I often witness people playing sound way louder than necessary. They just don't realize it. Headphones and earbuds on planes or in a noisy environment is a bad idea as you have to compensate for the louder than normal ambient noise. Amplified live music is a joke - always way too loud to enjoy. Even folks just sitting in front of their TVs often play the volume way louder than necessary. And when a police/ambulance/fire siren drives past, I seem to be the only one covering my ears. Gas-powered mowers/blowers without proper ear protection. I notice hearing loss causes like these everywhere. People are just oblivious to it all.
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.
