<p>Has there ever been a person more relentlessly energetic than Mike Bloomberg? The <em>New York Post </em><a href="http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/mayor_deaf_jammer_S37gCMR9xUDKw2vx9bjFVM?utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_content=Local">reports</a> that our outgoing mayor is launching yet another initiative in his ongoing campaign for clean living, and it's targeted to the young folks and their deafness-inducing earbuds.<!--more--></p>
<p>Oh, and clean your damn room while you're at it.</p>
<p>The <em>Post </em><a href="http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/mayor_deaf_jammer_S37gCMR9xUDKw2vx9bjFVM?utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_content=Local">says</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>Hizzoner’s health officials are planning a social-media campaign to warn young people about the risk of losing their hearing from listening to music at high volume on personal MP3 players, The Post has learned.</p>
<p>“With public and private support, a public-education campaign is being developed to raise awareness about safe use of personal music players . . . and risks of loud and long listening,” said Nancy Clark, the city Health Department’s assistant commissioner of environmental-disease prevention.</p></blockquote>
<p>Too bad there's no PSA campaign that'll turn down the volume <a href="http://news.consumerreports.org/health/2009/06/commuting-can-pose-a-hazard-to-your-hearing-hearing-loss-environmental-noise.html">on the subway platform.</a></p>
