and I will, is how wise his approach for volume is. If you read some of the posts here (and the rest of AA) you might think that some of the inmates have hearing problems because of the SPL volume they listen to 'because that's the way you do it if you are a true audiophile'.
If you follow this concert level hogwash you will punish your ears to do it, and as you grow older you have to turn it up even more for the same effect. It's a bunch of crap. Protect you precious hearing.
Example - don't use a vacuum 1st thing in the morning and when you do vacuum use ear plugs. Sustained levels of any kind of volume will take its toll and you will have tinnitus and hearing loss. Don't find out when its too late to fix it because you can't 'fix it'.
