Noise-Induced Hearing Loss is a condition where too much exposure to loud noises can affect your hearing. Studies have shown that 12.5% (approximately 5.2 million) of children and adolescents between the ages of 6-19 have suffered permanent damage to their hearing. MP3 players/iPods, concerts, video games, movie theaters, television sets, radio, etc can make a person's environment too noisy, but this does not mean that you need to cut these things out of your life. Instead be alert and be able to notice when something is too loud.
