is this in gear talk?

Thanks.

I've recorded stuff through cell phones into a microphone, so technically, a cell phone is "gear".

Works as a really lo-fi digital delay too....

ive done that too. ive also done straight through the "line out" which is this annoying 2.5 mm mini-mini jack

And how does that make you feel?

Just kidding, but seriously, I used to keep my cell phone in my left front pants pocket, and then the inside of my left leg started going to sleep for days at a time. I went to the doctor & chiro-quackter and they did MRIs etc. but never came up with anything solid.

Then I lost my cell phone. Took me a week to get over to the store and replace it. Durning that week, my leg came back to life. It wasn't 'til I got the new one and my leg went back to tingling that it dawned on me that it might be the cell phone causing it.

Now, I don't care if it is impossible for a cell phone to cause ill effects on the human body, but now that I don't keep my cell phone in my pocket, my leg has been fine.

Hell, it could just be the way it makes me sit when it's in my pocket, but it was definately the cell phone causing the problem!

Interesting article about research on this, and industry attempts to suppress the findings:

hehe sorry I was a bit drunk when I posted that. But seriously radio waves can't hurt you. That study was done with microwaves and takes a "leap of faith" in assuming that the same effects could happen in the much longer wavelength radio waves. The reason microwaves cook food is because they are tuned to the resonant frequency of water molecules so that they excite the water when they pass through the food....

I know you can't always trust the government when it comes to health issues but here's what the fda says about cellphones and well in my opinion at least in this case they're not lying:

Well, according to that article, cell phones do emit microwaves:

"The idea behind that study was relatively simple: expose rats to microwave radiation similar to that emitted by cell phones, then examine their brain cells to see if any DNA damage resulted."

ugh yeah..I used to keep my cell phone in my pocket too and it DEFINITELY caused me to pop boners like all day long..I mean at work I would be next to some dude and all of a sudden he would be like wow holmes you have a pop-tent..it was sooo bad..the worst was when my supervisor's little daughter came by for "bring your child to work day"..it was like BONER CITY..haha imagine that for a second though a city of boners..imagine though a whole sky filled with boners..or a whole universe man..the possibilities are endless..one time I sawed this guy take a poo in the middle of the day in the west village..right between two planters..it was like projectile poo and dying animal noises..it was AWESOME..but my favorite was when I went to the funeral of the guy who OD'ed on Viagra..it was an open casket event..wink wink nudge nudge..elephant..ha ha ha elephant ears..and stuff..bruce willis

no, it'd be wrong if it gave you a boner.
