Noise / Music Induced Hearing Loss

Hello Dr,

That would be a great piece of Info ...any more tips ...coz you gotta have healthy ears to listen to good music.or even the Nagra's or Avant garde's are of no use in your living room..keep it coming doc.........

yeah doc. and the 2KHZ to 6 Khz is perhaps the most important Band with regard to vocals and midband clarity ;)hence most high freq crossovers planned below it !

Beethoven & Mozart were seriously hearing impaired. Even Sting has a certain degree of hearing loss (learnt from a news daily).

So guys lower the volume please

Hi Doc,

Inability to hear well at 4000hz seems to be a foregone conclusion for most of us.

Now, how about finding a way of ensuring that your significant other’s vocal chords favour operating only at this frequency…

They can go so down below 20 Hz that you can't hear, and so high above 20 KHz which is beyond your comprehension. And, especially when they talk to their own species, they do so outside this audible spectrum.

Doc,

While I am all for introducing our better halves to the pleasures of hi-fi, I sincerely hope none of you gentlemen ever let them know of the existence of these fora.

Don’t think we would be left with any audible spectrum whatsoever…

sorry, ich kann zwar etwas englisch, aber teilweise steh ich auffm schlauch:

Hallo Jeder! Ich schreibe dieses, um Sie nicht zu erschrecken aber Sie gerade zu warnen. Verlängerte Aussetzung zum Ton über DB 90 kann Verlust der Hörfähigkeit verursachen. Dieses Aktie als Bad bei 4000 Hz, das bedeutet, daß die Empfindlichkeit der Ohren für Frequenz von 4000 Hz verringert wird. Gehen Sie so auf Ihren Ohren einfach - verwenden Sie "weichen Ausschnitt" Ich habe meine Frau, die ein Ohr-Chirurg ist überzeugt, einen Artikel auf dem Hören für die audiophiles zu schreiben. Bald erhalten Sie mehr Informationen über dieses. Glückliche Hörfähigkeit

Gentlemen,

Have we trod upon some dainty German toes!!

no, but its an, maybe interesting theme, and i'm depressive, because i don't understand the half of it...

Nobody has ever understood the halves that we are talking about .....

Sweetest things in the world, actually....

I read a fairly well-researched article once (don't remember where) that said the biggest culprit for hearing damage among music-listeners would be earphones playing music at high volume. Car speakers at high volume are nearly as bad. Earmuff-type headphones are a better option than earphones which are placed directly into the external auditory canal. From my personal experience, wearing earphones long hours have proved quite painful. I've stopped using them altogether.

Tower speakers in a medium-large listening area (eg. a hall) at a comfortable volume cause absolutely no damage to the ears.

Fortunately, I have no significant other... and probably the chap that wrote the article I'm referring to doesn't have one either! As big-ears pointed out, could they be the biggest cause of hearing loss ever? lol
