First off, an HUGE CONGRATS to the Portland Timbers for winning their very first home game at JWF tonight against Chicago. It was an awesome game, I loved watching it and look forward to watching much more. Plus I need to get my hands on a jersey and one of those wicked awesome scarves! RCTID!
Second, Deathly Hallows pt. 1 is out on DVD/Blu Ray in less than 2 hours and I'm not at the store waiting...seriously WTF is wrong with me?? UGH :/ chock it up to another reason I need my damn license! But I will get DH pt 1 tomorrow, so it will still count, right? :P
And finally third....I watched the show called The Doctors today. They discussed hearing loss due to loud music, mostly from rock concerts but also the increase in hearing loss since iPods came about. I admittedly LOVE to listen to my music loud. But I didn't know how loud my music actually was until i did some research. Thanks to seeing the show I found out that my earbuds produce 102dB's. and over a prolonged period of time it can cause gradual hearing damage. And i will also admit that every now and then after listening to my maxed volume music for a few hours I do experience some ringing in my ears for awhile afterwards. I found out that the point in which hearing damage becomes an issue is at 85 dB's. And furthermore, the headphones I use on my computer produce 103 dB's which for just 1 MINUTE can cause permanent hearing loss! After researching all this I set a volume limit on my iPod. Researchers said that you just have to crank it down to 80% to save your hearing. While yes I like it loud, I like to feel as well as hear the music, I want to be able to listen to music for a very very long time. I've realized that if I don't turn it down I put myself at risk to lose my hearing all together. and that is something I do not want to ever experience. Instead of playing it loud, its time to play it just loud enough.
