Do you think that the popularity of iPods and mp3 players are going to cause this generation of people to be more susceptible to hearing loss in the future?

yeah me too! i’ve started turning my volume low these days.

Ikr me to

Yeah, for sure. But it’s 100% worth it :D

Ummm u say that now, wait ill ur like 70 and deaf and can’t hear anything, it becomes very frustrateing

I’m not gonna live until I’m 70, lol. So hopefully I won’t have that problem.

Lol

AHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Yes.. It has already started in me. lol I really TRY to keep the volume down, but it keeps coming up and up! :DD That is completely true, but it is not gonna make me deaf I don’t think.. I just won’t be able to hear as well as I might have been able… It is worth it.. I love music. What I really don’t want to go bad is my eyes!!! D:)) But that is a different matter..(: It is happening as we speak…. The world is getting louder and louder….. and quieter and quieter…. ): Not just with iPods and mp3 players though….

Unfortunately yes ..but try to avoid keeping the music on a loud volume hopefully dey invent something that would be soft on the ears ..=D

Definitely. You already see it in younger people more often. Even the television in the past couple of years has probably caused hearing loss because people put it on high volume all the time.

No more so then the generation in which walkmans became popular. Hearing loss has increased since the creation of the first portable music player. So in about 30 years everyone in the free world will be hard of hearing.
