Teenagers going deaf 30yrs earlier than theri parents
"I. Care" wrote in message .net... 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. http://tinyurl.com/j3k4n I. Care Address fake until the SPAM goes away ;-} I saw Motorhead when I was about 19 once and it was so loud my ears were ringing and I couldn't hear much above about 800Hz for 3 days afterwards - I was getting seriously worried, even for a 19 year old - couldn't understand anything anyone was saying to me. I doubt you would get this kind of dangerous SPL live now, or at least I would hope not. Stupid, stupid. Gareth. |

I doubt you would get this kind of dangerous SPL live now, or at least I would hope not. Stupid, stupid. Yes. And so am I. I had a similar experience after seeing Bachman Turner Overdrive in Palo Alto, CA back in the 80's. I felt like I had earmufs over my ears for at least 2 days. I would conservatively estimate the sound at 130 dB SPL (unweighted), and my ears were fairly calibrated since I had a Radio Shack SPL meter at home with my Klipschorns back in those days. --RY |
