Should we be allowed to deafen ourselves?


With the news that the EU has identified a risk of hearing loss to anyone listening to in-ear music over a volume of 89db, we must consider the way we consume music.

Do you listen to music on the tube? Or walking down a crowded high street? Chances are that if you do, you're whacking the volume up on your MP3 player or mobile phone to levels above what is considered safe to compete with the background noise...Source

I think we should be allowed, but I'm always very careful with my iPod volume. I have friends who are honestly totally deaf because of listening to music too loud.
