UK researchers are launching a mass participation study asking people to do an online hearing test to find out if modern life has been harming our ears.

An estimated one in six adults in the UK has at least some hearing loss.

But it is not clear what role environmental factors, such as listening to amplified music, play in this.

The Medical Research Council wants people young and old to take part to answer this question.
