Protect your beautiful ears and prevent hearing loss!

I’m always fascinated by cool timing, deja vu, coincidences, and that sort of thing. After posting an article a couple of days ago on the self help blog, I came across an article on the Daily Mail about protecting your ears and preventing hearing loss. Timing, most definitely cool.

In the article, an ear specialist/surgeon addressed the question, “Will loud music damage my ears in the long term?”  The doctor’s answer:

Yes. Listening to loud music for a prolonged period overstimulates and can eventually kill the hair cells in the inner ear. The human ear is not designed to hear noises above 85dB (decibels), yet the average rock concert is 120dB. Source: Daily Mail

When you see the words, “kill the hair cells..” it really grabs your attention, doesn’t it? If something’s killed, it’s damaged and destroyed forever.  Killing, definitely uncool. We should all keep that in mind when listening to tv and the radio in our cars.    You might want to pass this link along to the young people in your life.  Remind the music-lovers that they can either start investing in good hearing today or they can start saving money for the hearing aides they’ll one day need.

    I still recall all the concerts I went to as a teen as well as the bands I played in as well. My ears would always be ringing for several hours afterwards. It’s a good thing that by the time I was in my twenties, I started wearing ear filters during concerts and such. I understand that many rock musicians, members of The Who for example, have lost much hearing in one or both ears.

    The actual hearing loss is caused by damage to fragile tissue within the cochlea. This fragile tissue is called hair cells and they move with the fluid in the cochlea to stimulate the electrical impulses in the auditory nerve. Temporary hearing loss or ringing in the ears is a sure fire sign of temporary hearing issues which, if not addressed might result in permanent hearing loss.

    Loss of hearing or the possibility of it happening is an omnipresent danger in today’s world of loud music & other high decibel noises. The damage to inner ear hair cells can cause weird, irksome problems like ‘recruitment’ where the output of an already loud noise is increased exponentially causing discomfort to the person. It is quite prudent to not take our hearing for granted otherwise we will have to depend on hearing aids for sure.

    Thanks for sharing this advice. I had no idea that listening to loud music could cause such extensive damage. I’ll be sure to limit the loudness of my music next time I’m in the car. It’s not worth it to risk your hearing!
