CRAZY LOUD MUSIC

Okay kids, another warning from Grampa Curious... an audiology expert in Britain claims that listening to loud music on your iPod may leave you with the pychological condition of hearing music hallucinations. This might sound cool but the doctor assures us that the phenomena is quite distressing for those who suffer from it. According to Dr. Aziz, listening to music at high volume can cause tinnitus and inner ear damagewhich causes the brain to hear phantom music. The condition commonly occurs when people move from listening to their iPod on a subwayto a quiet office. With no more audio stimuli, the brain generates random impulses and interprets them as sound. It then matches the sounds to music which you know and then a song begins in your head. (Netscape News)
