To summarize the literature on patterns and risks of personal listening device (PLD) use, which is ubiquitous among teenagers and young adults. The review emphasizes risk awareness, health concerns of PLD users, inclination to take actions to prevent hearing loss from exposure to loud music, and specific instructional messages that are likely to motivate such preventive actions.
We conducted a systematic, critical review of the English-language scholarly literature on the topic of PLDs and their potential effects on human hearing. We used popular database search engines to locate relevant professional journals, books, recent conference papers, and other reference sources.
Adolescents and young adults appear to have somewhat different perspectives on risks to hearing posed by PLD use. Messages designed to suggest actions they might take in avoiding or reducing these risks, therefore, need to be targeted to achieve optimal outcomes. We offer specific recommendations regarding the framing and content of educational messages that are most likely to be effective in reducing the potentially harmful effects of loud music on hearing in these populations, and we note future research needs.
总结关于个人收听设备（PLD）使用模式及风险的文献，PLD在青少年和年轻人中使用极为普遍。本综述强调风险意识、PLD使用者的健康问题、采取行动预防因接触大声音乐而导致听力损失的倾向，以及可能促使采取此类预防行动的具体指导性信息。
我们对关于PLD及其对人类听力潜在影响这一主题的英文学术文献进行了系统的批判性综述。我们使用了流行的数据库搜索引擎来查找相关专业期刊、书籍、近期会议论文及其他参考资料。
青少年和年轻人对于使用PLD造成听力风险似乎有不同的看法。因此，旨在建议他们可能采取的避免或降低这些风险的行动的信息，需要有针对性才能取得最佳效果。我们针对教育信息的框架和内容提供了具体建议，这些建议最有可能有效减少大声音乐对这些人群听力的潜在有害影响，并且我们指出了未来的研究需求。
