WHO: Half of the world's 360 million people with hearing impairment could have been avoided

The World Health Organization released a report saying that about 1.1 billion young people around the world are threatened by excessive noise from personal audio-visual devices and entertainment venues. The resulting hearing loss may have adverse effects on their physical and mental health, education and employment.

The study found that nearly 50 percent of people aged 12 to 35 use personal audio-visual devices at volumes exceeding legal limits, and 40 percent spend too much time in entertainment venues with excessive noise levels.
