To explore adolescents' behaviors and opinions about exposure to loud music from MP3 players.
We conducted a qualitative analysis of focus-group discussions with adolescents aged 12 to 18 years from 2 large secondary schools (1 urban and 1 rural) for pre-vocational and pre-university education. The semi-structured question route was theoretically framed within the protection motivation theory.
Most adolescents-especially male students and students from pre-vocational schools-indicated that they often played their MP3 players at maximum volume. Although they appeared to be generally aware of the risks of exposure to loud music, they expressed low personal vulnerability to music-induced hearing loss. Most adolescents said that they would not accept any interference with their music-exposure habits.
Interventions should target students from pre-vocational schools and should focus on increasing adolescents' knowledge of the risks of loud music and how to protect themselves. Besides hearing education for adolescents and technical modifications of MP3 players, volume-level regulations for MP3 players may be warranted.
探讨青少年接触MP3播放器大声播放音乐的行为及看法。
我们对来自2所大型中学（1所城市学校和1所农村学校）的12至18岁接受职业预备教育和大学预科教育的青少年进行了焦点小组讨论的定性分析。半结构化问题路径在保护动机理论的框架内进行了理论构建。
大多数青少年，尤其是男学生和职业预备学校的学生，表示他们经常将MP3播放器音量调至最大。尽管他们似乎普遍意识到接触大声音乐的风险，但他们表示个人因音乐导致听力损失的易感性较低。大多数青少年表示，他们不会接受对其音乐接触习惯的任何干涉。
干预措施应针对职业预备学校的学生，并应侧重于增加青少年对大声音乐风险及如何自我保护的认识。除了对青少年进行听力教育和对MP3播放器进行技术改进外，对MP3播放器的音量级别进行规定可能是必要的。
