There are plenty of rumors going around right now that electronic gadgets like your mobile phone and your trusty iPod actually could leave you deaf because the sound waves and the high volume that reaches your ear damages the nerves that allows you to hear well.
However, it does look like things are looking up and such heresay may actually not be true. You see, scientists and experts in the medical field are working out ways so as to help out people have better hearing even when their ears are already quite damaged. These experts are developing some kind of technology wherein stem cells and electrical pulses from your iPod could help heal the damaged nerves.
Of course, this is going to be good news. And when you have thought that you would have to set aside your iPod Shuffle along with your iPod Shuffle accessories for something that would have a lesser effect on your ears, the times have changed. And it looks like your enemy would then become your bestfriend.
So how would this go about The American Association for the Advancement of Science held a conference and one of the things that were discussed were the inception of a new kind of technology that would assist people with hearing problems. They have been discussing combining two processes to help heal those hearing wounds. There would be stem cell transplants done first so as to give new life to those ailing ear parts. However, after that, technology would then be used so as to recharge those new cells. The patients would then be using an amplifier in the ear and this is where your mobile electric gadgets come in.
On this, Richard Schmiedt, a professor of otolaryngology at the Medical University of South Carolina, has got something important to share for he does believe in such a kind of medicine to the ailing ears. He did mention, We have a good chance of getting normal hearing back in normal ears. And that is certainly good enough for most having problems with their hearing.
These experts do believe that when stem cells are put in the ears and replacing the damaged hair cells, people can actually regain their hearing back. However, such a kind of technique need to be backed up by a shock of electricity from our gadgets so as to restore the hearing capacity of the patient. Of course, there had been research and studies done so as to check if such claims are valid and true. In fact, Stefan Heller, a professor at Stanford University, did say that he did some studies in mice and within five years, results have been developed and progressed that the technique was a success.
On the other hand, people are trying to find out if this would be successful for human use. After all, mice are mice and people may not react the way the mice have done with the experiment. On this, Heller does explain, What we do with the battery-jumping is actually put the current right next to the inner hair cells and outer hair cells. It's very invasive and dangerous to the other hair cells. He also did continue that the process of putting in the new cells can be quite dangerous and be crucial to the whole deal.

Modern Audiobooks Can Be Played In Your Ipod
If you are bored, you can pull out a book from the shelf and flip its pages. Through technology, audiobooks were invented. It started with cassette tapes. With the boom of the CD industry, audiobooks were also produced in that format. Similarly enough, because of the Ipod trend, audible audiobooks can be downloaded and purchased from the iTunes Music store, as well as First-Class-Audiobiiks.
If you have nothing better to do as you wait for your turn in that long queue or you want to be productive while you are riding the subway, bring out your iPod and listen to your audible audiobook. These work best with the iPod 1.2 software or with the later models.
Originally invented as the modern WalkMan or discman, iPod listeners have discovered a pleasure of having the gadget. They can listen to their audiobooks while they are on their way to work or during their exercise regimen.
iPod is compatible with Audible formats 2 which is the small file size but of maximum compression, Audible format 3 which is the best quality compression and Audible format 4 which is aa format that is compressed into larger mp3. iPod 1.2 software and the later models are compatible with the Audible files bookmark feature.
The Bookmark feature makes it easier for the consumer to remember where specifically he stopped listening to the audiobook. It is like a bookmark that you insert between the pages of the book you are reading. Bookmarks are compatible with the Audible files (those that have the .aa file extension) and Audiobooks that have been bought from the iTunes Music Store. These are the ones that come with the .mb4 file extension.
If reading a book means you only have to insert the bookmark between within the page that you stopped reading, bookmarking an audible file in your iPod entails the following procedures.
Press the Stop of Pause button while you are listening to your audiobook on your iPod. The iPod will serve as your bookmark because it will remember that specific spot automatically so the next time that you listen to your audiobook on your iPod, you will be able to listen to that very bookmarked spot because it will immediately play from there.
Did you know that if you buy your audiobooks on CD format, you can actually transfer them into iTune format by importing it into iTunes. In doing so, you can listen to your CD audiobooks on your iPod. But it will be easier, if you get your audiobooks from Audible.com or the iTunes Mustic Store. These audiobooks are manufactured as one or two files. Their total duration averages to ten hours each. This makes it easier for the purchaser to manage and to listen to his iTunes Library.
Audiobooks are pretty expensive. Can you believe that they are even pricier than the paper books you get at your book stores At least with First-Class-Audiobooks, the iPod audiobook listener is provided with the audiobook content, you own the file. This is also the same with the iTunes Music Store.
The difference between Audible.com and iTunes Music Store is that the former has a broader selection of audiobooks but it does come with a monthly subscription fee. If you want only one audiobook, then you can just check out the latter because it is much cheaper.
If you are the type of iPod listener who does not really tune in to audiobooks regularly, then you can just buy the individual audiobooks from either the iTunes Music Store or Audible. You can check out the selection of audiobooks that are available by going to the main page. It is so easy to buy an audiobook. It is like buying a song but the download will be longer. Naturally! What do you expect from a 14MB file.
After purchasing audiobooks from Audible.com or iTunes Music Store, these are added to your library automatically. Organize them in whichever way you prefer. Audiobooks is indeed another purpose of having an iPod. You can be entertained not just by music but also by the spoken words from literary creations.

