Dr. Sandra Levey of New York City's Lehman College says 13% of teenagers aged 16 to 19 already show signs of noise-induced hearing loss. The inner ear contains small hair cells that vibrate against an inner membrane, generating an electrical signal that the brain interprets as sound, Levey explains. When bombarded by loud volumes over an extended period of time, these hair cells die off. The result is hearing loss, and potentially an array of other nasty consequences. A study...

That was "a mistake," says Jean-Pierre Jouyet, the former French Minister for European Affairs who now heads the national stock-market regulatory agency...
...UK—next year he plans on busking his way through the north of England in the style of an itinerant minstrel—he still thinks of his poems as primarily textual experiences. “By and large, I write for the page, for the inner eye and the inner ear,” he says. And despite the meticulous research that goes into his translations and his collaborations, Armitage is still most fond of his more personal poetry, which he refers to as his “daydream poems.” “They?...
