How is the noise cancellation a problem? I find myself able to hear the other person a lot better. It basically seems to reject all extraneous audio.. How the heck can silence hurt your ears?
I have no trouble with using my phone while driving. Actually, the 5 is way better then the 4. I had to turn my radio off in order to talk in the car.
For those getting on your high horse, talking is perfectly legal in most states, why is talking on my phone any different than talking to my passenger? Quit telling me what I can do in my own damn car!
Do you hold your right/left hand to your ear while you talk to a passenger in your car?
I think it should be illegal in all states. Use the earpods or a BT headset.
Anyway, yes the noise canceling is noticeable. How much it bothers you is very user specific.
Not illegal in North Carolina and I hope it stays that way, thank you very much. I hate BT headsets, they're obnoxious. My car does not have builtin BT and talking on earpods is more distracting because you have earphones in your ears and can't hear what is going on around you, THAT is what should be illegal! Every heard of speaker phone? It works quite nicely, thank you very much. The phone sits in my door handle while I drive down the road talking with both my hands on the wheel and probably way less distracted than the asshat in front of me with the obnoxious flashing blue BT headset talking while eating a cheeseburger and shaving! Again, stay out of my car. I know what I can and cannot do safely while driving because only I know MY abilities! SMDH!

OP: How about you use a headset and KEEP YOUR FREAKIN' HANDS ON THE WHEEL.
As a motorcyclist who has been in 3 life threatening near-misses this year all from drivers TALKING OR TEXTING this is a pet peeve.

If find it ironic that a motorcyclist is trying to tell someone how they should drive. Don't be offended, because i don't know you or how you drive.
But i CAN tell you i curse out at least 1 idiot on a motorcycle per day for the DUMB crap they do. be it weaving in and out between cars, cutting me off going 130 miles an hour etc etc.
Some people need to get off their high horses. As a motorcyclist, I have a problem with idiot drivers. Just because they are on the phone does not warrant this stupid agruement. It's my job while riding to know what each and every person is doing in their car when they're close to me. Not everyone is created equal. There ARE actually people on this planet that can multi-task just fine. Idiots that ruin things for others...
Oh and I'm pro talking and driving if you couldnt tell...
unfortunately that also makes the phone significantly louder, it is a fix that works, but it's not ideal.
I am on my 3rd IPhone 5, I had the 3 the 4s and loved them until now. The phone hurts my Ears hurt/throb after using. NO... I don't want to use a headset. Why should I be forced to use a headset. I cant stand the phone and feel it could be causing damage to my ear. This needs to be fixed. I would like my money back but I have been unsuccessful in getting it. I switched back to my 4S today until I can get a new phone. Any Ideas
I honestly dont even hear or feel the noise cancellation effects when im on the phone..pretty weird

So try just lowering the volume a bit?
