Introduction: Music is considered one of the means of entertainment today. It has been evolved a long way from folk to rock music to instrumentals. With advent of gramophones and radio, listening to music had become easy and convenient. But with introduction to Walkman, ear devices have now been truly evolved with “music on the go” as the standard. The next generation hearing devices are now in vogue which are more appealing and trendy, with its own pros and cons. Aims and Objectives: To study hazardous effects of overuse of ear devices and its relation between deafness and duration of usage. Methodology: Data was collected from 650 self- confessed volunteers using portable hearing devices with help of questionnaire and were then subjected to audiometry Results: Results were drawn after categorizing volunteers into 3 groups based on threshold of hearing and hearing loss and the unaffected ones. Conclusion: A fine line between enjoying music and preventing damage to oneself is answered in this study. Key words: Hearing devices, deafness, music, audiometry.
