very true. but only if you exceed 100-120 decibels which is very bad to your ears, specially on a regular basis. 120db is compared to a jet engine noise. (please correct decibel level if wrong)

Yah i know that. And based on the aricle that I've read, to much expose to noisy environment may cause hearing deffect. So it really mean that using an ipod may cause hearing deffects coz' it's too near for the eardram and its loudness is really severe.

Its true that if you listen to loud music, it can destroy your hearing. Just ask anyone who went to the rock concerts in the 60s and 70s. most of us are partially deaf. So, if you have your earbuds in, and the volume turned up loud enough for someone else to hear the music, then yes, you are damaging your hearing.

Oh really, gone in concerts may be cause of hearing deffect? I think this could only be happen if you are too near to the big boxes of speakers that concerts oftenly used. I've gone so many concerts but still im not deaf. I can still manage to hear.
