If you, too, can not walk down the street without your headphones ("Y" generation?), This should interest you.

WHO has published a new report concerning the number of youth who may lose hearing because of personal music players and exposure to excessively loud sounds in sporting events and nightclubs.
It must be said that for most of us (youth), it has become difficult to live without our smartphones and our headphones. Yet according to the study conducted by WHO in countries with high average incomes and revenues, 50% of young adults and adolescents 12 to 35 years are exposed to unsafe sound levels because of the headphones (or more precisely because of personal music players) and 40% are exposed to potentially dangerous volumes during the events. In total there will be 1.1 billion and youth and teens who are at risk.
But what is the limit not to be crossed in order not to expose themselves to the risks outlined above? According to the WHO, to stay in the safe practice of listening to music, do not expose such a volume of more than 85 decibels for more than eight hours or volume of more than 100 decibels for more than 15 minutes.
But in the absence of measuring instruments, you can at least take into account the safety warnings, for example when you want to set the volume of your headphones bottom on some smartphones.
