Most teenagers are at risk for developing a hearing loss related to:
1. Noise exposure.
2. Repeated ear infection.
3. Lack of adequate health care.
4. Swimming.
Noise exposure.
Rationale: Most teenagers listen to very loud music. Noise exposure can cause a sensorineural hearing loss. Parents should encourage their children to lower the volume of the music. Repeated ear infections can cause damage to the ear, but most teenagers do not have repeated ear infections. The majority of teenagers in the United States have adequate health care. More teenagers probably listen to loud music than swim.
