Here's an interesting statement I hadn't ever considered:
"There is a difference between what we consider to be loud and what is physically intense and could be hazardous to the ear"
Seems pretty straight forward right?
According to a new study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, teen hearing loss is up from 15% of teens having some degree of hearing loss in the early 1990's to nearly 20% by the mid 2000's.
As much as our teens are listening to their electronics via their rockin' Skull Candy and as happy as I am not to be assaulted by that noise myself, perhaps they need a bit more guidance on the difference between what they consider loud and the noise level that actually creates hearing loss. I bet there is a pretty big disconnect between the two!
