This is a honest question. Im 17, and im honestly wondering if car audio loses hearing. ive been told this for 4 years now. this is more for the older guys that have been doing this for a long time. are you feeling the hearing loss yet at all //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

Prolonged exposure to loud music & noises can lead to hearing loss. It doesn't happen to everyone, but it's a possibility.

well, i figured but ppl lose hearing without listening to loud music. just by old age. so maybe we dont and we just gradually lose hearing bc of age

It really can but it depends on what you do and how you do. Extreme body building can hurt you down the road too. Pretty much anything will take its effect in time.

I've heard its mainly the high frequencies that hurt your hearing.

Im old. Yes you will lose your hearing. It will be gradual at first. Mainly higher frequencies. You will have to turn the tv up a little louder. Then a little more. Then you will have to ask people to repeat themselves then its either give up or getting hearing aids.

Loud exposure at any frequency you will lose your hearing, it will be faster the higher the freq tho. Even daily systems will effect you long term.

Moral of the story...Hearing loss is no joke, wear protection.

FYI you could "google" and get an answer from a reputable source. New to the internet?

see thanks for that. but no offense, you said your old, is it bc your getting old or bc of the bass. im sure the bass contributed tho. but thanks for the advice
