* GOOD POINT * Robert! He never imagined that his 33 1/3 vinyls would ever go to CD either!
But hook up a decent set of ear buds, and that music jumps on ya!!!
I just hope I don't start to lose my hearing! The true organ of hearing located deep in the inner ear is the
cochlea. We hear because of those tiny, microscopic hairs that vibrate to sound.
If we go too high on the loudness levels, (decibel levels) those hairs collapse and stop conducting sound.
Sometimes the cochlear hairs of hearing recover and start to stand back up. (Thank God for that!)
I 've had my little cochleas totally get creamed after a super-loud Fogerty concert, or two.
But luckily for me and thanks to God's mercy and love, my cochlea's are doing fine today.

It's when the teeny hairs fall down for good and never get back up that will require hearing aids.
GOSH - - - I really don't want for that to happen.

So - -- take it easy on the ear buds and don't go to concerts without sophisticated ear plugs.
My sense of hearing is still really great, but I can't be around excessive noise as I used to be.
I'm too sensitive to loud booming noises. Trains, airplanes, sirens, zooming trucks and whatnot really irritate my ears. Gotta do all I can to preserve my hearing.

I never want to live a day that I can't hear my music!!! IT's too precious a thing to lose, so
I have to take steps now to protect what I have. I hope all y'all do the same.

PEACE and good hearing to you all.
