The UK Online News "Times Online" (www.timesonline.co.uk) has reported a
study by an organization called Deafness Research UK that suggests young
people who constantly listen to personal stereos through headphones are
permanently damaging their hearing much sooner than their parents did.

I hope it comes _much_ sooner to the idiots with 2000 watt subwoofers
in their cars. Maybe if dad is always saying "huh?" that strange
cultural abomination will go the way of dad's hearing. Here in
Mexican Santa Cruz, CA it's about every third car now. Took the place
of the jumping shocks, itty bitty wheels, and the other extreme, the
100 lb spinner wheels that were literally killers on the road. Odd
tastes, those folk.
