Would it cause permanent hearing loss? Would it cause hearing loss significant enough for you to notice it? I'm doing a report on ipods and hearing loss in teens but I can't seem to find any data on hearing loss per hour. Please Help! I only listen to my ipod about 1/5 the volume and not for long periods of time, will I experience hearing loss?

Full volume for an hour. If you are used to say"what"ever time someone says one thing after u listen to it like that you will be sayin"what..huh..speak up"the effect will be permanent I'd say if you listen to it like that every day a yell in ur ear will sound like a whisper...u no u are perfect

Well, personally, I have experienced a bit of hearing loss after listening to loud stuff...well, kind of experienced.In the past...well, not that far back, about half a year ago, I used to watch television and blast the volume(Nah, I didn't disturb the neighbors). Though it is kinda nice to do so as you block out all surrounding noise, I realised that when speaking to my friends, I could not hear them as clearly as I used to and they begun to make jokes such as"Hey dude, you gotta get a hearing aid!"Anyway, I do think that you'll suffer from significant hearing loss if you listen to you iPod at too loud volumes but I doubt if it would result in permanent hearing loss. You might experience a kind of high pitched ringing noise after listening to extremely loud music and depending on the loudness and how long you've been listening to, the time that your hearing will return differs.Hope this helps, maybe you could take my"story"into your report!
