HE EATS, sleeps, watches television and even urinates – with his headphones on.
In fact, the only time 15-year-old student Roesdyanto Jumadi does not cover his ears with his headphones is when he is in class.
When asked why, he told my paper: "Music is my life partner. I can't stop listening to music, especially if the song is inspirational or if the beat is good."
Yet, as more youngsters don headphones for extended periods of time, it has raised concerns that such a habit may cause deafness or psychological disorders.
However, Dr Stephen Lee, specialist in ear, nose and throat surgery at Raffles Hospital, said that a teenager is unlikely to go deaf listening to music on headphones, unless he is exposed to loud music for a long, continuous period of time.
Dr Brian Yeo, psychiatric consultant at Mount Elizabeth Medical Centre, said that donning headphones persistently does not equate to having a psychological disorder.
He said: "We have to see how a person functions. If he doesn't do well academically, has problems socialising and also dons headphones all the time, then there is a high possibility that he is suffering from a psychological disorder.
"Otherwise, donning headphones for long spells is a sign that the person needs to feel like he is not alone – (a means of getting) a sense of security, basically. They turn to headphones because the music keeps them company."

How Minerals affect Height
In every human health book, you may notice that they are always listing the right dietary allowance for every individual, whatever the age, height and weight may be. We commonly see minerals, vitamins, carbohydrates, protein, fats and water in that recommended diet. But how can minerals help us if our aim is to grow a few more inches even after adolescence?
Minerals are organic substances that can almost be found anywhere on earth. But aside from being present in rocks, minerals are also present in the hardest part of the human body – the bones. Bones and teeth are composed largely of minerals. You may think that calcium is the only mineral necessary to promote bone growth and increase in height, but let me tell you that that is wrong. Other minerals needed by the body are chromium, chlorine, fluoride, iodide, iron, magnesium, phosphorous, potassium, sodium, sulfur and zinc. Phosphorous, iron, iodide and chromium all help in promoting growth. The rest makes bones stronger and make the body more limber. Visit here at, http://www.growth-flex.com/ .
For people who are aiming to gain at least two inches, they must make sure that they have the proper amount of these minerals. When I say proper, it means just enough. An excess of other may cause problems. For example, if you are taking in an iron supplement that has ferrous sulfate, the vitamin E in your body will be destroyed. These are some things to take note of.
Also, keep in mind that when utilizing a height increase program, you follow every instruction since each of these are crucial to your growth. Remember to drink growth boosters like Growth Flex V Pro system. Here you can get more info on height increase, http://www.growth-flex.com/ .
