Don't take your hearing for granted.

I saw this, and just felt so moved and really appreciated that I can hear, listen to, play, and enjoy music. Sometimes it's good to get a reminder of things many of us take for granted.

I wish I still had all my hearing.

But that was pretty neat anyways. Methinks that kid would prolly be overjoyed when it came to listening to music.

That's the good stuff!

Thanks for sharing that. I'm going to send that video to my wife now. She's a speech language pathologist (speech therapist) and will LOVE this!

This thread FTW!

That was beautiful.

I have always practiced not abusing my ears. And it paid off. Just last week I had an appointment with an audiologist because I was experiencing a problem with my right ear. My hearing results were great and the audiologist said that I can hear well below the softest whisper and that every thing that she sent through the headphones I was able to hear. Normal hearing is above 20db's. Anything under that and you are experiencing hearing loss. I came in at about 17-18db's.


The problem I was having with my right ear is a condition that the ear specialist called eustation tube dysfunction. And that the level of it that I have will basically cure itself.



Here is a link with info on it. And what causes it.

As a someone who lost his right ear hearing on a MC crash, I can tell that no matter how You try, sometimes the life just throws a curve-ball at Ya'.

Cool advertizing video, and a cool product. For kids.

Too bad about the inability requirements and the price tag though.
