More than 90 mins plugged-in music harmful

Turn the volume down when you listen to music.

A new study has found that “[l]istening to loud music [at 80 percent of maximum volume] with earphones on a digital music player for more than 90 minutes a day can damage your hearing….The study also found no problems for people who listened to music at 10 percent to 50 percent of maximum volume for extended periods. It found, however, that anyone who listened at 100 percent for more than five minutes faced the risk of hearing loss.”
