The Consumer Electronics Association has just released a report on the audio market that reveals that found that 67% of consumers say they believe audio is an important part of their life and that almost half (48%) report they are always listening to some form of audio content however most say they are listening to less audio than in the past.

Overall audio consumption — whether music (73%), television shows, news or information sources (68%) — is a large part of consumers’ day-to-day lifestyle. But, the study found, consumers appear to be listening less than they were three years ago.
