Cumulative effects of this are loss of perception. (just as though
you stared at the sun directly all day! how's your vision now?)
nice point. the thing about hearing loss is that it is typically not
something you notice deteriorating (except in the case of various
kinds of trauma); it's not like a muscle that suddenly hurts or that
you can feel getting "out of shape", or like a cut on your skin that
you can watch bleeding and healing (or getting infected). any
changes that occur do so at such slow pace that most people simply
get used to them without noticing. and unfortunately, contrary to
muscle pain and cuts, once the ears start to go they typically stay
gone. some exceptions occur of course, my tinnitus is far less
obtrusive than it was in the past, and some tinnitus sufferers manage
to escape it entirely (after years of care).
let me go now and play the other half of that "Music to Listen to
Mozart By" CD I was not really listening to while I was having a
cell phone conversation in my car about the playstation game I was
playing (between e-mails on my blackberry) while I was driving on my
way the Apple store to have them fix my iPod before I suffer from
another attack of overstimulus deprivation.
sorry what were you saying? i was 3-way skyping while you were talking.
actually i had something like that happen once for real: my aunt was
driving, talking to me, her son in the back and someone on the phone
at the same time, while pissing with the radio... she was surprised
to find out later her kid had ADD.
