EU warns on risk of MP3-induced deafness

Thumbnail image for Thumbnail image for dali lama.jpgThe EU has decided to take action and warn young people, AKA tha kidz, that the personal music players that they are so often glued into could be damaging their ears. Yeah, possibly even more damaging than all those piercings and popular music concerts.

The EU had some science done, which worked out that about 10 per cent of music player users risk permanent hearing loss if they use the device for more than one hour per day a week for at least five years. We want to know what MP3 player they are using, it has one hell of a battery life.

Meanwhile what will it mean in-house at the EU? By the looks of the picture above, even some of our most favourite leaders are often to be found mashing it up in a large pair of cans. Respect.
