Interesting Facts

According to an EU study, if you listen to music at high volume for more than one hour a day over five years risk permanent harm to your hearing. (Seemingly one in 10 people with a personal MP3 or CD player could suffer permanent hearing loss because they play their music too loud.)

Joggers who listen to MP3 players could be at risk from lightning strikes. (Several cases of people suffering burns and hearing loss after being struck by lightning while wearing personal stereos have been recorded. Whilst the device isn't thought to attract the lightning, they can help to channel the current. Maybe people should wear good old fashioned rubber soled shoes.)
