I’ve been thinking that investing in hearing aid companies would be a good bet. When all the idiots with those big speakers in their cars playing rap music and it’s vibrating the windows of houses as the car goes down the street, there is no way that much energy pounding on their eardrums is not doing some damage.
Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, etc..........earphones....................
I've never figured out the huge price for hearing aids. Microphone, amplifier, batter, speaker and a little smarts to kill the feedback. Although it is in a small case, the individual parts are probably only a few bucks. Add a 10,000% mark up and you're still well under the current price.
