The Turin Court of Appeal upholds worker compensation for worker with acoustic neuroma from wireless phone use
“He used his cell phone at least two and a half hours , every day, for 13 years. And now Inail has also been sentenced on appeal to recognize him a professional disability pension for having contracted acoustic neuroma , a benign tumor that affects a nerve in the ear.”
“The sixty-three-year-old had always used his cell phone with his left ear , because the right ear had already been damaged due to a previous trauma, with an overall calculation of between 10 and 13 thousand hours , from 1995 to 2008. After undergoing surgery for the tumor, he suffered total deafness in that ear and also damage to the facial nerve with consequent paralysis on that side of the face and a state of depression.”
