Press Release Service – Wired PR News – Many parents are reportedly worried that music players and other devices that warrant their children plugging listening devices into their ears will have damaging effects on their hearing. As reported by HealthDay News, a recent survey revealed that fear of hearing loss is high on the list of worries many parents have for their children today.
Dr. David Tunkel, with Johns Hopkins Children’s Center in Baltimore, is quoted in the report as stating of a basis for many parental fears, “We certainly are seeing more and more children who seem to have acquired hearing loss.”
