ROSE TATTOO Legend Angry Anderson To Join Aussie Audiologists In Campaign To Protect Hearing
According to
News.com.au, doctors are pleading with youngsters to 'turn down the volume' as children as young as 10 suffer hearing loss.
MP3 players and iPods are being blamed for an increasing number of teenagers and young adults going deaf from overexposure to noise.
At least one in six Australians has permanent hearing damage and that figure is expected to skyrocket in the next decade.
Australian rock legend Angry Anderson will join audiologists today to launch Get Connected, a campaign to raise awareness of the dangers of being exposed to noise levels exceeding 85 decibels.
Audiologist Chris Brew said as little as 15 minutes of listening to music at a high level could start to cause damage.

Angry Anderson started losing his hearing when he worked as a fitter and turner in his 20s. His hearing loss became more profound following years of performing in concerts and he now wears a hearing aid.
