The real question should be; 'what will they hear (or rather,
NOT hear) twenty years from now?' I blew my ears out as an older teenager listening to loud military noises in Vietnam, "Pinball Wizard" by The Who, and loud motorcycles. Got no one to blame but myself. These poor kids are being deafened by effective advertising. Bigger, better, louder earphones 18 hours a day. By the time they marry, they will be lucky if they can hear their baby's first laugh!

We have a word for that kind of deafness here... east-indian deaf... A lot of children have that type of deafness too.
