Headphone listening habits and hearing thresholds in swedish adolescents.

CONCLUSION: Although the vast majority listened at moderate sound levels and for shorter periods of time, the study also indicates that there is a subgroup (10%) that listens between 90 and 100 dB for longer periods of time, even during sleep. This group might be at risk for developing future noise-induced hearing impairments. PMID: 28615542 [PubMed - in process]
