Listen to Music Without Hearing Loss
I know that it is cool to blast music and listen to it really loud. I mean there is a saying, "If it is too loud, you are too old." Rock bands have the decibel levels of a rocket engine. I think it might be time to rethink how we see listening to music because the loss of hearing in young people is staggering. Do you really want to be that thirty something and cannot hear a word your friends are saying? There should be mobile applications that can sense the loudness as well as the duration of music that is listened to using head phones. Fortunately, there are some things that you can try in the mean time. Get headphones that fit so that you do not have any ambient noise getting in that makes you turn up the sound. Also, if you are not listening to music, you should get earplugs if you are in a very loud environment. Lastly, get your hearing checked at least once to see where you stand and make sure you keep them healthy.

There are some mobile applications that will tell you if something is too loud but they are not allowed to lower the volume. You have to actually do that.
ReplyDeleteWith as far as software development has come, you would think we would be able to measure our ear health. There are already so many different sensors for our other parameters.
ReplyDeleteThere could be some software development in the field of being able to hear differently. Vibrations though bone might be a good example.
ReplyDeleteThe volume does not need to be adjusted on mobile applications and music. There are plenty of other things in our lives that can be too loud.
