28 Seconds At A Rock Concert Could Damage Hearing?
. (Classic Rock) The World Health Organization has warned that 28 seconds at a rock concert could damage hearing - and recommended that people should use earphones for just an hour a day. WHO believe 1.1 billion people are at risk of suffering permanent ear problems through their listening habits - and that over 43 million people between the age of 12 and 35 are already living with hearing loss. The health body says in a report: "The emerging pattern of listening regularly at high volume and for a long duration poses a serious threat. While it is important to keep the volume down, limiting the use of personal audio devices to less than one hour a day would do much to reduce noise exposure." They also urge the public to limit device volumes to 60% full output, take listening breaks while in noisy venues like concert halls and pubs, and to use earplugs. Read more here.
