Which detail from the passage best supports the author's assertion that listening to loud music can create hearing loss?
Because of the hearing loss, I can't make out certain sounds, and that sometimes makes it hard for me to understand what is being said.
Or you may say, "But, Julia, it's only 12.5% of all kids who have hearing problems due to excessively loud noise. This means that plenty of kids listen to loud music without any bad consequences."
I've listened to countless hours of music - vibrant music pouring into my ears from headphones, washing over me from car speakers, or blasting at me from gigantic speakers at concerts.
Experts say that noise-induced hearing loss can happen from hearing a very loud sound (120 decibels or higher) once, or from hearing a sound at 85 decibels or higher for an extended period of time.
