Hearing loss from the player

In order to risk hearing loss, it is enough to wear headphones for more than 5 hours every day for 5 years - such a warning comes from the EU Scientific Committee on Emerging Health Risks ). The source of the sound, in the study, is the most common mp3 player or phone, in which the favorite melody plays at maximum volume.

It seems that the danger lurks beyond the threshold of 89 decibels, and there are about 10% lovers of such loudness out of the entire mass of owners of players, who, according to approximate calculations, in Europe alone are over 100 million. All this in aggregate promises a lot of problems with the ears in the coming years.

At the nearest international health conference in Brussels, representatives of the EU scientific committee are going to discuss the study in detail and draw some socially useful conclusions. And the result will be a set of technical solutions, standards and recommendations to the buyer of a new phone or portable player.
