These could be the shocking consequences, noted by the EU in 2008, of the teenage time-bomb we face if not prevented with the present generation who are unaware of the danger.
With a fresh approach aimed at teenagers aged 13 to 18, the Noise Abatement Society is raising awareness about the danger of permanent hearing loss due to continuous exposure to loud music in the ears from MP3 players.
Through the Love Your Ears campaign, we visit schools with an interactive display to help students experience for themselves how loud they are listening to their MP3 players.
We are also developing lessons about hearing health, how the ear works and a personal development module to help teenagers understand the effects they have on others when they listen to MP3 players at high volumes.
Further underpinning this ‘teenage timebomb’, Deafness Research UK states that “a third of people under the age of 35 have experienced ringing in the ears, a sign of hearing damage, after listening to loud music”.
Just like sea waves battering a coast, sound waves produced by MP3 players batter the eardrums causing permanent irreversible damage especially over a prolonged period.
We're urging teenagers to Love Your Ears now.
