MP3 players should carry warnings that users risk damage to their
hearing by having the volume too high, a deafness charity says.

A Royal National Institute for Deaf People poll of 10s of MP3 users at
one London station found eight out of 10 had machines at more than 80
decibels.
The charity says young people should be warned that they are risking
premature hearing damage.
It said there had been some interest in the idea from industry.

It  might make you deaf but at least while you are lost in the music
this hell called earth doesn't seem so bad.

Funny you would mention this, Tim!  I was thinking the same thing (not
the exact) words, while I was hiking and listening to my iPod
yesterday.

It does help.

But if it's too loud (directed to Lisa), you should turn it down.  I
believe I read something about Apple making a mechanism available for
free to keep your iPod music below a certain threshold.  Maybe you
could give that a try.

In the end, this has nothing to do with Alzheimers.
