Pretty soon everyone on the planet will have an iPod. My buddy John Hawbaker of Clarity (part of Plantronics) pointed out this study to me. It&rsquos probably a good thing to read for iPod owners. I have significant hearing loss in one ear (not because of an iPod), and it&rsquos a pain in the ass, so I&rsquod like to help people avoid hearing loss if possible.
