More teens in the U.S. suffer from mild hearing loss today than teens did 10 years ago. Scientists blame this increase among teens on the rise in popularity of using earphones to listen to MP3 players.

Scientists counter that most teens do not realize that the volume of their MP3 players is loud enough to affect young ears.
