Hearing Considerations and iPod Earbuds

Most people who put on iPod Earbuds marvel at the quality of the sound and the crispness and yet few really realize that if you play your music too loud you can severely damage your ears even though the earbuds cannot be heard more than a few feet away. These systems are specially designed as not to bother those near you, which is good in a way because most of the music these kids listen too these days, well lets just say most of us do not consider it music at all; especially that RAP Music if you know what I mean?

As these little gadgets proliferate we may find more and more people in our society with ears, which cause problems later. The human ear is a masterpiece of design, but these little parts inside can severally be damaged if not used correctly. Just because the earbuds are small and the sounds faint to passers by does not mean that your ears are protected fully when you wear them.

It is the responsibility of each wearer and user to be very careful when using them. If not they may pay dearly later on and of course we know this could be a huge issue for the rest of society with hearing health care cost increasing affecting health care insurance premiums. Therefore may I be so bold as to recommend that you use these little devices wisely and not sacrifice your hearing along the way?
