iPods May Pose Health Risk
August 17, 2005
 According to researchers at Sydney's National Acoustic Laboratories, one out of four iPod users is damaging their ears by blasting audio at unsafe levels.
The researchers found that about 25% of those surveyed listened to their players at volumes similar to small power tools. The team predicts increased levels of tinnitus as a result.
Lab director Professor Harvey Dillon suggests "People either need to turn them down or not listen for as long."
