Well, that's not that interesting and many people would agree with that statement. Here's why it's an interesting fact: The reason people listen to music too loudly is not necessarily because they love loud music.

A hearing aid is a device used to help the hard-of-hearing distinguish sounds and converse normally. In the past, hearing aids consisted of a funnel- like amplification cone, called an ear trumpet. Bigger aids used a desk with a built-in amplifier into which a microphone and earphones were plugged; these worked better than passive ear trumpets, however they could be only kept at one place. Digital hearing aids first came to market in 1987 with two manufacturers introducing hearing aids with digital signal processing (DSP). While high-tech for their time, these hearing aids had little success and were soon abandoned due to their large size and high battery drain. Nearly a decade later, two separate...
