Listen to the Danger

NY subway commuters may be gradually losing their hearing, experts say:

"Researchers from the Mailman School of Public Health at the city's Columbia University found that exposure to the noise levels of the New York transit system can exceed recommended guidelines of the World Health Organization and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)."

Wearing an iPod to block out the noise is even more damaging, the article continues. Not good news for the city's musicians, especially the underground performers.
