After finally playing with the iPad for the day I got a few first impressions. It’s cool, even though I’d sooner have a laptop (but aside from personal preference,) it’s a new way to consume media that impacts to how many iPad users use headphones. Specifically more reasons to use headphones to watch TV, movies or listen to music means longer exposure to the hazards of headphones and the danger of prolonged exposure to loud sounds.
Where the iTouch and iPhone headphones are designed to be convenient to carry with you the iPad’s space savings and increased price makes bigger, more comfortable headphones an attractive accessory. Which means many iPad users could be using more efficient (louder) headphones for longer periods of time increasing the risk of developing Noise Induced Hearing Loss.
