i Pods a big question mark
Hi everyone it's Heather DeMarco at the Untapped Wealth business desk.
This morning I'd like to address a growing concern over those very noisy i Pods that seem to be causing lots of concern among our American teenagers these days. According to a recently published report about 69% of our teenagers in America are complaining about hearing problems and one of the biggest offender seems to be those very noisy i Pods that so many of our teenagers are using these days. They turn up their i Pods to unbearable levels and I fail to understand how their poor ears can stand this assault without protesting. I myself have teenaged kids and I am constantly having to scold them about those ear phones in their ears that blast out the music of so loudly. Of course there are the Walkmans, Discmans, MP3 players, and anything else that they can get to stick into their ears.
What our teenagers don't understand or realize is that all of this is very harmful to their hearing and sooner rather than later they are going to find themselves seeking treatment for loss of hearing and in many cases many of them would probably be looking at becoming permanently deaf if they don't do something about it today rather than tomorrow.
I believe that the manufacturers of i Pods, MP3 players, Discmans, and Walkmans should also step up to the plate and start building safety mechanisms into their products so as to prevent these youngsters from setting the levels of sounds past an acceptable level. In fact, I'll go one step further and say that it is their responsibility to help our nation avoid a situation of having or creating a generation of hard of hearing persons. Parents should also start to do their part by helping their teenagers to understand or learn more about the consequences of becoming deaf or hard of hearing. For it is really not very pleasant to lose your hearing. It is devastating, heart breaking, and so unnecessary. Time for us to treasure our sense of hearing a bit more and take care of it.
Let me now offer my congratulations to Jeff Marquis and Kerry Harrison on the recent publication of the second edition of their book "Untapped Wealth Discovered" which was released last week. The first edition was released last September 2005 and has already sold over 50,000 copies and we are expecting even bigger things for the second edition.
