1) reduce or remove workouts that add strenuous pressure to your brain. Breathe more during workouts and lift moderately. 2) put the headphones away and don’t be so concerned abhi must listening to music or news as you walk or commute. 3) cut the treble from the car speakers and house speakers and use low to mid volume. 4) wear ear protective budz when you attend anything loud.
I'm fifty-four, and I wish I had protected my hearing more. I have tinnitus, and can barely hear out of my left ear.
Watch out for ear-pods and headphones. The body breathes through nose and ears. Don't block the route to vent
Not just volume loss. Tinnitus can range from irritating to maddening.
That explains why these young people don't listen when spoken to! 😂
Not just young people and listening devices. Want to know what else soo dam lound? Mortor cycles and those dam 3 wheelers. Don't know how they can get away with blasting music. You can hear that noise 3 or 4 blocks away.
So maybe they won't be so easily offended if they can't hear anything. Excellent!
You should put them on for your own safety I'm glad they were there to support them
They did it to themselves.
I'f they'd make the treble lower on the audio's auto-settings then it wouldn't matter if kids listened to it loud. its the high-pitched treble that harms ur ears & the presets are ridiculously high. U have to get an equalizer app just for it to NOT sound like nails on chalk. They started doing this with the unnaturally high treble about 10 years ago. I have very sensitive ears so I have to turn the treble all the way down just to watch TV talk to someone on the phone much less listen to music. I used to actually be able to go to concerts before they changed the treble presets on the speakers. Now I'd never be Able to go to one. I know my sensitivity is not what most experience but it's forced me to find the answer to the solution. Get rid of high TREBLE and the actual VOLUME doesn't matter as much.
meta analysis, and WHO – nonsensical
Most artists have plugs in their ears to keep the utter noise out. Especially rock bands.
The Speaker arrays that are on the scaffolding above is amplified for the people in the back to hear.
Fact is in order to continue doing more shows & be in the studio longer, you have to keep your hearing protected.
