Have you ever noticed that the average teenager is immune to
distortion as long as they can have the volume up full blast? With
those earplugs we are going to have a lot of early deaf people. My
granddaughter tried to show me what she was listening to by
plugging her earplugs into my ear and I recoiled in pain.
Progress???
NOted the same thing myself, with my daughters back in the
'80's, my step grandkids and my grandson.

Did enough damage to myself back in the '60's and '70's with
headphones before I really learned what it was all about,
but thank the good Lord I learned while I can still hear.

It was Disco's in the 70's that turned me away. My love life suffered
since I absolutely would not dance in front of those way too loud live
bands. Even at the far end it was hard to hear while playing pool and
trying to score with a certain waitress who looked like Farrah's little
sister. 58 and the ears still work fine.

Amazing how much tape is on a 10" reel when it's not.

Heh,
Yeah, I accidentally unspooled one on my floor due to a recorder
malfunction and, umm, wow, what a mess. Worse yet it was a new tape.
