Incredible but true. Some clown from Louisiana is trying to sue Apple for damaged hearing as the result of using his iPod. Good one Dufus. What, you didn't yet work out how to turn the volume down?! What are you, thick as a bag of hammers? Sounds like it, though I don't guess you hear that well in the first place.
Sounds like a get rich quick scheme. Any judge who would agree with you would have to be pretty dumb too. Sure an iPod could deafen you if used by a stupid dumb cretin with no ability to work out when the music was too loud.

But then you could deafen yourself by sticking you head under the hood of your car and revving the engine or putting your ear to a household drill whe it's hammering through dry wall. Of course you'd have to be pretty thick to do that but hey, we're having a little draw here and guessing that you're not the smartest nobel prize winner at the symposium.
