hearing loss from compressed music


I found this article on n mp3 website about digital compression for sound cusing possible ear damage. This might be enough for me to completly abandone mp3 which i have been using in place of radio for background music. Wht do you think?

This leads me to 4 questions:

1-Would upsampling mp3 media prevent "tin ear" and "tinitus"?

2-Would upsampling regular cd media improve hearing?

3-Does SACD and DVD-A improve hearing?

4-Does vinyl degrade hearing as well?
