There is no better way than to prevent risks than saying sorry for the rest of your life. While MP3 use elevates the way people’s music preferences, recent car accidents like that of a high school student from Alliance Highschool, Ohio and that of the train accident in January of this year in Rhondda were linked with the use of MP3 players while these teens were on the move.

With the growing concerns over the safe use of MP3 while on the move, recent researches results indicate how much time young people listen to MP3 players within the day. Related to such report is World Health Organization’s (WHO) report stating that listening to MP3 for more than one hour can damage the hearing capacity of the user unless regulated. WHO further announced that young people are facing the risks of premature hearing damage later on if they continue to use MP3 players for more than one hour and at 85db or over.

Hence, MP3 manufacturers are advised to bend their marketing perspective a little and include warnings in the use of these players. For one, manufacturers are to include decibel information and guidance and so does warning sounds. These safety measures are believed to be effective in protecting these young people’s hearing capabilities and may prevent them for facing accidents while on the road. Manufacturers are given the opportunity to be responsible enough in protecting these users while enjoying the product they purchased in their companies. Nevertheless, it is still up to the MP3 manufacturers on when and how they can participate in such protective measures.
