I read some where that the ipod will damage your hearing in time or is this another myth ?

It's more the ear buds than it is the iPod but American versions of the iPod allow the volume to go quite high.  You may find everything you need to know in this article.\n\nhttp://www.californiaaggie.com/media/paper981/news/2006/02/10/ScienceTech/Is.An.Apple.Ipod.A.Day.Bad.For.The.Ears-1608352.shtml?norewrite&sourcedomain=www.californiaaggie.com

The trouble with the apple headphones is they have the white cord, which is like wearing a "I have an iPod, steal me" sign.  Sony still makes tons of headphones, I am a big fan of their vertical, in-ear headphones, the ones with the shaped earbuds.  They are so good at blocking noise that you can have them really quiet and still hear it fine (helps save your hearing).

If you hit the eardrum, which it sounds like you might have, it shouldn't be a huge deal. I've done it a million times as a kid. Once in a watergun fight, my friend shot the watergun directly into my ear and I ruptured it that way. I still hear fine. It will normally heal on it's own. The problem however, is infection. Because your ears are naturally bacteria ridden (no matter who you are) and there is only one usual way out, everything will kind of sit next to your eardrum, which is fine, unless your ear drum is ruptured. If it is punctured everything will flow behind your ear drum and gunk it up back there. If the pain gets any worse, or if you get dizzy (any kind of inner ear disturbance will throw off your equilibrium) you should see a doctor immediately. Also, if the pain continues, go see a doctor anyways. Peace of mind is never a bad thing.

I've had a few ultra sounds (pregnancy, kidneys) and have never had a problem - but the ultra sound person should tell you of any risks

Yo, this completely depends on how loud it is, and how short or long your attention span is.  As for me, it helps out alot. peace.

Hi there -\n\nI sometimes have the same problem with the metal sounds - especially if it's really quiet.  I was considering going to a hearing specialist to check for damage.  I know that if you have hearing damage your ears "ring" and I'm wondering if what I'm hearing is similar?  It's enough to make you crazy if you can't get it to go away or get your mind on something else.  I'd definately check with either your general practioner or a hearing specialist.  I think I'll be going soon myself.  You're not alone!

Well... I know there is a 1-year warranty.. but they can live long. I've had mine for 2 years now. They don't even make mine anymore!(iPod HP 20GB)I didn't have any trouble AT ALL until this year. About every month it totally dies on me and i have to put it in "disk mode" and restore the whole thing and it takes about 4 hours to download all of my music onto it again... but it's worth it i guess. i've never had to take it to the Geek Squad.... lol. (BestBuy) I've read many books about how to do what with the different types of ipods. And I admit... for a girl.. I am a NERD when it comes to electronic stuff like ipods. As longs as you take care of them and don't do anything too drastic they can live as long as mine..or maybe longer! :)

<>You are suffering from tinnitus (aka tintinitis); and yes, this can be indicative of hearing damage from loud music.  It should subside within a few days but, if not, you should see an audiologist or ENT quickly.  The symptoms CAN remian with you forever and they can be very unpleasant.  BTW, do not confuse this with a "ruptured ear drum;" that is a different problem and can be cured or healed.

I apologize for the snide remark, but if you value\nyour health you should not be using any brand of\nwireless headphones.  Wireless headphones operate\nin the several GHz range (just like your cell phone\ndoes.) This is the same range that we use for cooking\nin microwave ovens.  In other words, every time you\nput your cell phone to your ears, next to your brain,\nyou are cooking your brain by microwaves.  Except, of\ncourse, that the intensity of the radiation is so low,\nthat it apparently does no damage in a period of\na few minutes a day, even by as much as an hour a day,\nwhich is very heavy cell-phone usage.  Therefore,\nunless you are addicted to talking on your cell-phone\nall the time, I would not worry about cell-phone usage.\n\nBut head-phones are a different story...\nNow we are talking about hours of exposure everyday,\ninstead of minutes.  So you are in serious jeopardy.\n\nWorst thing about this is actually the uncertainty.\nEverybody who knows about microwaves worries about\nthis problem, but no one to my knowledge has proven\nconclusively that the use of wireless headphones many\nhours a day are either safe or unsafe.  In other\nwords, you use them at your own risk.  Do you want\nto take that risk?

Sounds like your cold got "in your ear".  Glad you are seeing the doctor.  You may need antibiotics to clear this up.  If left untreated, it could potentially effect your hearing.  Sounds like you caught it in time.  (No pun intended).  ; )

I have NEVER heard any complaints about Bose products. Unless you want the stereo to match your iPod, stick with Bose.
