		Weinberger suggested that using a stethoscope-like extension device that transmits sound from the cellphone by air to the ear attached to the phone would be safer, as this device does not transmit electromagnetic radiation.
		This shape is perfect for making the head serve as a resonator for electromagnetic radiation emitted by the cellphone, which causes it to absorb much of the energy specifically from these wavelengths.
