The seven most ear-damaging ways to make phone calls

In modern life, with the rapid development of science and technology, almost everyone has a mobile phone. The fast-paced working style makes us have "intimate contact" with mobile phones every day, and electromagnetic radiation quietly harms our bodies. For this reason, experts remind people to change seven bad phone habits:

1. Private phone calls "hide in the corner and talk quietly"

When it comes to calls involving private matters, many people like to hide in a corner of a building to answer the calls. In general, the signal coverage in the corners of buildings is relatively poor, which will increase the radiation power of the mobile phone to a certain extent. Based on the same reason, you should be careful when using your mobile phone in a small and enclosed environment such as an elevator.

2. Hold the phone close to your ear when making a call

When a mobile phone makes a call but the call is not connected, the radiation will increase significantly. At this time, you should keep the phone away from your head and wait about five seconds before making another call.

3. Hang your phone around your neck or waist

The radiation range of a mobile phone is a ring-shaped belt centered on the mobile phone. The distance between the mobile phone and the human body determines the extent to which the radiation is absorbed by the human body. Therefore, people need to maintain the "beauty of distance" between themselves and mobile phones. Some medical experts pointed out that people with heart failure and arrhythmia should not hang their mobile phones on their chests. If the mobile phone is often hung around the waist or abdomen, it may affect the reproductive function. A healthier and safer method is to put your mobile phone in your carry-on bag and try to place it on the outside of the bag to ensure good signal coverage.

4. The weaker the cell phone signal, the closer your ear should be to it

When the cell phone signal becomes weak, many people will instinctively hold the phone as close to their ears as possible. However, according to the working principle of mobile phones, when the signal is weak, the phone will automatically increase the transmission power of electromagnetic waves, which significantly increases the radiation intensity. If you put your ears close to your head at this time, the radiation received by your head will increase exponentially.

5. "One ear" cooks "mobile phone porridge"

Studies have shown that long-term continuous radiation may affect the brain. Experts suggest that it is not advisable to use mobile phones for long conversations. You can consider using a landline or headphones instead. If you have to talk directly on the mobile phone for a long time, you should alternate between using the left and right ears every one or two minutes.

6. Wandering around and moving frequently

Some people like to pace unconsciously and move frequently while using their mobile phones, but they are not aware that frequent changes in position will cause the strength of the received signal to fluctuate, thereby triggering unnecessary short-term high-power transmission. In addition, when making a call on the phone while in a moving car, the phone may designate a high-power base station with a wider coverage area to provide services in order to avoid too frequent area switching. Its transmission power will increase with the increase in transmission distance.

7. Long-term tilted neck when making phone calls

Studies have shown that excessive tilting or stretching of the neck for a long time can lead to ischemic stroke, and acne is more likely to occur on the side of the face where the phone is held.
