Study: More Than 1 Billion Young People at Risk of Hearing Loss

A new study shows that up to one billion young people could be at risk of losing their hearing. Younger people routinely listened in excess of their recommended 85 decibels per week, getting as high as 105 decibels on their personal devices, 112 decibels and entertainment venues. The study, published this week, analyzed 33 different studies, concluding that high volume exposure while young could increase chances of developing age related hearing loss later in life.
