Okay, I've always been worried about my hearing. Headphones are not good for your hearing; or perhaps, ABUSE of headphones is REALLY BAD for your hearing. There's a great article on the headwize site about headphones and hearing loss.
Because I was reasonably careful during my rock-n-roll days, I didn't suffer hearing loss. I had a complete audiology exam a year or two ago: above average hearing. That makes sense around the house; I always hear the baby cry first. Today, I heard my PalmPilot quiety playing music across the house.
I will need to get used to the headphones. Right now they are kind of uncomfortable. I know I am not playing them too loud. At the volumes I am playing them, they are quieter than my piano during practice in terms of dB exposure. They are even quieter than a noisy restaurant.
I'll keep monitoring the situation; don't want to hurt myself. It is certainly easier to listen analytically with a good pair of headphones.

About Me
- Some Guy
- I blog about music and hobbies and whatever happens to be going on at the moment. I don't use my real name here at the suggestion of the EFF. I mean, you know what happens to people who use their real names in blogs, right? Their kids are abducted and murdered, they get fired from their jobs... you see stories about them on CNN. But you know who I am, don't you?
