Fox TV Dr. Manny Asks Dr Cherukuri About Hearing Loss

http://www.mdhearingaid.com/ - The Maximum output of an MP3 player such as an iPod can get up to 115 decibels, which can cause permanent hearing damage in as little as 8 to 15 minutes. Two ways to reduce the risk: Stay away from in the ear headphones, which sit much closer to the ear drum and can get much louder, and use the 60/60 rule. No more than 60% of maximum volume for 60 minutes at a time and then take a break. Ears that get a rest are less likely to get damaged.
