In particular, loud noise around the 4kHz range is most likely to cause hearing loss or tinnitus or both. Guess what the frequency of that "Ventolin" tone is. C. -- cspot@hyperreal.com (Chris.Hilker) "Blue ice cubes? How degenerate!"

I had a chat to a few of my medic friends about tinnitus. Apparently it's still very much an undiscovered country, but some people seem to be more prone to it than others, and it is not just loud music, apparently it can be caused (quite commonly) by compacted teeth! One form of tinnitus *is* curable, but this form is very rare and basically an effect of another different syndrome. So *yes*, basically, it is incurable. And yes walkmans are the major culprits as they have shite tinny headphones in the majority. Just hope you're not in the susceptable group! And in the light of Panorama's recent dope scare program, not in *that* susceptable group either! greg 3 0 3

I got all excited thinking g303 was talking about Tinnitus, a really obscure experimental noise band from Auckland, New Zealand. Oh well, maybe not. :/ Michael ______________________________________________________________________________ "Stability is one of those code words, which means 'rule by the right guys'" scrot@sans.vuw.ac.nz (Michael Upton) - Noam Chomsky ______________________________________________________________________________
