Hearing loss

I read alot of people here talking about hearing loss,but no one ever mentions headphones as a possible reason for the hearing loss...Headphones, ear phones,I see people with earplugs in all day long...I hear people saying you start losing your hearing at about 35. What's your opinion.

So I shouldn't wear my noise cancelling headphones while mowing the lawn?

Of course I'm listening to music on them.  Otherwise I'd use the hearing protection I use for rock concerts.  The music doesn't have to be (and isn't) super loud.  The noise cancelling doesn't completely eliminate the sound of the mower, but pretty close.  Amazing technology.  Nothing "audiophile" about the sound, but it is definitely better than walking around with heaphones on your head with nothing playing though them.
