Hearing loss

[Da Yayologist]

How many of y'all earz are fucked from loud-ass music and concerts and have problems hearing and/or have tinnitus (ringing in the ears) & pain?
I was just peeping the thread about car speakers and y'all are worrying about whether the system will blow out or overload, shit, your ears will probably die first. Damn, I sound like a muthafuckin' PSA.

Yup..always happens to me. Then when you come home and go to sleep you still hear those sounds in your ears.

Yea, I listen to music at way lower levels now to save my ears. You get wiser with age.

Well...my system hits at over 150db...so I know my ears are wrecked.

I can hear O.K. and all, but sometimes when I'm watching TV, my ear drum shakes with the music in the background.

That's probably not good.....
