A lifetime spent around race cars and shooting sports and you think I can hear??? :lol8:

Actually if I crank my sound system full throttle I can hear a slight whine. It was also at this point where my kids came running into the room with fingers in the ears screaming for me to stop because it was hurting... :ne_nau:

:doh:

Although I crank the Metal every chance I get, and I don't know how many concerts I've been to... davis showed me this at work today and I heard it no problem.

...and my wife and parents say I'm deaf. I may be dumb, but I'm not deaf. :headbang:

Man even with the volume cranked all the way up and my ear right next to the speaker I can't hear a thing. Are you sure there is a noise that is made?
I guess I must have spent too many days shooting without earplugs. :nod:

I can in my left ear, but if I cover my left ear, I can't hear it. I must be getting older on my right side, but not my left. :ne_nau:

They were playing this ringtone on the radio this morning. I had no problem hearing it. But when I go to the web site I cannot. Infact all three of my kids were watching T.V. and said what is that noise, it's hurting my ears.

I guess I got a new way of clearing the room :roflol:

I've been working around tanks for 3 years. They are loud. Most tankers, including myself, have hearing problems. I could still hear it. I'm 22. Not old but I feel old. I say it's about miles, not hours.

I like my rock and roll loud and I still heard it. They say that at 32 I'm on the outside edge of people who can still hear frequencies that high. I tried playing the sound on another website and couldn't hear it. Maybe it was my headphones. If you've got crappy speakers they might not be able to reproduce the sound.
