Study Links Personal Music Players To Hearing Loss

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the time-for-this-again dept.

fprintf writes "A recent NY Times article discusses links between personal music players and hearing loss. This is not anything new; personally, I have hearing loss from listening to my Sony Walkman cassette player many years ago. However, given the widespread use of the personal music players, I see people using earbuds everywhere; is there a technical solution to the potential danger?"

    Either we turn down their mp3 players for them or we get to listen to them whining about how "nobody warned them" in 20 years time when deafness is the norm.

    Turning down the mp3 players will suck up less tax $$$ so I think it's the correct choice.
