fischy fisch Posted December 20, 2009 Report Posted December 20, 2009 Out of curiosity... would any of you guys say that you have suffered any hearing damage? i have over 5db of loss at 4k in my left ear and im only 18 lol. but i haven't and i don't plan on it. plus i'd probably miss and hit her belly button or her ear or something. lol.
MXmike800 Posted December 20, 2009 Report Posted December 20, 2009 no and from what ive read the low freq dont cause damage you have to look at the high freqs. im legally 50% deaf born and ive done alot of research to look into it. i didnt wanna compromise what i had. but the air movement can snap or vibrate the little hairs off in your eardrum and those never come back. so just be careful and if its too loud and hurts get out.

treossi Posted December 20, 2009 Report Posted December 20, 2009 im pretty sure the higher fq's are what kills hearing Team sundownWESTCOASTSPL.COM we're throwing dbdrag events very soon visit the website for details
Beanz Posted December 20, 2009 Report Posted December 20, 2009 Yup from what i read its the 2k to 4k that is the most damaging.there was another topic explaning on how loud it was/ That's why they don't deliver. Yer ass better go sit along the side of the road and wait. You can't expect them to travel up some dirt road in a hick / back woods town. Thats how horror movies start I explain things very simply and use analogies in terms of Pickles, and grape drink, pool noodles and jackhammers...if you can't put 2 and 2 together there man, There simply is not much more I can do.
loburbon Posted December 20, 2009 Report Posted December 20, 2009 how the hell do they test it that specifically they put you in a soundproof box, you put on a set of big ass earphones. you have a clicker in your hand and they use a machine to generate tones at certion db's and the tones vary. i have to take a dot hearing test every four years to renew my dot medical card since i have a cdl. and i always pass my tests. and most of my vehicles have been 150+ daily drivers. 2000 gmc yukon 4 sundown Zv3 15's 4 dd m2a's kenwood kdc-x994 2 batcap 4000's 1 batcap 2000 dual alts. 154@37hz and climbing http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3231683 http://www.myspace.com/torque150

HHR Ed Posted December 20, 2009 Report Posted December 20, 2009 The human ear is most sensitive in the frequency that human speech occurs. This is midrange frequencies, around 1000 hz to 10,000 hz. And in that range, the most damage can occur with over exposure to high intensity sounds. In the low end bass frequencies of 80 hz and below. The ear is far less sensitive and would require much longer exposure to even higher intensity sounds for permanent damage to occur. I have been exposed to over 150 dB bass frequencies for 15 years, My hearing was just tested 2 months ago for my DOT driver cert. My hearing is actually slightly better than 15 years ago.

tripleb45 Posted December 20, 2009 Report Posted December 20, 2009 Hmmmmmmm good info, but I am still thinking about ear caps to help keep the danger levels low. IMO
