The Mayo Clinic Says MP3 Players Pose a Hearing Loss
Pete Townshend isn't the only person that thinks that iPods and other portable media players can cause hearing damage. According to the Mayo Clinic, portable music devices put your hearing at risk. "With the older devices, like the Walkman, if you turned them up all the way, they sounded very bad, so people didn't do it. Now, they don't sound bad at maximum volume, and that could pose a problem," says Jodi Cook, Ph.D., director of the hearing aid program at Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minn.
