EU propose ban on loud MP3 Players including iPhone
The EU have suggested a ban on MP3 Players including iPhones that dangerously exceed reasonable sound levels. A study found that some models can reach up to 115 decibels.
The move to reduce volume levels was prompted after Stephen Russell of the European Consumer lobby Anec said 'There are up to 10 million Europeans, mainly young, at risk of losing their hearing permanently in the next five years due to personal listening habits'.
The EU are planning a 85 decibel limit with a decision to be made in the Spring.
