How long until hearing loss sets in?
Sean asked:
Lets say someone listened to their ipod at 90% volume, two hours a day, five days a week for a few years, how long until hearing loss would be noticed? Soon or not until old age? How does one make sure that they will not after using the ipod or is that impossible to determine?

I think that it will vary from person to person, however, when I first became aware of my own hearing loss I found it difficult to hold conversations where there was any background noise (bars, restaurants, in traffic etc). But my friends all were saying long before that that they were have to repeat what they’d said more than once when talking to me.
If anybody is concerned about their hearing in the scenario you describe, then do what I did and go for hearing tests. IAN
