Crank it up?

I like loud music and apparently the current crop of kids also likes loud music. A new study--which studies two studies--found that the number of kids suffering from hearing loss has jumped 30%. Kids we interviewed said they listen to their music at the highest volume possible and with those little ear-buds it can get pretty loud. One girl said she listens to her MP3 player for up to ten hours a day and by the time she unplugs--her ears are ringing.

A doctor told us today that temporary ringing is a signal to back off the volume.

One kid told me he's not concerned about hearing loss because he's confident technology will cure his problem when he gets older.

He's 16-years old and already has a hard time hearing--for his sake--I hope he's right.
