Had lunch with a neurologist and neuroscientist today. The neurologist mentioned a scientific paper that shows the cortex of the brain has inhibited depth in people who habitually play loud music on ipods. He also said the incidence of industrial deafness is rising at a disturbing rate due to ipods and teen ignorance about the sensitivity of the inner ear to noise. (My generation certainly listened to loud music, but probably not as often as many young people do now).
He believes industrial deafness will be yet another lifestyle morbidity burden on public health care. And unlike diabetes type II and obesity, there's no cure.
