BRUSSELS (Reuters) – Millions of youngsters across Europe may have chances to experience whole or partial hearing loss after five years, if they keep on listening to MP3 players, at too high volume for more than five hours a week, European scientists warned.
The scientists’ study, attacked the concept of “leisure noise,” saying children and teenagers should be protected from high volume of sound and loud mobile phones are next target of criticism.
“There has been increasing concern about exposure from the new generation of personal music players which can reproduce sounds at very high volumes without loss of quality,” the Commission, the EU’s executive arm, said in a statement.
