Originally posted by trev33I think it's like eating super hot (spicy) foods, after a while, you don't notice you don't have any taste buds left and have to eat super hot to taste anything. Same with people who listen to super loud and fast, too much aural input ruins the ears. I once saw the Paul Butterfield blues band in Florida at a bar, sat in front right next to one of the large speakers and after the show my ears rang for 3 days, literally. Imagine people doing that for years on end. What's that? Can you speak up, you're mumbling.......
