even me !! i too got this mail and orkut !!! i dont know how this can be true !! may be their earphones are dirty !!

@ infra_red

yes i forgot about others safety !! its certainly risky when walking on the road with earphones and driving with them on !! coz sound which then a basic protection and warning system is turned off

 

[Pathik]

^^ I think thats safe as long as there is not very high noise cancellation in ur headfones..

^^^ nothing is safe as long as ur ears are plugged. plus its an offence when driving.

OMG.... I listen to my iPod Nano, with the bundled earphones for about 3 hours per day and that to at about 80-90% volume....

Now I need to reduce the time.... else hope that by the time I start loosing the ability to hear, some biological expert has found a solution to avoid it.....

Is there a software to monitor and CONTROL the level of dB the PC Out is producing because there are various volume increase functions working on at the same time on a PC.

Such a software should DEFINATELY help

 

[a_k_s_h_a_y]

i don't think there is any such software......but there are many noise level meters which show u them !! but i dont know where to find them !!
