Experts urge new iPod ear studies

Gimme a break! If you play any noise too loudly, regardless of content or source, you'll get hearing damage. Just ask Pete Townsend. We don't need more governmental studies and panels, users need to turn down the volume. It's usually a little knob on the device ...

Health experts call for more research into whether iPods and other music players can damage hearing.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
