Brussels
- The European Commission has issued new standards for the volume settings on
MP3 players, Reuters reports. Set to go into effect after a 24-month
consultation, the rules set a "safe" volume by default. A health
warning will also be issued to anyone who goes in to override the default settings.
Listening to MP3 players regularly for prolonged periods at high volume has
been shown to lead to hearing loss and tinnitus.
