Cranking the Volume on Your iPod or MP3 Player Can Damage Hearing by Lee Blue

Kids have always loved listening to their favorite music, and the louder the better – much to their parents’ dismay. In the 1980s, the portable tape recorder with headphones – which came to be known as the “Walkman” – enabled teenagers to listen to their music as loud as they wanted, anywhere they wanted, without disturbing anyone around them.

But the more modern rendition of the Walkman – portable MP3 Players and iPods – pose a major threat to our children’s hearing health, and to ours.

The problem is a combination of the technology of portable digital devices that creates a non-buffered crystal clear sound, and the type of headphones typically used with them, which do not have a buffer either. In December 2005, Dean Garstecki, an audiologist and professor at Northwestern University reported that more and more young people were being diagnosed with the types of hearing loss typically found in older adults. He attributed this trend to the “earbud” type headphones that usually accompany iPod and MP3 Players.

With the earbud headphones, the sound frequencies are not buffered as they are with the more traditional, ear cup-style headsets. Newsweek Magazine recently reported that researchers at the House Ear Institute found that listeners can unfortunately increase the volume of today’s portable digital devices without the “signal distortion that occurs with traditional analog audio.” The older-model headphones that were popular just 15 to 20 years ago – that have ear cups outside of the ears – had that distortion when the volume was turned up, which functioned as a much-needed buffer to protect our hearing. Today’s technology does not provide that buffer – the earpiece is placed in the ear, not outside of it, and the digital devices do not create that distortion, no matter how high the volume.

In addition, people often listen to these devices while they are on the go, and have a tendency to crank the volume in an attempt to drown outside noise, further posing a risk to our hearing. Using the earbud style headphones during activities such as exercise, for example, puts the user at a greater risk. During exercise, blood, which can act as a buffer, is diverted from the ears to other parts of the body – so our already vulnerable hearing is in even more jeopardy.

Headwize reports that a study conducted on music listeners using headphones revealed that while indoors with no background noise, the participants were comfortable with their music at 69 decibels. Outdoors, where the background noise was recorded at 65 decibels, participants using their headphones turned the volume up to 82 decibels and as high as 95 decibels to drown out the surrounding noise. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration guidelines limit exposure to noise at this level to no more than four hours each day. The study concluded that the participants were at risk for hearing damage and recommended “avoiding continuous use of [portable stereos] in noisy conditions.”

Northwestern University’s Dean Garstecki offers more specific guidelines: His 60 percent/60 minute rule – listen to MP3 Players and iPods for “about an hour a day and at levels below 60 percent of maximum volume.” The problem is, most of the population using headphones – young music fans – listen to their music for much longer than one hour per day. But, you can help minimize hearing loss, damage and problems while listening to your favorite music as long as you want to – the secret is in the headphones.

Headphones such as the EX29 Extreme Isolation Noise Reduction Headphones help block out external noise allowing you to hear the fine details of your music without blowing out your ear drums. The ear cup fits over the ear, and not in it, and the headphones are lightweight, don’t require batteries and can be used with your MP3 Player or iPod. With 29 decibels of isolation from outside sound, the quiet headphones block outside noise and there is no need to crank the volume of your music.

Aging rock stars like the Who’s Pete Townsend, who has some permanent hearing loss from years of exposure to loud music, and Mick Fleetwood, who has teamed up with Energizer batteries to promote hearing loss prevention, have brought public attention to the fact that many of us take our hearing for granted. But there’s no need to turn off your music – just be smarter about how you listen to it. If you are using your MP3 Player or iPod when you’re exercising, in a noisy environment or you just want to hear the fine details of your music, ditch the earbud headphones and reach for a set of noise reduction ones instead. And you’ll be enjoying your favorite music for a long time to come.

How Do I Download Music to My Mp3 Player?

