      I got another question in about hearing damage on the moviecrypt podcast I listen to every week. A sad example is set yet again on the ignorance and lack of awareness and education. The guest is Ace Von Johnson from metal band "Faster Pussycat".

      Right! That's probably because your brain wants this nightmare to be over with as soon as possible. Ignorance is a bliss!

      I'm not sure I'd draw this one up as ignorance and lack of awareness. If anything, it sounds like he knows exactly what he's doing and deciding to go ahead and do it anyways, in spite of knowing the risks associated with it, and in spite of having the necessary tools to protect himself.

      Of course, what he doesn't seem to know is that he may not just get "moderate hearing loss", but something else out of this world. That part he seems to be oblivious about, but the hearing damage he is well aware of.

      Exactly...a but of hearing loss is nothing, but T on the contrary...very sad that awareness is so lacking.

      Drink driving - check
      Seat belts - check
      Unprotected sex - check
      Cigarettes - check
      Sugar - check
      Tinnitus - zero

      The reality is that society doesn't have to pick up the pieces with most T sufferers whose on,y way out is keeping themselves busy, hence productive.

      "if it doesn't sting it's not pure" wow.

      These guys think hearing loss just means you hear a little less.
