Feature – Is your MP3 player damaging your hearing?

With claims and possible legal action being brought against Apple, the makers of the popular Ipod portable music device earlier this year, many people have been left wondering whether MP3 players can damage your hearing.

Apple has released updated software of the lastest Ipods, which enables you to set a limit on how loud your Ipod is.

…even better, for parents with kids who have an iPod, you can lock in a maximum volume level that you feel is appropriate for your kids…which can only be adjusted using a secret code.

If you own a new iPod or Ipod nano, you can download the software update at www.apple.com.au/ipod
