The Things I've Learned...

This is something that has been bothering me as of late. My hearing is something that I especially worry about. We are bombarded constantly by noise. Listening to loud music via headphones is definitely bad but there are a myriad of other noises that blast our ears each day as well. If you live in an urban or even sub-urban area you are surely listening to the racket that cars and trucks make all day long. If you work in an office you might be sitting next to a computer that is quite noisy as well. Fluorescent lights can also be noisy. Most of these things are brains block out and we don't really "hear" them anymore but they are there assaulting our ears all the same. There usually isn't a lot we can do about that other then to move into the woods somewhere but it is good to be aware of such things I believe.

Anyway, I just found this blog post/article that I thought you might like to read... The second link is just some very basic info on what your senses are (just in case you weren't aware of them already). :)
