Get a Free 8GB iPod Nano... just remember to keep it down!
On Monday the European Union told music lovers to turn down their music. Frequent users on their MP3 players and iPods risk permanent hearing loss. Although there may not be any immediately noticeable effects in the long run it could be very damamging.
EU scientists reported that between 2.5 million and 10 million Europeans could suffer hearing loss from listening to MP3 players at unsafe volumes — over 89 decibels — for more an hour daily for at least five years.
The EU will most likely be looking at changing the legal decibel limit to 100.
Apple currently cautions iPod users that "permanent hearing loss may occur if earphones or headphones are used at high volume."
Either way get an iPod here and crank it or not :)
