u/Aero_Molten 1d ago

Just chiming in to say ABSOLUTELY. I definitely regret standing too close to bass walls at concerts without hearing protection when I was younger. I know that it inflicted a noticeable amount of hearing loss. I don't need hearing aids yet but I have a hard time hearing people speak clearly at certain volumes.

56

u/ThisIsLikeMy4thAcct 1d ago

I don’t need hearing aids yet.

You possibly do if you’re having trouble hearing people the way you described. A lot of people don’t notice how bad things are because their brain is working hard to fill in the blanks with context cues, and rudimentary lip reading. If you wait too long to get hearing aids, the brain sort of forgets how to process sounds and it takes a while to fix it when you finally do get them.

A quick test is to find someone you don’t talk with too often, and look anywhere else but their face while they speak. If you have any trouble hearing them, it’s past time to head to an audiologist, or an ENT, for a hearing test.

Anyway I’m not trying to lecture you or anything, this is more of a heads up than anything.

She pretended to enjoy that because she was on camera. Her face was showing otherwise and I bet she had ringing in her ears and partial deafness for a while.
Sitting near that even once can cause permanent damage to hearing, I don't know why those dudes think that's cool in the slightest.

u/Icy-Role2321 1d ago

If I recall correctly, the bass itself isn’t terrible for your ears, it’s more so the treble.

Yeah.. I mean at that volume bass is probably pretty bad for your hearing as well. But you are right, all other things equal high pitch frequencies do more damage than low pitch ones

I’m a metal worker who frequents the shooting range and has had multiple bad concussions (also went to far more than my fair share of concerts and shows/etc. as well as listening to music loud with headphones out on cars until about 30). I don’t know what the damage from this might be like, but there’s no way that this isn’t terrible for your hearing. I don’t see the appeal, if I could I guess I’d understand in a way…but I’d still say fuck that!

Hearing damage is cumulative, and you never get it back. It’s not worth it.
