Our readers matter most to us. We have opened a page for robust debate among you. This page does not have a political stand and should be read in that spirit. We do not seek either to offend or to appease. We strive to present all points of view but expressed in a civil manner. Speak up and be heard.

  • My hearing has become worse due to mobile phone usage.
  • My vision becomes bleary after working for over half an hour on a handheld device.
  • Fear of ear tumours from phone radiation has made me use hands free headset.
  • Governments need to focus medical research on the health impact of wi-fi.

Submission guidelines:
The debate and poll will close on Tuesday, at midnight. Send us your arguments at readers@gulfnews.com. Please do send in your photographs if possible. The word limit is 150. We welcome all points of view, as long as they are within the bounds of civil discourse. We will edit for length and clarity, to accommodate as many voices as possible.

The use of mobile phones has become addictive, and at the same time it also has negative effects on our health, especially our hearing.
