Authors of a WHO-led study say up to 1.35 billion young people could be at risk of hearing loss from listening to headphones or attending loud music venues
The World Health Organization-led study called on young people to be more careful about their listening habits, and urged manufacturers to do more to protect future hearing.
It also found 48% were exposed to unsafe noise levels at entertainment venues such as concerts or nightclubs. Ms Dillard said the best way for people to lessen their risk of hearing loss from headphones is to turn down the volume and listen for shorter periods.Headphone users should use settings or apps on smartphones to monitor sound levels, she advised.
"All of these behaviours, these exposures can compound over the course of your entire life, and then when you're 67 years old, it can have a pretty big impact."
