You are so young and I am so old, Ted...
I have to write without Google Translator now, sorry, if my English is very bad today...
Stress can cause, that people suddenly cannot hear on an ear anymore some day, similiar to the heart attack, and then a stay in a hospital is necessary immediately, before the ear can be damaged permanently, but hearing-aids cannot always be avoided after that. It can happen to older and also to younger people. I myself can only hope, that it will never happen to me...
At my PC I listen to SHOUTcast Radio with the loudspeakers, although I can turn them only to 4 and not to 10, because we have neighbors in the house. My husband wants to listen, too, if he is sitting at his PC in the same room. If we play our Synthesizers in our studio, then we use our Beyerdynamic DT-990 Pro, and in the night I have to pay attention, that I am singing not too loud...
The cassette walkman came out Winter 1980/1981 and the in-ear-phones Summer 1983. These in-ear-phones were terrible enough, but the earbuds, which came out a few years ago, are more terrible, and I never want to use them. Many people are using them, but some people are still using real on-ear-headphones instead of in-ear-phones or earbuds. You are right, Ted, hearing aids will be as common as eyeglasses due to this general trending. I myself got my first and only one cassette walkman with real headphones December 1981...
http://www.petervis.com/walkmans/San...nyo_M4440.html I used my walkman 5 years. The last repair Spring 1988 was not successful, then nobody wanted to repair it anymore and I refused to buy a new walkman, because I didn't want to throw the old one on the waste. I was without music outside until June 2012. Today I have my MP3s with me (currently 2337 songs, 339 artists and 332 albums), and I still use real headphones (for outside these are the Sennheiser PX-100ii now) and no in-ear-phones and no earbuds...
The cassette walkman... It's "Retro Technic" now, and I still don't know, where the new thread about "Retro Technic" (Radio, TV & Co, but also City Trains & Busses) should be opened, in General Discussions oder in The Bitchlist...
Music helps me a lot. My husband and I are artists, but the listening (and the watching while listening) is also very important for me. I cannot live without music, and something keeps me stable enough, for now...
