Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 5
Abstract
Aim: The aim of this study is to survey and document the patterns of usage and listening habits of personal music players among young adults in India. Method: A total 500 (169 M, 331 F) young adults between the age range of 17- 24 years participated in the study. The questionnaire was developed in English and was designed to collect information. The questionnaire was divided into two sections. The first section of questions consisted of demographical data such as name, age, gender and college information. The second section consisted of 17 (closed and open-set) questions about PMPs, its use and effects. Results: All the 500 young adults surveyed reported that they used PMPs. The cell phone was the most frequently used PMP (68%) followed by the others devices such as iPod (28%), laptop/computer with ear phone (24%), MP3 player (21%), and walkman or portable CD player (10%). Conclusion: Promoting responsible listening habits could prevent premature damage to the auditory system. The manufacturers of PMPs should provide necessary technical information and modifications to the users. This will enable the users to be aware of the maximum output levels of various devices available in the market.
