Speed bumps as a cause of hearing loss.


Have any members driven over a "speed bump" (these are the elevated paved bumps to force you to drive slower)while listening to the car stereo and immediately noticed a hearing loss(distortion, high frequency loss and level decrease)? I am a chiropractor and can verify the fact that speed bumps will absolutely mis-align the tiny bones in the ear so music sounds terrible afterwards, write your city councilman about these. I have to slow to less than 5mph in order to prevent this governmental assault and battery.

after that bit with the "expanding universe" i think mint smoked some bad s#!t.
i dont know but i think the whole theory is out to lunch,i have a 2 hour a day commute (each way) & i end up driving about 15,000 miles a year for work plus i ride my harley's another 6,000 to 8,000 miles each year .

out of all the miles ive driven ive hit just about every thing under the sun,speed bumps,pot holes,dogs,cats,deer,a mattress & even a bum on 8 mile & i have never experienced any adverse affect to my hearing.

btw mint,i whole heartedly believe in chiropractors & i visit mine monthly but he has never tweaked my ears & frankly im not sure how i would respond if he tried playin around with my ear.
