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.

@larsman Thanks.

I appreciate your sharing. I guess its something to consider.

 

Blessings,

P.B.

Hi,

I suppose there is a correlation between sustained hi decibel headphone listening 

But let's consider another angle;

I for one am grateful for the evolution of headphones over the last 10 or so, years.

I am 74 years old, so obviously have lost some hearing acuity. I also have a slight tinnitus condition in my left ear.

Today's TOTL headphones allow me to continue to hear details & nuances, in the music that I would otherwise miss in listening to speakers.

 

 Hi @larsman 

I keep telling myself that my hearing hasn't diminished far enough to warrant hearing aids. (but I really know better...LOL).

My wife would advocate for the aids.............
