OMG! Loud music causes hearing loss?!?!?!
 

Um. Duh?

Whoa - American iPods are louder? I see a great black market opportunity...

Whatever happened to personal responsibility? Apple shouldn't be blamed because people are too stupid to listen to their iPods at reasonable levels. It's common sense that listening to anything that is too loud will cause someone to lose hearing...

I'm very sure that I have had less hearing damage from my iPod than the people who drive so that I can recognize what song they are playing from inside the car with the windows rolled up when I am inside the house!

Lordy. Didn't the same thing happen when walkmen came out?

My cell phone told me that loud ring tones can damage my hearing when I told it to play the ringtones "loud." I told it I knew that, and sometimes I don't hear the phone ring. (Also, why on earth would the phone ring while I was holding it to my head?) I also always have the volume on its highest setting. It's not loud at all.

Thank you, Sony Ericsson, for protecting me.

And so smart of you to put a super-sensitive microphone so that my mother asks "what was that?!" every time I drive over a pebble in the car.

I think the root of this is the earbuds that are so popular now. I keep hearing warnings about them on news blips [Paul Moyer]Next at 11, in-ear headphones and your hearing. What you need to know[/PM]. Really? You mean blasting music in my ears is going to harm my hearing? You don't say! :rolleyes:

What ever happened to survival of the fittest?

Lawyers :rolleyes:

huh? what???? could you speak up????

Earbuds were popular 15 years ago.

There's no excuse for such silliness. People starting frivolous lawsuits deserve lashings and rotten tomatoes thrown at them.
