更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂for more than 90 minutes a day can damage your hearing，according to a new
United States study.
The study of 100 doctoral students concluded that people who listened to
music at 80 percent of volume capacity (音量), at which point the sound is
considered loud，should stick to under 90 minutes a day.
“If a person exceeds that on one particular day and happens not to use their
headphones for the rest of the week，they're at no higher risk，”study author
Brian Fligor told reporters.
The study also found no problems for people who listened to music at 10
percent to 50 percent of maximum (最大的) volume for extended periods. It
found，however，that anyone who listened at 100 percent for more than five
minutes faced the risk of hearing loss. Fligor said people who consistently listen
to high levels of volume don't realize that hearing loss can take up to 10 years to
show up.
