My dad's penchant for listening to music way too loudly is finally catching up to him. I'm sure some of it is age as well, but really, I tried to tell him and he wouldn't listen, and now he needs a hearing aid.

That is too bad, but I am sure he knew there was a chance of this happening. It must be frustrating to watch though. Sad

I see a lot of teenagers blasting loud music into their ears all the time. Sometimes when you try to advise them, they'll think that you're just trying to spoil their fun.

I think the authorities should start "Say NO To Loud Music" campaigns to protect our younger generations from hearing loss.

Hi Hearing loss is a sad thing to folks that love music. I find it ironic that by the time we can afford really good gear - or at least can appreciate good music we are on the down slope of the hearing curve. Sad

Good Listening

You are talking like hearing loss is something inevitable that can't be prevented. It is totally within a person's control. You just have to ensure that you listen to music properly to protect your eardrums.

Hi, Unnecessary damage is preventable for sure, but loss due to aging is a factor with us dinosaurs.

To say hearing loss is totally preventable is to not understand the aging process. By the time you are 60, you will have noticeable loss (at least to a hearing professional). By the time you are 80, you will probably be 50% deaf. Even hearing aids will only aid, not restore with that many years.
