Avoid using headphones after
exposure to extremely loud
noises, such as rock concerts,

hearing loss. Temporary hearing
loss might cause unsafe volumes

experience any temporary
hearing difficulty after listening to
your portable audio device,
discontinue use and consult your

Update on Mobile Phones:
1. Do wireless phones pose a health
hazard?
The available scientific evidence
does not show that any health
problems are associated with using
wireless phones. There is no proof,
however, that wireless phones are
absolutely safe. Wireless phones
emit low levels of Radio Frequency
(RF) energy in the microwave range
while being used. They also emit
very low levels of RF when in
standby mode. Whereas high levels
of RF can produce health effects (by
heating tissue), exposure to low
level RF that does not produce
heating effects causes no known
adverse health effects. Many studies
of low level RF exposures have not
found any biological effects. Some
studies have suggested that some
