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.
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.

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

@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! |
