Student falls asleep wearing earbuds - and wakes up deaf in one ear

Doctors in Taiwan urge people who fall sleep while listening to music to think twice before doing so.The NHS suggests not to listen to music louder than 60 per cent of the maximum volume

They also added that this particular student would have lost hearing in both of his ears if one of the ear buds had not fallen out while he was asleep. The student, who has not been identified, luckily managed to gradually get his hearing back after almost falling victim to permanent hearing damage.Dr Tian Huiji, director of otorhinolaryngology at the hospital, told

that while people may listen to loud music during the day, it is far more dangerous to do the same at night.This consequently leaves the highly-sensitive sensory hair cells in ears responsible for detecting sound-waves less able to protect our hearing from loud sounds.The NHS has warned of the dangers of turning up the volume at full blast, saying it can cause long-term hearing damage.The World Health Organisation estimates 375 ­million of people are severely disabled by hearing loss.

NHS suggests not to listen to music louder than 60 per cent of the maximum volume, as well as to take a break from listening through them for at least five minutes every hour.under 30s are especially at risk of going deaf by listening to music too loudly through earphones plugged into their phone.Youngsters also risk damage at gigs and nightclubs where noise levels over 100 decibels can only be listened to safely for 15 minutes.

Brexit looms, MPs fret... and Geoffrey Cox shouts about his codpiece.MichaelPDeacon: 'EU sources claim that they still aren’t sure what Geoffrey Cox wants and this raises some serious questions, the first one being: are they deaf?' MichaelPDeacon They did this with the Greeks too. It's SOP for the EU. If you're not saying what they want to hear, they go deaf and pantomime incomprehension. Just like Parisian waiters when I essay my schoolchild French. MichaelPDeacon EU is blatantly mocking both Geoffrey_Cox & theresa_may over Brexit. Brussels isn't deaf, just ignorant. MichaelPDeacon Or Cox didn't explain himself clearly or just repeated past statements - after all that is all his Master does - she just keeps repeating the same thing & nothing gets accomplished.
