Ever find yourself sitting at a red light and all you can hear is the base of a sound system coming from another car? I mean you can actually feel the vibrations of the noise they call music. I never have been able to understand how someone could actually be enjoying whatever it is they are listening to, but to each their own. I do know that some day in the future those individuals will be wondering what everyone else is saying because they will be deaf.
Now I could write a whole article, loaded with facts and figures of how different levels of sound can damage a persons ears, but reading the truth is never as powerful as seeing the proof. So I decided to offer both, statistical numbers, and video proof of what loud sounds can do. What you will see in the video below is the effects a cars powerful audio system has on a girls hair.

plugging your ears won’t fully protect you from the lower frequency base conducting through your bones, she might be sorry!

WHAT?
I wish I would have known that in my youth!
Seems that loud music blew the hair off my head!:)
I never got the video and I’m not going to pull my hair out over it.
Please speak louder. I can’t hear you.
Yes, you read correctly. Listen to music that is too loud and you can damage your ear drum. Any questions?
Actually, it does not even need to be very loud. It is enough for me to hear a speech from Obama - even at very low volume - and all of the hair on the back of my neck stands straight up.
An ear-nose-and-throat doctor once told me that he expects business in the future to be "fantastic."
mid range sounds are spelled C-A-R-P and the upper range sounds are spelled T-R-O-U-T.
Thats as good a reason as any to explain the hair problem:O)
