Eastern New Mexico University professor William Edmonston helps frame teen attitudes toward loud rock music and potential ear damage. The survey finds about 12 percent listen 40 plus hours weekly, 20 percent 11 to 20 hours, and 12 percent less than four hours. Boys lean toward concern and reduced listening, while girls doubt the dangers and most teens say they would moderate only if enjoyment remains. Locals cited include Tom Louie of Portland, Shirley Baca of Las Cruces, Chris Louisell of Kalamazoo, Debbie Grogans of Birmingham, and Bruce Creditor of Louisville, with varied views on enduring ear strain.