Important Things to Know about Ipods
Its one thing to find creepy people on a subway, but its another to have that creepy person mug someone for their iPod. Because iPods are so popular (and become more so with new models like the video iPod or the iPod nano) they are more likely to get stolen by a mugger. Someone may want a free iPod, and rather than buying one, or looking online for a free iPod, they take someone elses iPod.
Because it is so common, some major cities have published a version of guidelines for people to protect themselves and their ipods. Many of these flyers share statistics of the amount of ipods that are stolen. According to one statistic from San Francisco, only 15 robberies were reported, but 11% of those were ipods). Many people suggest using regular headphones rather than the white pieces so that it becomes less obvious. Anyone that is smart with their iPod and knows how to conceal it will most likely keep their iPod, and the muggers will not get a free iPod very easily.
Concealing an iPod is easy, but learning how to use a new iPod can be frustrating. One of the biggest issues facing new iPod owners is the stacks of music that remain unripped and an unrealistic expectation that go along with the loading process. But owning an iPod should not be a burden. Any iPod owner can have access to thousands of songs on their iPod nano, if they give themselves plenty of time to load the songs. An entire library of music does not need to be loaded at one time. It is possible to load music onto the new iPod in increments. Allowing the iTunes collection to grow makes for better selection when loading the iPod. Also, an incomplete library doesn't mean failure. An entire CD collection does not have to be ripped in order to enjoy an iPod. Remember that can only a single song can be listened to at any one time time.
Don't feel tied to older music. People grow and change. The CDs from a decade or two ago might help connect to the past but if musical tastes have changed over time, allow new tracks in the library without feeling obligated to the older collection. No one will be checking in to make sure all those 80's and 90's CDs got digitized.
One of the great things about iTunes is that new music can be tested without commitment. It is possible to listen to the free 30-second samples and check out new play lists. And don't forget that every Tuesday, iTunes offers free tracks that might lead to new artists and styles to enjoy on the iPod. If a CD collection is just too much of a burden to face, enjoy any number of free pod casts on the new iPod and if possible, own a 5G or newer unit to watch TV and movies as well. The iPod does not begin or end with music. iPods shouldn't remain wrapped and unused on a coffee table.
Does the Lifepop Stereo Pet Carrier really steal the spotlight Chances are it probably does not steal the show more than the pup itself, but it's a pretty cool iPod-compatible accessory. It can be used to carry around the pooch as he or she rocks out to iPod music, or whimpers in abject misery while listening to youre the old music collection on the iPod. It's basically a soft padded bag with built-in speakers and a mini-plug to hook into the iPod. There's a fully zippered ventilated top so Fido will be able to breathe while grooving.

How to Copy Music OFF your iPod
So, you've got music on your iPod that you don't have on your computer
It doesn't matter how you got in this predicament -- maybe you've lost a hard drive (or an entire computer), or you've accidently deleted just a little too much, and for one reason or another, you don't have the original source of the music.
If any of that sounds familiar, the time to fix it is now -- before you lose your iPod (and your music), or iTunes manages to get set to automatically sync your entire library (its default state, if you have to re-install it) and starts deleting all of the songs it doesn't know about.
Unfortunately, the standard tool for transferring music between your iPod and your computer (iTunes) is one-way -- it'll put music (or videos, etc.) onto your iPod, but it won't retrieve it back. Why Uncle Steve wants it that way, I suppose.
Getting music off of your iPod -- the Windows Down & Dirty Method
Unusually enough, this is one place Windows users have an advantage over Mac users. If you have a Windows formatted iPod, Windows actually treats it as a removable drive, and you can go in and copy the files off if you know where to look.
Here's how:
1. Connect your iPod -- =Warning!= if iTunes loads when you plug in your iPod, and is set to automatically sync your entire library (erasing your iPod), you MUST stop it -- hit the little "X" in the upper right hand corner of the window.
2. Open your iPod -- It should show up on "My Computer" as a "Mobile Device"; right click and choose "Explore". Alternatively, go to the Control Panel, Portable Media Devices, and double-click your iPod.
3. Unhide the files -- By default, Windows hides hidden files and folders (thus the name). Go to Options (in the Tools menu), and on the View tab, check "Show Hidden Files and Folders".
4. Find the Music -- The music is stored (in current iPods) in the directory "\\iPod_Control\\Music". This may have a lot of odd looking stuff in it -- it doesn't matter; select everything and drag and drop them to a folder on your hard drive.
5. Configure iTunes -- Go into iTunes Preferences, and under the Advanced tab, check "Keep iTunes Music Folder Organized" and "Copy files to iTunes Music Folder when adding to the library" (settings move around a bit between versions of iTunes, but these settings will be there somewhere).
6. Add Your Files -- In iTunes, select File, Add Folder to Library, and select the folder where you copied the files from your iPod. Alternatively, just drag and drop this folder onto iTunes
Once you've done that, iTunes should sort out the files from the iPod folder structure, put the artist and album information back from the ID3 tags in the music files, and reorganize the whole thing in the iTunes library folder.
The one caveat with this is that what you won't get back is any "metadata" that isn't stored in the files themselves, such as ratings, play counts, last played and modified information, etc.
It's also very difficult to select individual files or groups of files doing this, as it's not terribly obvious which file is which just looking at them in the way the iPod stores them.
Last but not least, I've never seen (nor read about) this trick being tried with any of the "new" iTunes data types, such as pictures, video, games, etc., so I don't know how well it would work to retrieve that information, nor whether this will retrieve purchases from iTunes Music Store intact.
