We all love listening to music as we walk through the city streets.

We love to be enveloped in music and not hear the noise on the street, but if you have your iPod up all the way, you could be damaging your hearing.

Few people take seriously the dangers associated with listening to music too loud. According to experts, this is a good way to increase your chances of deafness. Besides hearing loss, listening to music full blast makes you unaware of what is going on around you: you won't hear a bike coming up behind you or a car horn...meaning you could end up in an accident.

Experts say that you should not use your MP3 iPhone more than 60 minutes at a time and never louder than 60% of its capacity.
