I am not sure if you heard about the dangers of listening to mp3 players and the like for long periods of time. It’s been featured on the news lately. If you are thinking about giving one of these devices as a present for Christmas this year or if you already own one of these devices then you need to read this. Even if you don’t own one, but know someone that does then be sure to pass along this post.
It is said that if you listen to one of these devices for long periods of time, or pump up the volume you can actually lose your hearing. You can lose your hearing over time and if you do begin to lose your hearing they say that this cannot be reversed.
Phonak the largest hearing device and hearing aid company in the world
Invented a new set of sound isolating ear buds – called Audéo Perfect Fit Earphones (PFE).
The Audéo earphones recently received high marks from a reviewer from Scholastic for the product’s quality and sound safety levels for children: http://blogs.scholastic.com/techtools/2008/11/listen-to-this.html.

I actually own a set of these earphones and I am very impressed with the sound quality and the way they fit in my ears. I actually bought some mp3 players for my kids for Christmas and I am going to let them use the earphones as well.
What is great about these earphones is that Audéo provides comfort and excellent sound quality without sacrificing the health of your ears, allowing customers better control of listening levels by isolating the sound.

Did you know that the European Union issued a warning to its citizens regarding the potential risk of hearing loss associated with unsafe listening levels of mp3 players. A study conducted by EU scientists suggests that between 2.5 million and 10 millions Europeans could be at risk. The study has implications in the U.S. as millions of Americans are not aware of the dangers of listening to levels over 89 decibels.

It’s something that everyone should be aware of and this is what, Audeo is trying to do with their earphones. If you are concerned about your hearing or someone you know you can get a free online hearing test at http://www.hear-the-world.com
