Youth of Today Risk Going Deaf

This has been pretty heavily reported over the last week but I though the fact that it presented a good argument against those horrible ipod things and a fine health promotion message for young people warranted an inclusion here.

“Today's youth are at risk of going deaf up to 30 years earlier than their parents because they are listening to MP3 players too loudly and too often - according to a new survey carried out to mark the launch of a partnership between Specsavers Hearcare and Deafness Research UK .”
