mobile phones and hearing problemsHello I would like some advice concerning the use of mobile phones and base station phones. I now find it nearly impossible to use this sort of device and have reverted back to an old Phone at home as the base station phone causes me earache as does the mobile phone. My Wife took possession of her first mobile phone around 1995 and at the time we were using a Normal house phone, "direct cable link to junction box" I have never had a problem with this sort of phone. I also bought a mobile about one year after my wife and I found that after about Three minuets use I was developing some pain in my ear. I explained this to my wife and some friends but they just didn't understand as they had not experienced this feeling, now it has become so extreme that I use the mobile just for texting and have reverted back to a old fashioned phone indoors as my house base phone has the same effect as a mobile phone. Just to explain how bad this is, I will not use a mobile and to the other five members of my family they cannot understand why I have removed the base phone which has the capability to run a total of four phones within the house. The pain that I have to put up with is getting worse and I have to insist the use of an old fashioned phone and only texting on my mobile. I would like to know why I am experiencing this problem the earache that I have comes after only a few minuets of use, this was always in my right ear I then had to alternate between left and right, but now this does not have any effect, I last used the phone two days ago and have not used it since and my ears are still sore. The pain is in the ear and feels like it is also behind the lower part and extending to the jaw. I have also inquired if capped teeth can have any effect on mobile use but the response is pretty sketchy, I have in total six teeth capped and two bridges at the back of both sides of my lower jaw. I get a hot feeling in my ears but now it accelerates quite quickly into pain. I am willing to take any tests to prove that I am suffering with this problem; I am also required to use a mobile for work but cannot do this and feel that this sort of technology has damaged my hearing. I can hear the alarm bells ringing in some people who might be reading this "Compensation claim" but I can assure you this is no prank and it is certainly no laughing matter. I am all for advances in technology and have quite a few gadgets in our house especially with four children but if some things are causing concern they should be looked into. I am only looking for help as I am worried as to the cause of my pain and yes I have had a brain scan twice over the past ten years. They found nothing except for my brain. Any help would be appreciated Thank You Richard Jones |
