Hearing Loss

Continuation of last post!!!!!!!!
No, I am neither a quack doctor nor a specialist.
But through personal experiences and research, I have found out one interesting thing, Lets see what it is.
Portable/Personal entertainment has taken off.
With FM radio channels, large mega bytes of music, there is never a dull moment when you have a cell phone for company.
But let us put some light on an issue, once highlighted by my friend, and now validated by university researchers.
I am not technophobic, I love technology. But I am mindful of its after-effects.
I am not talking about radiation, etc.
I am talking about a simple and logical issue.
Ok, enough beating around the bush.
I am talking about side-effects of using earphones.
I am not against ear-phones, even I use them.
The problem starts with location of its use.
The location dictates the level of ambient sound. Ambient sound can be simply put as surrounding/background sound.
Now consider that the maximum volume for your earphones is 30,
now in normal circumstances when there is not much ambient sound,
you would keep the volume between 20-25.
But if you are in a locale/area where the surrounding noise is high,
say on the road in heavy traffic,
that is when you would increase the volume above 25, to be able to hear clearly,
which is not good for your ear, because now the volume will be what, normally would have been too loud for you. But, as you are in a noisy place, you have to keep it that way. Maybe that enables you to hear your favorite song, but what about the damage done to your sensitive ears, while they are pounded by loud music. Think about it!
Enjoy Life! But Be Safe! That way you get to enjoy for a long time!
