I pity those of the Gen X and Gen Y years who'll discover or are discovering exactly the same problems at a much younger age, when I start to see the difficulty my 87-year-old father has adapting to his new hearing aids. You may scoff at my words, but what you do not know can most definitely harm you in this particular case.
The problem with hearing loss is that it's permanent. And since those of the younger generations are listening to music at levels that make their homes quake and their cars shake, the damage they're inflicting upon themselves will occur much faster than it did for my father's generation or even that of the baby boomers. If this is happening to you, you'll find however no magic cures - no tablets, no surgery - that will boost your ability to hear. Injury to the ears from constant exposure to loud music ensures that you will experience irreversible hearing loss.
Relating to HeadWize, a headphone resource site, 'Two types of hearing damage may be a consequence of exposure to loud noise: sensorineural hearing loss and tinnitus. Sensorineural hearing loss happens in the inner ear when high-energy sound waves, rippling through ear liquid, overstimulate and kill hair cells. When hair cells for a band of frequencies are damaged, those frequencies are no longer seen. In addition to coming to the frontline of the cochleal sensor array, the high-frequency hair cells will also be one of the most sensitive. It is maybe not astonishing, then, that noise-induced hearing loss generally begins with the high frequencies in the 3kHz-6kHz range.'
Tinnitus, to the other-hand, refers to a lasting - as in endless - ringing or buzzing sound in your head. You will have to learn to live with it, once tinnitus or hearing loss occurs.
Hearing aids are the only treatment you will have at your disposal because science, at this stage, is unable to handle this science has yet to find a way to change those fine hairs in your inner ear called cilia. Once the cilia have now been damaged, there's no change. The problem with hearing aids, however, is the fact that in amplifying the sounds you want to hear, they also amplify external noise you don't want to hear.
However, the usage of headphones can also be adding to this problem since listeners often increase the amount in their headphones which causes a lot more harm than that from external loudspeakers.
While there are a host of emotional and physical problems that will result due to hearing loss, one of many problems I've discovered is a decrease in socialization by those unable to hear. treatment for hearing loss. My children held a small gathering recently at a very noisy restaurant. My father is normally very social and out-going but, in this specific situation, was unable to partake in the dialogue between my brothers and me. It had been sad to see him sitting there perhaps not knowing what we were talking about..
All generations do stupid things in their adolescent years but this specific stupid thing has irrevocable consequences. For your sake of your reading, turn it down!
