On iPods and hearing loss: Just turn it down (Cnet News)
The suit, filed on behalf of John Kiel Patterson and all other iPod buyers, seeks monetary damages to compensate for the hearing loss suffered by iPod users as well as a share of Apple's iPod profits. The suit also seeks to force Apple to offer a software upgrade to limit the iPod's output to 100 decibels as well as provide headphones designed to block out external noise.
[I remember one professor saying to me last semester about how he was investing in the hearing aid market because all of the current young people listening to iPods will need hearing aids in old age. BK]

This to me is exactly the same as the McDonalds coffee case. Stupid people who are too stupid for their own good. This Big Brother stuff really irritates me.
