Our noise-filled urban environments tax and often damage our hearing abilities. Jackhammers, lawn mowers, boomboxes, etc.etc.are likely to take their toll. But not all diminishments of our abilities to make sense of sound stimuli relate primarily to the "ears" as such. Sometimes there are degredations in processing abilities that compromise our understandings of the speech of others. In any case, it is very important to have competent medical personnel examine you.
How to tame...
Dear folks,
I love live music more than my rig or my music collection but lately I started feeling a hearing loss and almost stopped visiting concert venues. I observe it especially when talking over the phone having an effort to recognize spoken sentences and words and at a distance or when someone is not looking at me directly. Is there anything that I can use to tame the loudness at the concert venues? Is there anything I have to do at my work place since it's often getting hard to communicate with me especially over the phone?... Is there anything could be done besides getting a hearing aids at my age of 35?
