MP3 users ‘risking hearing loss’

More than two-thirds of young people who regularly use MP3 players face premature hearing damage because the volume is too high, a charity warns.
The Royal National Institute for Deaf People said its findings were alarming, particularly with eight million MP3 players sold last year alone in the UK.
It accused manufacturers of failing to put clear and prominent warnings on packaging for consumers.
