Lookout your hearing while enjoying music on the go. Hearing experts are concerned that hearing loss will take place because listening to music through these portable devices can be both loud and long.
Causes:
1. Dont sound at maximum volume and that would pose a problem or any damage in
2. Music and other loud noise cause hearing loss by damaging the hair cells a part of our inner ear that helps transmit sound information to our brain.
3. First it starts with temporary damage which lasts may be next day or two after hearing rock or any music loud.
4. Extremely loud noise such as a gunshot, bomb blast and its continuation for few days can permanently damage these hair cells.
5. Any sounds above say 90 decibels (db) may cause some hearing loss. Usually portable music players are able to produce higher then 90 (db)
The worst thing is nobody notices until some of its hearing has been permanently damaged.
General preventives:
1. Do not turn up the volume above 90 (db) to block out those background sounds.
2. Keep the volume at a level where you can still comfortably carry on conversation.
3. Also do not let people near you to hear your music.
4. Be careful so that you do not find yourself shouting instead of talking when you are responding to a nearby person.
Enjoy your music on the go for decades to come.
