According to Fligor, the harm depends upon how loud one uses the iPod and the level of the volume at which he or she listens most often. However there is variation in people and it is completely different for each individual but in general, the long hours, five to six days a week and loud volume of listening music will definitely harm your eardrums and may be lead you to complete or partial hearing loss.

POPS'Fear detector' being developed that will be able to sniff out terrorists Evidence that the smell of fear is real was uncovered by US scientists last year who studied the underarm secretions of 20 terrified novice skydivers. The researchers found that people appear to respond unconsciously to the sweat smell of a frightened person. Scientists at City University London now hope to develop security sensor systems that can detect the human fear pheromone. Team leader Professor Tong Tun told The Engineer magazine: 'The challenge lies in the characterisation and identification of the specific chemical that gives away the signature of human fear, especially the fear in relation to criminal acts.'
