“…Various studies have found that exposure to music at a high intensity is likely to be associated with several hearing symptoms, such as TTS, tinnitus, hyperacusis, recruitment, distortion or abnormal pitch perception,eventually resulting in permanent hearing loss (Zhao et al, 2010, Rice et al, 1987, Meyer-Bisch, 1996, Petrescu, 2008, Figueiredo et al, 2011.…”

“…The problem can also cause extra-auditive damage, such as sleep disorders, cardiovascular disorders, stress, fatigue, tension, irritability, inattention, tiredness, nervousness, headache, and arterial hypertension 7,8 . According to the American Speech Language Hearing Association (ASHA), 61% of American teenagers have personal stereos 9,10 , while 51% of students in American high schools have symptoms of hearing loss. An interesting part of that study was the fact that most students prefer high volumes, as adults tend to use more moderate volumes.…”

Objectives:To analyze the habits and behavior of adolescents exposed to amplified music with headphones and its implications on their hearing health. Methods: One hundred thirty-one high school students, aged 15 to 18 years were given a questionnaire containing closed questions regarding their habits and behavior related to personal stereos use. It is a descriptive cross-sectional study and used the Chi-square test. Results: It was shown that 79% of young people make use of portable music devices, 61.83% have a habit of using them often, 34.35% have long periods of exposure, and 37.40% use them at high volume. In terms of symptoms, present were: difficulty concentrating 63.36%; the need to ask people to repeat what was said 64.12%; the need to increase the TV volume 43.51%; tinnitus 38.93%, excitability 38.93%; and 36.64% of teens say they are somewhat worried about losing their hearing through the use of personal stereos. For the preventive aspects, 90.84% believe that noise is part of society, 80.92% find it important to reduce noise pollution, 51.91% would like to know the influence of the noise/pollution, but 74.81% would not like to participate in projects with questions about hearing health. Conclusion: The youths in this study are making indiscriminate use of personal stereos with headphones, within a population at risk for hearing loss considering its habits. Hearing Health Promotion Programs are recommended for this population.

“…A number of papers published recently estimated the risk of hearing loss due to the use of PMPs, as well as the actual incidence of hearing loss and tinnitus in the exposed populations. The studies were carried out in German, American, Italian, Dutch, Slovenian, Brazilian, and Malaysian teenagers and young adults [14,15,16,17,18,8,19].…”

Abstract. The aim of the study is to evaluate the adverse effects of community noise on health and the response to noise exposure in residential areas of Bratislava. The study quantifies the exposure to different environmental noise sources as well as the social noise exposure in the sample of university students. The validated methodology according to ICBEN and the Ohrkan study was used. The measurement of ambient noise levels was done using hand-held sound level analyzer. There were 837 university students (256 males), average age 23.09 ± 2.23, enrolled into the study so far; 267 in the housing facility exposed to road traffic noise (LAeq = 67.6 dB) and 570 in the control one (LAeq = 53.4 dB). From the total sample 79.2% students reported the use of personal music players (PMP) in the last week in the average time of 293 minutes. There was a significant difference between the duration and frequency of listening to PMP between the exposed and the control group. There was not significant difference between the duration of time spent at activities with high noise exposure. The results of the study showed the importance of road traffic noise and the social noise for health as well and the need for a preventive action.
