What would happen if you slept with a cd player on, headphones in ears, or with an iPod? Is it true that you can suffer memory loss from it, or go partially/fully deaf?

I have never heard of anything like memory loss resulting from anything like that. It is even proven that some music stimulates the brain causing it to develop while you listen. Many studies also say that music helps increase concentration. As far as hearing goes it depends on how high you have the volume. easy listening volume really shouldn't do damage although sometimes when you wake up you may feel temporarily "deaf" or maybe it feels like you can't hear as well, but your ears will re-adapt to outside sounds. Most CD Players/IPods/MP3s have a "Sleep" Function which will turn the music off after a certain amount of time thereby reducing the exposure your ears have to the sounds and also saving battery life thereby saving you/Your parents money.

If you slept with the music blaring it can damage your hearing. I have a hearing condition called Hyperacusis, which is acute hearing, i got mine from an accident, but many musicians get this from a damage to the auditory nerve in the ear, this is caused by loud music.
So if you have to have a ipod or cd playing the try having the sound real low.
And Hyperacusis, believe me you really really do not want acute hearing, where every sound is 10 times louder than any other normal hearing person can hear!

I don't think so, music relaxes people. especially classical ones. But with the headphones on the ears i don't think i'll be able to sleep coz it will not be comfortable. I think it you listen to hard rock music with your headphones on the ears with maximum volume, that would give you a headache and damage your ears a bit because of the constant ringing in your ears.

It's less about leaving the music playing, and more about how loud you play it. If you want to wear headphones to bed, you should be fine to do that, but go easy on the volume. I've never heard of memory loss from music playing, and never experienced it myself from sleeping with music. (of course, how would I know if I experienced memory loss, since I wouldn't remember it...?)

According to research, if you continuous listen to music with headphone for more than 4 hours, it will cause damage to your hearing. So, try avoid sleep with headphones music on.
Take care.

i don't know about the memory loss, but u can lose your hearing just from listening to music. if the music is too loud then you can lose your hearing. just try to take them off when you first get sleepy and keep the volume regular (not too loud!)

Hearing is most important than seeing, that's what I was told in my studies. When you don't see you can still communicate, and listen to music. But when you don't hear, you don't really realize what's going on, what is being spoken about.
So pay attention not to sleep with these devices.

Keep the volume down. Also why not get some speakers?

not unless you had it on really super insanely loud (which you probably wouldn't do anyway), but you can strangle yourself with the cords
