Radiation health crusade continues

http://www.fresnobee.com/2011/03/10/2305207/1-year-later-perea-case-investigated.html

One year ago: Mindy Brown, widow of Fresno State football coach Dan Brown, traveled to Maine and San Francisco as part of her crusade to warn people about potential health risks of radiation emitted by cell phones.

Today: Brown, 52, continues to lobby for requiring cell phones to have warnings about radiation. She's been asked to speak a second time in Maine -- where the legislation she favored was defeated last year. This summer she plans to go to Oregon to support legislation, and plans to help lobby for California legislation she expects will be introduced in the next few weeks or month.

Her efforts remain controversial. The scientific community is divided over health effects of the low levels of electromagnetic radiation emitted by the phones. The cell-phone industry maintains the phones are safe.

Brown said she can't stop. She's fulfilling a promise she made to her husband, who died of a brain tumor on March 13, 2009. The couple was convinced the cancer was caused by radiation exposure from a cell phone.

"We're hanging in there -- just fighting the battle," Brown said.

"But tragically, I think it's going to take more dead bodies before something is done."

Hearing Damage From Cell Phones

http://www.ctv.ca/generic/WebSpecials/pdf/cellphones_hearing.pdf

It can thus be concluded that long term use of mobile phone is associated with high frequency hearing loss. This loss increases with increase in duration of exposure, with more loss on the
dominant side than the non-dominant side. Presence of ear symptoms during mobile phone use viz. ear warmth, fullness or tinnitus may be a warning sign for impending hearing loss.

Further follow up studies are required to see if changes seen in ABR and MLR studies are reversible after modification of mobile use habits.
