Is this a myth or what

[Richie12345]

Listening to music very loudly regularly (sp?), heard (ok, read ) that you could go deaf. Is this true cuz my ears are ringin right now, lol

 

[beagle_lovergirl]

That's what I've been told!

 

[Jim1927]

Huh? You talking?

Cheers,

Jim

Yup, it's true. I've been around louder noises for a little while now and it kind of seems like my hearing is a little bit worse than it was.

Too much loud anything will destroy your hearing. Im almost deaf in one ear from shooting with no hearing protection.

My Mom was an industrial RN for years. She also did the hearing testing that had to be done twice a year. She could tell who listened to music loudly in the car and whether they were a passenger or the driver by the amount of hearing loss that registered.

my ex said what what..what everytime i said anything..drove me freaking nuts..his hearing loss was loud music, plain and simple. i am soft spoken and speaking up to where he could here me from anywhere besides two feet away just got too hard. No one wants to feel like they have to shout everything they say.

Yup !!! Want a good medical profession , go the onicology ( sp? ) way !!! Indy would be a good area with the boom boxes here !!!

Totally true. Between kennel barking and the shows I go to, my hearing isn't what it used to be.

 

[joce]

Its true in most case.My bf works at a stereo shop,his car is and has been a demo car for years but its caused no damage! We figured its because he was already half deaf from an accident when he was little.

We learned about it in class but I can't remember if it was the bass or the actual loudness that did more damage.

what?

I've been going to rock concerts since I was about 11. My hearing is just as good as it used to be. I wonder how long that will last. lol

 

[Martine]

True, my ex used to stand next to the speakers at rock concerts and he got permanent tinitus (very loud ringing in his ears) and they said it was a direct result of the loud music.

When my neighbor come home from work all I can hear is the Booming Bass from his truck.....it rattles my windows!! His ears won't last long !

I cant express how much I hate that. It makes me want to walk up and sock em in the chops. It isnt cool, its stupid. If there were emergency vehicles they wouldnt know, if they were having engine problems they wouldnt know. Every time some one drives by me with a blazing stereo I just point at and say "hey look Karen! A moron in his natural habitat!"

I think the communities should get every abled bodied person together that hates those booming racket boxes and make a task force. The task force would grab these offenders who dont give a darn about anyone else and put them in a room then crank as loud as the stereo can go a bunch of opera, country, classical and any other music that they cant stand for about 12 hours

Sorry for the thread hijack. Grammy struck a nerve

 

[bubbatd]

Right on !!!! When I'm at a red light , I have to raise all my windows...not just for me, but I know it hurts Chip's ears !!

My Mom just turns on her own music, puts the volume on high and starts singing at the top of her lungs.

 

[Renee750il]

If the grrrrls are in the car with me when we pull up at a light next to someone like that they bark . . . not that I'd encourage them to ruin someone's enjoyment of their music, lol! For some reason, though, those two big heads sticking out of the sunroof raising Cain seem to make an impression . . . and the noise is all going right over my head

lol its funny you say that because I was at a Velvet Revolver concert last night and standing right next to the speakers.

I always stand next to the speakers and try to have a conversation with somebody, it's kinda funny
