Negative Effects of IPods



Taking your music everywhere on your iPod is wonderful. Even plugging in the ear buds to sleep to music at night is great. It sometimes gives you the opportunity to get into your favorite sounds.

But according to some hearing experts, ear buds on these and other portable music players are causing a lot of damage. They say that anything loud can harm hearing, and ipods and any ear buds on these and other portable music players are an example of this.

Maybe, we haven’t seen the effects yet., and maybe we become an ear, nose, and throat specialist, patients in the next 10 years because of having some hearing loss as a result of portable music players.

The iPod's buds - which fit into the ear - increase the amount of sound pressure directed into the ear canal. Because they seal into the ear, there is less sound escaping than in traditional headphones.

Listening to too many loud rock concerts, having the TV on too loud, or listening to a number of music devices including the iPod can all have negative effects on hearing. Any sound device with the capacity to cause ear damage. Especially those with headphones.

I know that many people know that listening to music insanely bad is not correct.
