Have you thought about those teenagers who listen to loud music all the time might suffer milder hearing loss? On the car, they might turn up the stereo as loud as they can, I don't know why, maybe that is what everybody is doing, and they felt it so cool.
At home or going out with family, they always wearing those iPod headset, and they might turn the music loud again. Even you trying to talk to them, they might not hear you. With all of these, and a long duration of time, they might have a hearing loss symptom. That's one suggestion. Should we allow them to continue a lifestyle like this?

You know, that is a possibility. There are a lot of teens that I see these days, that have headphones on and I can hear the music through them. Which kind of negates the purpose of headphones, so you can hear the music, but others around you cannot. You can only imagine how loud the music has to be for others around you to hear it despite the headphones.
Of course, there are other hearing hazards. I have lived by an airport most of my life. I hear loud planes take off every day. I mean loud. That cannot be healthy on the ears. However, loud music can be bad. Especially when its loud music in headphones right on your ears or in a shut up car even. At least out in the open, there is some filtering, but if these closed spaces, loud music cannot be all that healthy.

Loud blaring music can cause hearing loss.Even if it doesn't cause hearing loss it results in our inability to hear low sounds.As long as they don't cause nuisance they can listen on their i pods,but if they raise the volume of their stereo sets they cause nuisance to neighborhood.We can't infringe on their personal lifestyle as they have the right to lead their own life though it harms them in the long run.
