RobBob Posted May 19, 2003 Share Posted May 19, 2003 Well, my parents were right. They always told me I was going to go deaf, listening to loud music. Between that, shooting guns, and working around heavy machinery, I think I had a hearing deficit by age 21. It was enhanced one drunken night by listening to Keith Richard scream Little T&A about thirty times in a row. Now, my wife claims that I only hear what I want. How bout you?

catbirdseat Posted May 19, 2003 Share Posted May 19, 2003 My hearing is still pretty good, but I still can ignore that which I do not want to hear, like "take out the trash, mow the lawn, or get a job." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
