30 mins a day for 4 years, that's way too low. I would have thought everyone on earth would be using phone for more than 30 mins a day, and yeah they would have been using it eversince they are born.
So my only question is "Even if we do conclude this is harmful, there is no way we will stop using phone!!!"
Do you think people stop taking sugar because they fear diabetes or oil cause they fear cardiac arrest. Indian researchers got to use better subjects, here in US, there a lot of better topics that are researched on (I know a few are useless too!!!) than 30 min daily usage
100 sample size is too small to interpret anything. Another point that should be considered is spread of the 30 minutes talk time, Is it spread in the same manner? Now we have come to a stage where usage cell phones can not be avoided.

laxshmimadam,if we can not avoid then atleast we can minimum for the sake of our children who are just enjoying the new word.Mobile is only for communication not for conversation.--vivek from kolkata
Dear Sir, Mobile is used worlwide. What is the study on this globaly? How many have gone deaf because of continuous using of mobile? Publish case study - in details.
100 study patients divided into 3 groups. too small a figure to deduce anything. secondly were there any compounding factors i.e previous exposure to high intensity noise or previous ENT problems or chandigarh city's noise pollution. To conclude anything of this sort you need a control group not using mobiles But nevertheless - this is typical research
Gone are the days when telephone used to be an instrument for passing information. I still know a few people do not carry their cell phones after office hours and prefer to write mails or talk personally over a chat on the cell phone.
I can present CDMA users whose heartbeats were affected ,GSM users whose hearing were affected by polp-growth------Drunkargs and drug addicts as also movie addicts ao any other addict for that matter will never accept that they are addicted!
