 TEENAGERS:
Often parents of teenagers will be concerned about hearing loss and tinnitus prevention, specifically regarding the use of MP3, IPOD, NANO and other earworn music listening devices. These devices could actually induce a permanent hearing loss and/or a tinnitus if listened to for extensive periods of time at high volume.
Another source of injury for young ears can be the dance floor. Unfortunately, we do see some older teenagers and young adults who complain of tinnitus after going to a discotheque, a club or a school dance where the volume of the music was very loud. Often, by the time they consult with us, the damage to their hearing is permanent and the prevention which can be offered is only to preclude further deterioration.
