Association recommends lowering the volume

Rehab Regs, January 11, 2008

The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) is spreading the word of volume-safety and noice-induced hearing loss at this year's Consumer Electronic Show in Las Vegas, according to an ASHA press release. AHSA is urging consumers to use electronic device, such as MP3 players, at safe listening levels. Loud volumes increase the risk of hearing loss, which can be permanent.

"Sales figures from the holidays underscore the popularity of MP3 players and similar devices," ASHA President Catherine Gottfred says. "If the technology is misused for too long, over time, noise induced hearing loss can result."
