A Personal Note
I have been doing volunteer work for several years with elderly people with severe
hearing losses, and I have seen the frustration and anger that are brought on by these
losses. We now know that many of these people developed their hearing problems be¬
cause of exposure to high noise levels when younger.
Many home stereo systems, as well as audio/video, personal, and automobile
sound systems are capable of volume levels potentially damaging to your hearing.
Please use common sense, and listen to your music and movies at safe levels now so
you will still have the ability to hear and enjoy them in the future.
