I went to check today's weather on weather.com and it came up in Celsius. WTF is up with that?

Same problem here! Is it the Canadians, the British, who....? Some insidious group is out to undermine The Weather Channel.

My bad ass sony cell phone turns the volume down automatically for me when im listening to music in my car, loud as hell.

 

HELLO, SONY, I DONT CARE IF I GO DEAF. i dont want to have to select "ok" to the warning, then put the volume back up again about once a week. (glad it doesnt happen everyday)

 

LET ME BE DEAF DAMMIT. I DONT CARE I DONT CARE.

They will have hearing aids in the future.

 

Right now I want to listen to music as loud as possible without blood dripping from my ears.

 

That was me and now I have a constant ringing in my ears. My hearing has suffered for sure. I don't listen nearly as loud and as often as I used to.

The housekeeper who comes to clean every two weeks won't wash any dishes in the sink.

I'd file for divorce!

It isn't about going deaf. They just want you to hear the sirens on that ambulance or firetruck so you don't slam into it and make matters worse for everybody else.

 

It is not all about you. :-P

I would cram my ear buds in my ears to get max volume. I only listen to it loud when I play drums or go to a live show. I sometimes crank it up in the car. I have a killer system in my car.

 

I suddenly lost my hearing during a gig. I was singing "Where the Streets Have No Name," and it was like someone just flipped a switch. No pain. Just pure static. Then it turned into hearing all lows and no highs. Went to an ENT specialist. Gave me a steroid. No help. This was about 10 years ago. Last year I went to an audiologist to discuss getting a hearing aid. Did some tests and my damage is nerve damage. All a hearing aid would do would be to amplify the muffled crap that I hear now. So there's nothing that can be done. It sucks, but I've adjusted.

Eh. I could think of worse things to stop working.

 

I just need to be strategic when talking to people. Like if I'm walking/talking, I need to make sure the other person is on my good ear side. Or at a dinner, I make sure that the person I'll be speaking to mostly is on my good side, and I just let the person on my bad side know that I might have to turn my head around to hear them because I don't hear well out of one ear. It could be a hell of a lot worse. I've never complained about it.

 

The ENT and audiologist said it's not definite that the music caused the damage; which is why I've never officially quit!
