Homemade Noise-Cancelation Headphones: Safe?

[quote]So join me now for the latest episode of Tom’s Everyday Tech Myths, your one-stop resource for time diversion, scientific excursion, and mostly methodical immersion in the greatest technological questions of our time (or just the last four minutes). This week, we first embark on a quest to see exactly what one must do to wreck one’s hearing with loud music. Then it’s off to explore some DIY noise canceling headphones—a phrase Mom no doubt would have classified as an oxymoron. And if tech hasn’t rotted my ears, then perhaps it really has done a number on my brain. Could a computer really dose you with dangerous radiation? It’s time to find out.[quote]
