hearing loss from compressed music

Strange and, in my opinion, unwarranted speculation.

If it's rock music, it also causes drug use, satanism, and general moral decay. Probably brain damage, too, which is why I still like it.

Interesting, even though I am not qualified to prove the concept one way or the other.

I understand the point about data compression and losses. Certainly I hate the effect that process has on music quality. Consider too, until VERY recently, every sound perceived by human beings since the beginning of time was analog.

If this guy is right, it would not be the first time we altered our environment in a way that damaged our health and well being.
