I will check those out. Thanks. "Studies have shown that people exposed to 85 decibels for eight hours tend to develop hearing loss," Brian Fligor, ScD, of Children's Hospital in Boston, tells WebMD. He found that all the CD players he examined produced sound levels well in excess of 85 decibels. "Every time you increase a sound level by three decibels, listening for half as long will produce the same amount of hearing loss. The kid who cuts my grass uses an iPod. The lawn mower noise is about 80 to 85 decibels. If he likes listening to his iPod 20 decibels above that, he's in the range of 100-105 decibels. At that sound level he shouldn't listen for more than eight to 15 minutes." I might be in trouble. -- Mike Meyer SB2 / Pioneer VSX-1015TX / Orb Audio Mod 1's ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mike Meyer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1832 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21414 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
