Loud Music and Hearing Loss (1 of 2)

Description
If prolonged, the 120-decibel music at a rock concert can damage or destroy the delicate hair cells of the inner ear and impair the hearing of fans that are sitting or standing close to the speakers. The microphotograph on the right shows minuscule bristles (cilia) projecting from a single hair cell.
