According
to the WHO, 1.1 billion teenagers and young adults are at risk of hearing loss
as a result of prolonged and regular use of personal audio devices, including
smartphones, and exposure to harmful noise levels in certain leisure venues,
such as nightclubs, bars and sporting events. When the sound is particularly
loud, regular or prolonged, it can lead to: total or partial deafness, which
can appear prematurely and permanently; a buzzing or whistling sound heard
every day without interruption; and hyperacusis, which makes sufferers
intolerant of the slightest noise.
