Tidbits: I-Pods and your ears..

[m_allan]

So, I just saw this video on the news about how according to studies more and more people are being affecting by hearing loss at younger and younger ages because of listening to the I-Pod at too of a volume for too long.

This kind of seems like a no brainer to me.  I mean, you've got music being pumped RIGHT INTO your ears.  Cranking it up too

I always listen to my iPod with the volume maybe halfway up. All my friends think it's too quiet. Case in point...

I used to have a Walkman! Cassettes and everything. I was a bit late in getting a CD player, and I definitely jumped on the iPod/mp3 bandwagon a bit late, but now I have two, a Nano and a Video. They're great for keeping you company if you walk around a lot like I do, and yeah they are pretty good for the gym. If you don't have a bunch of money to throw around and you just want music, you should get one of the cheaper mp3 players. I've seen some for like $30, which is a lot better than the hundreds of dollars iPods cost. Gym memberships, though, are extremely expensive. I'm lucky my parents buy me everything, huh? lol XD
