According to a new study from researchers at Ghent University in Belgium, those who enjoy listening to their music on MP3 players could be more likely to be affected by hearing loss in the long-term.
They found that activities such as this can cause temporary changes in the sensitivity of a person’s hearing, which could result in problems further down the line.
Acoustic over-stimulation of the hair cells within the ear is said to be the part most vulnerable to this form of music listening.
However, we shouldn’t worry about this too much as the study was only done on 60 young people and we all know that playing music too loud and too often could eventually cause hearing loss or related problems.

As you will already know, there is plenty of choice when it comes to sites offering you the chance to download music in the MP3 format. However, not many of these – if any at all give you a chance to buy your favourite tunes and help charities at the same time.
Fairshare Music, which is represented by eleven charity organisations, has now been launched to provide consumers with another choice in where to get good value music – with tracks offered at 79p, which is cheaper than most iTunes songs.
The platform is supported by these charities in order to raise funds and increase awareness, while the artists themselves will be able to profit too.

If you are looking to get the latest mobile device from Apple then you will be interested to know that it is now available for pre-order from the operator.
The handset, which will be available in sizes of 16 and 32GB, is to be priced at £499 and £599 respectively.
There is still no word from UK networks as to their tariff structure for the new iPhone, but here’s hoping that there will be some deals around to make things a bit more competitive.
After all, we need to ensure there is still money left over to buy some top apps and MP3s after laying down the cash for the handset upfront.

I’m going to start off this blog post with a half @rsed apology to the site’s many regular users – the previous writer of this blog preferred nothing better than to buy the latest NOW album and club anthem compilations, ranting on about the latest tunes, blah, blah, blah. However, this is all about to stop.
I don’t particularly like dance music and so will not be writing about it. You will still be able to find out where to buy the cheapest MP3s for your player, but won’t get any interesting facts about how great it is to annoy your neighbours with the repetitive artificial drone of the Ministry of Sound collection coming through the walls, slapping around the locals after a big night out in Ibiza or being off your head in a club full of idiots where everyone has lost the capacity to speak.
A change is on the horizon. The rock music mogul is here.
