Hearing loss

Always good to limit one's exposure to overly loud sounds.. but one must also remember that there is natural loss of high frequencies as we age. Teenagers are taking advantage of this fact now with their 17KHz ringtone, which the average person over 30 cannot hear. http://graphics10.nytimes.com/images...ng-graphic.gif In my case I road a motorcycle for 25 years and that didn't help. Given that I always have several receivers running, and am constantly testing new everythings, detectors, filters amplifiers etc, I have managed to connect to a receiver that is running way too high an audio level several times. And the two worst events are when the people next door use their food blender, a noise source from hell, and when an amplifier that had been stable for years decided to turn into a loud CPO. 5 Watts of audio is a little loud via the headphones. I also use something similar with my Minimus 7 speakers after blowing a "woofer", somehow a 4" driver just doesn't feel like a woofer, when I got a little distracted and fed 40W of white noise into it. It was only painfull for a moment. Years ago a friend got the bright idea to connect his El Cheapo Tandy stereo headset to his Marshall guitar amp. He didn't know that the typical HiFi has a ~200 ohm resistor in series so he fired up the amp, put the phones on and played a lick. Called me to complain about how low the volume was. I went over and found the back of the earphones discolored from the heat of the fried little speakers. He was very lucky, God does sometimes look out for fools and children. His amp was rated at something like 400W. And it had 4 pairs of push pull output tubes. I can remember what TV horizontal output transformers sounded like, from maybe 25 years ago. I don't know if they are still as noisy. A local swanky clothing store had egg frier ultrasonic intrusoin detector that used to hurt when I walked in. I dpn't miss 15K and up but I really miss the 8 to 10K range. Terry |

SC,it sounds like a few days ago in another thread you said my house
sucks. Really though,I am not going to be guessing at what causes my tinnitus.(if in fact that is what it is) Sooner or later I will go to the G.V. ''Sonny'' Montgomery VA Medical Center on Woodrow Wilson Blvd and let them check it out.Or I might go to Dr.Harrison's Ear Nose and Throat Clinic in down town Jackson.That is where I went the day after Tuesday just before Christmas last year. Of course if I go to the VA Center,I might as well get some free blue and green and brown contact lenses too for whenever I get to dressing up like a woman. cuhulin |

And those were the 'stereo' amps, weren't they? dxAce Michigan USA |

Hearing loss
My first tv set I bought for $25.00 with some of my mowing yards money
back in the mid 1950's was a second hand RCA black and white metal cabinet table model tv set.It worked fine for the first few weeks and then the picture would start blinking off.I would reach over slap the side of the tv set and it would work ok again for a few minutes. cuhulin |
