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.

"I am a chiropractor and can verify the fact that speed bumps will absolutely mis-align the tiny bones in the ear..."

Is there any real evidence of this?

It would be interesting to know how much shock (in G force and duration) a typical speed bump exerts on the ear compared to jogging, playing basketball, etc. I'm not sure this issue is worth getting our audiophile feathers ruffled over.
