Introduction • Rapid technological advances have revolutionized personal
listening devices, leading to an electronics market dominated by Walkman, iPod and other brands of MP3 players.
• 91% of all people on earth have a mobile phone. • India is the second largest mobile phone user in the world.
70.08% of total population of India uses mobile phones. In Kerala and Lakshadweep alone there are 34.51 million mobile phone users3.
• Nowadays even mobile phones come equipped with earphones and cater a variety of functions like playing music, videos, movies and also games.

• Most of the MP3 players today can produce sounds up to 120 decibel
• At that level, hearing loss can occur after only about an hour and 15 minutes.
• The use of earbuds (earphones) placed directly into the ear can amplify the sound signals by as much as six to nine dB

• Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) reported 10.7% of population suffering from hearing impairment is due to earphone use

• Serious injuries to pedestrians listening to headphones have more than tripled
• Researchers reviewed 116 accident cases from 2004 to 2011 in which injured pedestrians were documented to be using headphones

• In addition to the structural damage personal listening devices can cause to the inner ear, these devices leads to spending more time in isolation than interacting with others. This can cause social and emotional problems for children

Results and discussions • Mobile phone is the most commonly used
device (63%) in relation to the listening habits.
• 32.5% of the samples frequently use personal listening devices and 16.5% always use personal listening devices
• Most commonly used PLD is ear bud type (56.5%).
• Majority of the samples used PLDs in both ears (97%).
![Page 35: Main study ppt copy](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062822/588423ee1a28ab485c8b612f/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
• A mild change in perception of hearing was experienced by 70.5 % of the sample and 1% experienced severe changes in the perception of their hearing.
• Minimal hearing loss as measured by puretone audiometry and distortion product oto acoustic emission test was found in 3.5% of the sample.
• A total of 43.5 % of the sample had abnormal hearing acuity

Limitations • As the study sample is limited to 200
and the sampling technique was conveninent, generalization of the findings is limited.
• As the study is retrospective the actual effect cannot be assessed.
