Can prolonged Ipod use cause Ear problems?

Dear Ask The Doctor: Are the any studies that suggest prolonged Ipod use, even at normal volumes cause hearing loss or other ear problems in the future?

Dear Samantha: I am not aware of any studies which suggest that Ipod use or use of any other mp3 players, when played at normal volumes causes hearing loss or damage. However, if mp3 players are used at high volumes this could result in varying degrees of hearing loss.
