It is a common sight nowadays to see youngsters walking down the road intently listening to iPod music, with wires originating from their ears and dangling down their body. Like their computers they have also become experts in multitasking. However this multitasking is dangerous and it gives rise to accidents and unpleasant happenings, especially when a guy drives a car on a busy road or a machine operator runs a machine in a production shop or a doctor listens to the woes of the patient with the music gadget on.
Apart from this researchers have found that listening to iPod or MP3 Player or other audio gadgets just for one hour impairs hearing. Scientists have inferred that hair cells in the outer region of the ears are damaged when a person wears earphones and listens to music for an hour or more.
I appeal to our younger generation to desist from use of musical gadgets of this type which may affect their health.
