Plaintiff's counsel take note, the next wave of mass litigation is literally at your finger tips. A new report from the Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research in Chandigarh, India, concludes that regular cell phone users ( those that talk for more than an hour a day) were found to have suffered high-frequency hearing loss. Such hearing loss results in an inability to hear consonants like F and T.
The Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research indicates that "[their] intention is not to scare the public" and "there is as yet no cause for alarm." But in Legal Pub's opinion, you have some ready made experts on your product liability claims as cell phones currently do not have adequate warning labels. Now on a personal note, if you have children addicted to cell phone use (Are you listening kids?) and if you value the ability to hear (most kids use "huh' as a built in excuse), you might want to reduce cell phone usage.
As for Trial Lawyers, let the litigation commence. After all, is not the company line that "manufactures only create safer products when their bottom line profit margin is at risk?" I have to think the potential hearing loss cases could dwarf asbestos litigation.

I am having problems hearing. Do you think I should cut back on cell phones or do you think I am just tired of listening to my spouse?

I can not see cell phone usage declining any time soon. It has become part of life. Perhaps they can be made safer by finding out what is causing the hearing loss and then correcting the problem to reduce the damage.
How is that for a mature response.

Shell your are repeating yourself. You also need to use a question mark at the end of your sentence. Did those Beverly Hills schools not ephasiaze punctuation?
If you don't want hearing loss, don't talk so much on the cell phone. Have your agent use the regular telephone and buy an answering machine. Or in other words, people just need to use common sense.
