Have you seen someone using their MP3 player as an fashion accessory? Not only have it around them, but listening to it every moment of the day? Well listen up because European scientists have sounded the alarm about the dangers of using digital music players, warning that listening to them too long and too loud can cause permanent hearing loss.
Europe has already restrict noise levels from such MP3s to 100 decibels, but the European Commission said that there was growing concern about excessive exposure to such devices, especially among youths.
MP3 players are so valuable and very convenient to people. Many listen to their personal choice when they are at the gym, walking their dog, doing homework, or even just relaxing. But now that they are causing health problems, it will be extremely hard to separate MP3s from society.
The European Union's executive arm estimated that there are roughly 50 to 100 million people who may be listening to portable MP3 music players on a daily basis. So, the only way from lowering the risks to MP3s will be lowering decibels requirements to manufacturing companies.
