If I understand correctly the damage to ears will still occur even once
it's
converted back to WAV.

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.




Arny, I agree with you. Saying that MP3 compressed music is damaging to
ones hearing is like saying that listening to square waves will cause
deafness or listening to the AM portable radio will cause deafness. I do
know of one way to cause deafness. Stand on the flight line of a aircraft
carrier without hearing protection during takeoffs. That big roar will be
the last thing you will ever hear.
