Controversy over ear phones affecting our health

There has much controversy in the recent days over the issue of ear phones affecting the health of its users..

If it is to be believed that they really affect health then surely most of the people will opt not to use ear phones but currently as it is still being dealed as a minor issue and it has not been proven one cares about it.

Canadian Academy of Audiology recently suggested a way to insert ear phones in such a way that it does not affect the health ..

But once if it is proved then it will be very big loss to companies dealing with ear phones like mp3 players , cell phones etc.

It has been one of practical experience a few days ago where in i got my ear infected ..
As far as i know the reason behind it was a few of my friends use my ear phones and to my utter realisation it was one of my freinds who was suffering from ear infection which led a members of my group with the same infection ....
Believe it or not but it has happened!!!!!!

Even the frenquecies produced by these devices is very harmful and will surely lead to loss of hearing if both the volume and the frequncy are very high..


So untill it is being proved that using ear phones is not harmful plz use dont use them regularly..

Take care
