I don't do hardly anything outside that takes longer than 15 minutes without putting my headphones on, and when talking on the phone, it is a Bluetooth headset that shoves that opening way down next to your eardrum, so I guess that too will take its toll in the years to come. :? The good thing is, my hearing is damaged enough that 64kbps VBR WMA files sound great! :wink: :rotfl: __________________ text sig
