  > So can headphones and earbuds, and society seems to do just fine with the normal level of consumer electronics regulation. Do we? I was under the impression that there has been an uptick in hearing damage in young people due to them increasing the earbud volume above background noise levels (not so much of a problem in earphones that cover the ears as they block out outside noise). That's a medical problem that will have significant effects downstream over time and the consumer regulation really isn't working.
