Survey of college students' MP3 listening : Habits, safety issues, attitudes, and education
PURPOSE: To survey listening habits and attitudes of typical college students who use MP3 players and to investigate possible safety issues related to MP3 player listening.
METHOD: College students who were frequent MP3 player users (N = 428) filled out a 30-item online survey. Specific areas probed by the present survey included frequency and duration of MP3 player use, MP3 player volume levels used, types of earphones used, typical environments in which MP3 player was worn, specific activities related to safety while listening to MP3 players, and attitudes toward MP3 player use.
RESULTS: The majority of listeners wore MP3 players for less than 2 hr daily at safe volume levels. About one third of respondents reported being distracted while wearing an MP3 player, and more than one third of listeners experienced soreness in their ears after a listening session. About one third of respondents reported occasionally using their MP3 players at maximum volume levels. Listeners indicated willingness to (a) reduce volume levels, (b) decrease listening duration, and (c) buy specialized earphones to conserve their hearing.
CONCLUSION: The study found concerns regarding the occasional use of MP3 players at full volume and reduced environmental awareness among some college student users.
