Non Fiction: Loud Headphones

    Many roomers and controversies have been going around of how mayor Bloomberg wants to limit the sound of your head phones. Most New Yorkers use these headphone on a regular day basis and are used to the level of sound. Many of these headphones such as Beats or SONY headphones are beyond average sound, which is why many New Yorkers use them. The question is, is this good? People do this all the time and studies show that they have impacted the hearing of teenagers. All these people and users of these products might suffer consequences of hearing them for too long and too much, but should they? Many people interviewed said no that they companies should be responsible. Nothing is official yet but their will be a decision and which ever one is made won`t make certain people happy.

    After reading this article it made me realize how true it is and how i could relate.All day on the news hearing this new thing that the mayor was going to do made think about the thousands of people who do this. This has now become a way of life for most because people are so used to it that taking it away would be like living with out ears. Ok, they`ll still be able to listen to them but a lot of people only buy these headphones just to hear the loudness of it. I think that people should be aware of the consequences. Maybe make ads, commercials just to worn people;how ever i think that their are far more serious issues in New York that should be solved. For example the conflict with people getting pushed into the train and hum-sides that are way more serious than the volume of headphones.
