Marm, I remember Thin Lizzy - but they did not interest me much regrettably. America - I had great hopes of them, but they seemed to fizzle out quickly - or so...
Andy, The reason I brought up Thin Lizzy wasn't because I was at one of their small concerts. During those days, small concerts were "small". I didn't realise...
Hi, this is mainly to Marmalade J, but also to everyone on the list, You may remember that a few days ago, I said that I simply could not listen to many...
Yes, thanks for the warning. Good mechanics protect their ears when doing loud jobs, many sounds are too loud for the good of the ears. Take, for instance, the...
Cindi, that bass player I told you about - was filmed in a basement club where he used to play and found an old Amp head there - it was 250watts. He said -...
Andy, it is possible that your ears are rather susceptible to extreme noise. Certainly mine are too, I have been to doctors to figure out what's going on in my...
Hi Andy, Your shareing this.. while it's quite true, sadly is too late for most of us as some level of physical damage has already been done. Further ones...
Jimbo, I am glad that you had such joy at hearing beautiful sounds for the first time in your life. This does not mean, however, that the levels some music is...
I was not suggesting hi levels of sound are good in any way.. Actually, previously I had to play music a bit louder to be able to get it and even then I really...
Hi Cindi. I don't read any of your comments as holier than thou, or in any way snobbish. I read them as what we call "common sense". The habit of destroying...
Hi Jimbo, I'm sorry to hear of your hearing loss. Whilst I don't know of the makes and types of speaker system of which you speak, I'm glad that you have found...
For those interested, here is some more information about noise levels and how long it takes for hearing to be affected. http://www.abelard.org/hear/hear.php ...
That is it -exactly. But I also take seriously what Jimbo said about re-training one's "processor". I have now remembered that when I was first tested they...
Hi Andrew, I'm not sure why this post was mainly for me, but I would like to say that I didn't realise how deep the pain was for you in terms of your hearing...
Andy, No need to feel sorry for my hearing loss.. :-)).. Actually the bulk of it occurred at birth or whenever and truthfully I never really truly understood...
MJ For the record.. hearing loss is not really associated with getting older.. While it shows up that way it's not the cause.. It just seems to go with the...
Jimbo, since you are hearing better, it could be that certain circuits of the brain are compensating and you have activated them by your new sense of hearing,...
Hi Mj, Yes, what I have Learned his week, is that not only does one lose the higher frequencies, but that they still reverberate the ear drums etc., but in a ...
Hi Jimbo, I re-assured by your positivity. I regret that I have no real knowledge of AC/DC - apart from the tenuous connection with Hayseed Dixie. However -...
Hi Andy, What I was trying to say was that the "hair" cells are not those before the ear drums but after. They pick up the sound signals and transmit the logic...
Andy and all As a former soundman and acoustic multi-instrumentalist, I would love to add some info to this string. While running the board at a festival or a...
Andy, Let me tell you an experience I had and this was some twenty over years ago and I hardly told anyone. I was in London during a hot summer season. Late in...
Thank you, Jim. I am so glad you mentioned this. The sad part about it is that the "masses," and that includes me, were not warned about protecting our ears...
Jim, that is why I say I am blown away by different types of music. I am thrilled by certain music, perhaps I think too much of myself when I think certain...
You hit on something here close to home. I was trained as an opera singer. I enjoyed singing, and still do, folk music as well as some classical tunes. It is...
Jimbo <<I'm a very lucky person.. I have a few good coaches.. I keep learning, growing and evolving..>> I find it amazing and wonderful that you have met...
I am assuming you are correct, MJ. Which is why other circuits can be used in the brain to substitute for "normal" functioning. Isn't the brain a wonderful...
