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 because of exposure to high noise levels when younger.
Many home stereo systems, as well as audio/video, personal, and automo-
bile 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.
