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.

Slipknot1 asked: "Will our MD's on the forum PLEASE weigh in on this one?"

I am not an MD (although I do train them) but it is my background in anatomy, physiology and neuroscience that moved me to ask for any evidence for this heretofore unknown phenomenon.

I'm with you Kal. I was hoping an ENT specialist would jump in to refute such nonsense. But, given your background, I'll take your word for it.
