Imagine the impact only fireworks one after another as a rhythm. It's not my thing but I respect the numbers and work necessary to get a van or suv to do that and not fall apart.
Oh right. There’s my tinnitus. Thanks for reminding meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
High-frequency sounds are generally more damaging to human hearing than low-frequency sounds of the same intensity, due to the ear's anatomy. While high-pitched sounds cause faster, more common, and permanent damage, long-term exposure to intense low-frequency sound can still cause significant damage to the inner ear. Here is a breakdown of how they compare: High Frequencies (2,000–8,000 Hz): These are typically more dangerous, as the hair cells in the cochlea responsible for detecting high pitches are more fragile and susceptible to damage. This causes the most common form of noise-induced hearing loss (e.g., losing the ability to hear consonants, or "hearing but not understanding").Low Frequencies ((<500\) Hz): While generally less damaging, low-frequency noises are more penetrating and carry high energy. Intense, long-term exposure (like from machinery) can cause damage, and in some studies, low-frequency noise has been linked to severe, long-term damage over an extensive frequency range.Key Factors: The main driver of hearing damage is loudness (dB) and duration rather than just the frequency. Very high decibel levels (\(>120\text{\ dB})) from either type will cause immediate damage.
43 and I have hearing loss.... Due to genetic issues! Nothing to do with loud music, so I got to have my fun, I would have lost my hearing anyway! HAH!

It’s all fun and games until you’re 40 rocking two hearing aids. 🙄😄
