have been identified in 1 out of every 5 teens. It was suggested that it may be attributed to them constantly listening to loud music, especially using ear phones!
What if anything can be done about this, unfortunately teens usually don't heed grownups advice.

That you can hear their music from the other side of a railway carriage tells you how loud they play the music

What if anything can be done about this, unfortunately teens usually don't heed grownups advice. Yes, I've read studies such as you've mentioned cars. I've also experienced an example of the loud music teens/late 20's seem to enjoy, at least I assume they enjoy it, though I cannot figure out why.
A 28 year old cousin of mine held his birthday party in pub lounge where the disc jockey had the volume up at top notch. We all had to SHOUT INTO EACH OTHERS EAR in order to be heard.
It lasted three hours and when my wife and I left the lounge our ears were ringing.
I absolutely believe these reports, and I feel heart sorry for the teens who are in that environment every week-end, no doubt through the week also.
The resultant hearing loss, I feel, would have to be proven by those teens who are now affected by hearing loss due to loud music, before they would accept it as fact. Even then, some would ignore the evidence I'm sure.
It's a very difficult problem to solve. Parents, schools, universities, medical profession etc, would all have to play a constant active role in getting the message across.
I hope somebody succeeds.

Peer pressure. Have teens who already have hearing-loss speak to the others about what it's like to have hearing-loss and what they wished they had done to prevent it.

I've often wondered about this. I too like to listen to my music really loud. It doesn't seem to be as good at just medium volume. I nevered considered that this could be hard on my ears. This gives me something to think about.
