Talkback Of The Day ZoetMB on NBC Sounds Alarm Over Earbud Hearing Loss: "One thing the show got wrong: better fidelity in ear buds has nothing to do with hearing loss by itself. IMO, all students should receive wideband (not just speech frequencies) hearing tests while in school so they can catch the beginning of hearing problems early. Because once it's gone, it's gone. And gone doesn't necessarily mean you can't hear speech, it can mean that you can't hear music the way it's supposed to be heard -- you lose all that high frequency "airiness" that makes music sound great. As an ex-recording engineer, I'd gladly pay $100,000 to get my hearing back to where it was when I was 20 or 30."
