I went for a walk on the street the other morning. I was happy to have a few minutes of alone time ( I love my kids but two 6 year old and 2 eight year olds can really talk!) It was crisp and smelled heavenly and I had my pace up…and my I-pod froze up (I’m not electronically inclined, but I tried everything I could think of to fix it, to no avail). Wow. It’s amazing how much my pace and stamina is affected by music. It turned out to be a speed walk that took a lot more effort.
About 5 years ago I chaired a fundraiser for The Hearing, Speech, and Deaf Center (I used to do fundraising for non-profits before I had my kids). I had no affiliation with this organization before, but was doing a favor for an old friend. I learned quite a bit about damaging the ear with ear-buds and loud music. One issue with ear-buds is that it gets introduced into your ear canal, instead of sitting up above the surface. It’s a better quality sound, but makes the potential for long-term damage easier.
The lesson here is to use common sense. Be gentle with your hearing because it can be damaged easily. But, by all means, rock on!
