Anyone else have that slight ring in there ear? Every one keeps telling me to stop installing speakers in my cars. You will go deaf. Well at least when I get older I wont have to listen to my wife bitch :)

There's worst things people are doing to their body anyway. Killing brain cells vs deaf, which would you choose.

deaf for me and no no ringing but at around 150 i get a slight tickle lol

i listen to my system pretty loud sometimes but you have to do it in moderation. its nice to bump once in a while but id rather be able to enjoy the SQ of a system

well after almost 20 years of car audio i have difficulty hearing people if there is any background noise at all........

Yeah I have a constant ringing (pretty slight), but my hearing is still really good. Considering I have been doing installs for quiet a while, grew up working construction, and now I work around jet engines. Even the generator we use has a T 38 (F5) motor in it.

I get my hearing tested annually, and it actually got a little better over the last few years. I guess that double hearing protection pays off.

my right eardrum ruptured for the third time in my life last night. talk about ringing. i didn't go to any classes today. and i can't fly for a week or so.

happend once last year, and once when i was a kid.

Brain cells, hands down

Only those around you will notice the change when you lose brain cells, but you are aware when you go deaf.

Once when I was a lil chillen, I was playing football with my friends, and my friends accidentally ripped my head off my body, and it was lying in the mud. And my body was running around tackling shit like a zombie on crack. When the doctors reattached my head, the doctor told me I have dain bramage.

ummmm....what was the question again?

Exactly. Bass frequencies aren't terribly hard on your ears if listened to in moderation. I play my music loud several times a day, but rarely ever play a full song very loudly. It honestly gets annoying after a while, but every once in a while I love to blast it. Extremely loud highs will have a much worse effect on your ears than lower bass frequencies.
