JOE's NOTE: -
Hello everyone! School is soon coming to an end and what does the summer hold for us? Work? Vacation? Summer classes? Throughout the school year sometimes our youth are inhibited from working on their relationship with Christ because of practice, homework, essays, and even their social lives. Summer is the perfect time for young people to exercise all that they couldn't in their spiritual lives because of school. We encourage all youth leaders to make the most of the summer days to enlighten, encourage, and empower young people to work on their relationship with Christ. Staying N-Touch...
Joe Garay, YNT Director

Teens and Headphones
...is it safe to be tuned into a set of headphones all the time? According to a report on website www.usatoday.com, the maximum volume of an Apple iPod is in the range of 120 decibels, equivalent to the sound of a jet plane taking off! If you're an mp3 addict who's listening to music 24/7, here's a few things you should watch out for!
- When your ears buzz, it's known as tinnitus. Tinnitus is sometimes temporary in nature, but each time it occurs it signifies that damage has been done to your inner ear, according to the Medline Plus Medical Encyclopedia.
- Hyperacusis is a hearing condition that causes an individual to become overly-sensitive to sounds within a certain frequency range, according to Wikipedia.
- According to a feature published by associatedcontent.com, University of Michigan researchers found that loud levels of noise can up a person's blood pressure, which in turn increases your risk of a heart attack!
- A study published by the Journal of Epidemiology has linked repeated exposure to loud volume to tumours along the cranial nerve. Such tumours put pressure on the nerve and result in hearing impairment and loss.
- And here's a tip from all the experts -- don't exceed 60 percent of the volume capability on your player under any circumstances! If someone a couple of feet away can hear any sound coming from your headphones, it's too loud!
