All that automatic weapons fire didn’t do our hearing any favors either.

Motorhead gave me tinnitus in 1985. Where are my reparations? ;)

The same with this generation of boom box, bass-thumping rappers. Every car car a stop light with a kid thumping the bass gives me a giggle.
They will fare worse than rockers.

Cream came to LA's Shrine Exposition Hall (next to the famous Auditorium) in 1967 or '68. I stood right next to Eric Clapton's giant floor speaker.
I've brightened up some since then.

Nowadays the high-watt woofers rattle the windows in my house when cars pass and I’ve been wondering what kind of damage could be done to the rap-music listeners considering their speakers are emitting enough energy to rattle the windows in my house or does low-frequency noise do no damage?

Some hearing loss can be attributed to other factors. For example, when I was a kid, it was a right of passage so to speak to contract the measles, chicken pox and the mumps. Later it was found out that those childhood diseases can cause or contribute to hearing loss.

LOL! I remember reading something maybe 15 or 20 years ago: some British researchers wanted to do a long-term study of the effects of aging on hearing, but they couldn’t find enough 18-year-olds with normal hearing to start with! (They blamed loud music!)

Hmmmm.
Maybe this explains why Boomers can’t hear bin Laden’s words that the fight is in Iraq, and that they will kill all of us.....

Funny that they would print this today. The New York Times should be celebrating!
WCBS 101.1 FM is Back on the Air!
"Jack" has hit the road!
Baby Boomers can celebrate that their music once again has a home in NYC.

(ringing in the ears) I know when I got that. We had finished dove hunting and I had taken my earplugs out for the day. We were cleaning birds on a tank dam and my cousin saw two birds coming. He fired without warning. My left ear has had ringing ever since.

I stood right next to Eric Clapton's giant floor speaker. So do you lip read, or use sign language?
