If I understand correctly the damage to ears will still occur even once

it's
converted back to WAV.



I did not know that (in best Johnny Carson voice).

All MP3s are effectively converted back to .wav before we hear them.

There's
no way to avoid doing that.

(It makes sense if what they are saying is correct).


Don't bet on it being correct. It looks to me like a classic snake oil
pitch. The article makes a number of true, well-known statements expressed
in slightly obscure ways, and then starts turning crazy a little at a

time.


It made sense to me. I have severe nerve damage in lots of places due to
cancer of the spinal cord and other things and you'd be surprised what all
can go wrong when things don't work like they should or the right signals
are doing what they're supposed to. What I got from reading it was more or
less "use it or lose it". IOW, if we are only "feed" things that have the
"trimming and filling in" done then we'll lose our natural ability to do so.
I can definitely tell you this is how nerves function. And not just the
major motor ones.
