MP3 players damage hearing, study says


…Experts Worry about the loud sound coming from the mp3 players while people are listening to music…

Some people think that listening to our ipods or mp3 players does not cause problems in our ears, in fact this is not true because we listen to our ipod or mp3 players when we are in the bus or on the train and we don’t think about how dangerous this can be if we listen to music all the time loudly. According to professor Fan-Gann Zenthis can damage our ears, this theory shows that if people keep listening their mp3 players loudly, in 10 years they are going to reduce their sense of hearing. Another professor, Bob Cowan from the Hearing Cooperative Research Centre, says that there are three main risk factors. "That they listen to their devices at loud or very loud levels; that they listen to their devices for more than a couple of hours per day and that they listen to their devices five to seven days per week"

Anyway the people in the street who have ipods or mp3 players are listening to them and they don't think in the risks, "they say listening to their ipods does not hurt, they say this is the best what the companies can made because when we are in the train or in the airports while we are waiting for something or somebody we can be listening to them, and really i don't think this can be dangerous is just listening to my ipod" he said.

In conclusion listen to our ipod or mp3 player cause problems in our hears for the future.
