WHO warns that one billion teenagers or half of young people in rich countries are at risk of hearing loss due to listening to music too loudly on music players and smartphones, music in nightclubs, bars, sporting events. The safe limit is to listen for only an hour a day.

Changing volume and listening for less than an hour a day can reduce hearing loss, however, WHO says that even an hour can be too much if the volume is too loud. One researcher explains: "Loud voices damage your hearing by killing thousands of tiny hair cells in the inner ear that detect different sounds and they are very fragile, and if they vibrate so much they break and die, they never grow back."
