Hearing damage caused by prolonged use of headphones

28 June 2007 - 05:04 PM

About a year ago someone told me about how damaging headphones can be. Damage to your ears is basically permanent and news articles and other things also came out saying how ipods, and other mp3 users should beware of using headphones too much.

After getting this info from almost every where I went that week, I decided it probably would be a good idea to stop using headphones. haha But my love for music was too strong and a couple weeks later i was using head phones again.

Today in my physics lecture, (yes. im taking physics during the summer x . x  *kill me now*), we were learning about sound waves and about how humans can hear frequencies from 20 to 20,000 Hz. Our professor brought out a machine and let us listen to the frequency range. Not everyone could hear the higher frequencies, but most went pretty far.  

So after using headphones since the 7th grade (FYI a whopping total of 7 years), how damaged have by ears become?

Damaged to the point where I couldn't hear anything after a frequency of 11,000 Hz!!!  O.O!!  In other words. I've already lost about half of my hearing from my head phone use...... My best friend Ty, haha..ahh he heard everything pretty much and shook his head at me... tsk tsk tsk

Oh and you know those tuning forks that doctors will whack on a table and then ask you when you stop hearing it as he/she puts it behind your ears? .. yeah .. iiiiiiiiiii didn't know well with those either. 5 seconds after my friend whacked it and tried to put it behind my ear i couldn't hear it anymore. haha.

Aww man.. can i really give up DBSK, Utada Hikaru, Linkin Park, Fort Minor, N.E.R.D, and OMG! BOA!!!!! >.<  

I'm still thinking. How 'bout you?

[HELP] kdrama addict that can't watch anything more than 14 episod

SPOILERS start here!!!


the title says it all. I tried.. but i can't do it. I can't stay commited enough no matter how much i like the show to actually push myself to watch pass episode 14/15. ..... I usually do complete the drama. but at episode 14/15 i usually go to wikipedia or somewhere online and read the spoilers.

BUT GASP!!!! There's no spoilers anywhere for kdrama 1% of Anything (starring kang dong won and kim jung hwa)!

I know it sounds ridiculous but could someone tell me the ending of the story? im at the point where that horrible girl ju-heon comes back from the states and wont stop bothering Jae-in. WHAT HAPPENS NEXT???

so technically its not a matter of being commited or not, because i will finish it, im just impatient and must know what happens. hahah, its also not very helpful when i max out on my megaupload account. i cant watch if i can't dl episode. hehe.  Its a good drama though! I recommend!
