Say What?!

I think that if you listen to your music on an ipod in moderation, not for an outragous amount of time and not at an outragous volume then it should be fine.  As the article stated, "Music fans who insist on listening to iPods at 100 percent volume through ear buds — those in-ear speakers — should do it for only five minutes at a time, Kaplan said. At 80 percent volume, they can go an hour, Kaplan recommends. At 70 percent to 79 percent, a few hours, and 69 percent and below, four to five hours."  So if you are reasonble (listening at 69-79 decibles) with your listening you should be fine! (:
