Hearing loss


I read alot of people here talking about hearing loss,but no one ever mentions headphones as a possible reason for the hearing loss...Headphones, ear phones,I see people with earplugs in all day long...I hear people saying you start losing your hearing at about 35. What's your opinion.

It would likely depend on what volume they're listening to them, wouldn't it?

If you live someplace where you can blast your speakers all the time, that will probably affect your hearing adversely, too.

I've been wearing hearing aids for about 15 years, but I'm 70 now.... 

Hearing aids, eyeglasses - it's all good! 

 

@pastorbob + 1 - do you wear hearing aids at all? I'm 70, and I've been wearing them for over 15 years.... 

@pastorbob - I agree with your wife; I think the first time you try them, if you ever do, you'll be saying 'why haven't I had these for the past 10 years?!'. Kinda like a myopic person putting on prescription eyewear for the first time. You don't know what you're missing until you hear or see what you've been missing! First time I got mine, I was just blown away, and like a hi-fi enthusiast, I keep upgrading them every few years! Now I've got in-ear ones that I can use with headphones, too!