Well it all depends on what you want to do. Do you want to take the music from a cd and put it on your Mp3 player, or do want to directly download music tracks from the internet on to your Mp3 player. If you want to get music from a cd onto your Mp3 player, you will first need copy your cd with windows media player or another cd playing software. You will need to change the format into “Mp3″ format by “ripping” it. “Ripping” a CD is basically copying music to your computer.  

After you have the files properly formatted on your hard drive, you can remove the drive from your mp3 player and plug it into a “usb” port on your computer. You then go to your hard drive, find the files you copied, making sure they are in the proper format,and then move them to the drive of your Mp3 player.

OK lets say you want to download music directly from the internet. You need to see if any special software is required to assist in the downloading process. Normally you wont need any. You just hook up your device to a “usb” port, go to your settings and look for “usb mode” or connect. With some devices you wont need to do anything, because they will automatically be detected as a removable hard drive.

Next you will need to find out where the files will be stored. Depending on which music download vendor you choose, some will allow you to buy one track at a time, if this is the case you can download one track and see where on your device the file was stored, and then proceed to buy further tracks and choose the same location to store them. If not, the files can be stored in different locations and the device will find them once you disconnect from the port.

Downloading music to your Mp3 player is easy and fun. Depending upon the capacity of your Mp3 players hard drive or flash drive you can store hundreds of music tracks, giving you hours of listening pleasure. Once you download music for the first time you will find out how easy it is. You can visit my web site,  and choose from a variety of the top music download vendors, many offering free music.

Free MP3 Downloads and The Curbing of Touring Bands

You know what I mean by all of this. Sit and think about it for a moment: you sat on the couch up late one night, watching E! or a similar channel, and wondering how it was that bands with such huge cult followings have all seemed to disappear. (You were watching that documentary on the Grateful Dead-weren’t you?)

Or maybe you’re in the boat with those who still do follow some band or other-but we’ll talk about you in a moment. See, free mp3 downloads have changed the cult approach to bands and how much people follow them.

Think about how expensive it is for bands to tour without a major label and the entire weight of the music business machine footing the bill. Let’s think about how that reflects in everything else: how expensive have concert tickets become for consumers? It’s kind of ridiculous, all made so by free mp3 downloads. It’s especially ridiculous in the concert scene when you realize you can get most of the highlights on YouTube for next to nothing. Gone are the days of arriving to the show days early to park your VW bus, camp out, hook up and tune out. Arrived are the days of downloading everything fast and furiously, free mp3 downloads blotting out every other option.

Let’s talk specifics. For bands like Phish, Grateful Dead, Blues Traveler, and others, the Internet doesn’t make in-person attendance a requirement to be part of the scene. Blogs and RSS feeds let people climb right on the bandwagon without anybody standing on top to toss of the freeloaders. As a result, there is less of a communal vibe in general because of these artificial and virtual communities. Newer music fans aren’t as concerned about virtuoso music performances-they don’t care if musicians even actually PLAY instruments at all-and, in fact, parody is fine, too.

Free mp3 downloads and other new technology have brought a lot of this about. Let’s take, for example, the fact that anybody with a webcam and a Casio can be an Internet rock star-I’m thinking of that band (maybe called GO! . . . ?) who made that video that had all of the band members singing the song on treadmills doing a hilarious routine (all extremely well-executed), choreographed by the lead singer’s sister. The lead singer’s sister! Not even a band member-but she was like captain of her high school drill team or something. Next thing you knew, they were on the Daily Show and the Colbert Report. Now, granted, it was actually a really cute song and the video did basically rock-but it was the visuals that literally sold the band.

So free mp3 downloads and the rest of the Internet have completely changed the face of what it means to follow a band or to be a music junkie, but there still are those diehards out there who go to the concerts, buy the t-shirts, get up to mischief in trailers and behind concert halls and on the hills overlooking the venue and everything else-they just aren’t too common. In fact, it seems more and more that the ones who are the hard-core followers of a given group aren’t the ones who are old enough to be involved in the whole music traveler scene anyway. Why?
