My next door neighbors are playing AC/DC

[blogslut]

A couple months ago they got some kind of blasty stereo system and every day I'm treated to wall-shaking bass. Normally I can't tell what's being played but, the intro to Back in Black - that I recognize...

Duh duh. Duh duh. Duhduh. Duhduh.

Kids. Kids who in ten years will wonder where their hearing's gone. Gotta love em'.

1. And probably tehy don't realize...

The album is 10 years older than they are. :-)

(Seriously, it's been 30 years now!)

2. Heard yesterday that 1 in 5 teenagers have hearing loss

to some degree.

4. I wouldn't be surprised

I ruined my hearing the old-fashioned way, by working in nightclubs. :hi:

5. I ruined mine the real old fashioned way...

6. Ouch!

Did you ear drum just one day go "pop"? That's what happened to me, about a year after I stopped exposing myself to blaring audio.

8. No, it's just a very noisy machine

and we didn't know anything about hearing protection in the sixties. It's not in hearing aid territory but noticeable.

9. I'm sorry

I know how it is. My mom was hard of hearing and I used to get so mad at her because she always made me repeat stuff. Playing out that same scenario with my own kid was quite humbling.

13. So thats a cat.

And that would be a deer?

LOL, how many think a deer is the fight against communism?

How many think a deer is a voiceless person John/Jane doe something hunted.

Guess even the deer has the gender paradigm The buck and the doe. the triangle and the upside down triangle.

Its in so many things soldier/servant.

Maybe there is a gender paradigm with the cat also.

3. Well

It's better than rap. IMO.

7. You must have good neighbors.

Every once in a while I get treated to some ranchera or cumbia.

10. What!?

Your mumbling.

Played in bands when I was younger. Now I can't hear it if it is not on 11.

11. Welcome to my world

The only FM choices around here consist of Classic Rock, Light Rock, Pop, Country, or Christian. MPBN has some decent stuff @ times, Like 'World Cup Cafe' or 'In Tune By Ten' but it's not as if I can hear it at any given moment.

And because my CD player doesn't work, I'm pretty much limited to old cassettes or poor quality sound from streaming music stations on my computer. Yeah, I do intend to eventually get a whole new system, but in the meantime, I pretty much prefer silence.

The problem is though, that unlike me, my SO just has to have something... So Classic Rock it is. Don't get me wrong, I've always enjoyed most of it, and still do at times, but unfortunately, it IS possible to get too much of a good thing. Especially w/some of that station's DJs who seem unable to mix things up a bit better. It's like being in a time warp... if it wasn't for the commercials, it would literally sound and feel as if I were still in HS (25+ years ago).

*Sigh* such is the reality of rural living. Gotta take the good with the bad I guess. x(

12. Oh, I completely understand

I don't hate all Classic Rock but from the day they first hit the charts, I've never liked AC/DC.

I suppose what got me to post about my neighbors is that, for all their wall-shaking bass, I never expected to hear AC/DC come leaking through. Brittany Spears, yes. Lady Gaga, absolutely. Techno, you betcha.

Just goes to show ya never know.

14. there was a report 1 in 5 kids had hearing issue from the ipods, or whatever

husband did a decimal test on sons volume on his. interesting. he was reading the level with different noises. so we talked to two kids and niece about that. i used one for a couple years and i saw difinite problems with my hearing. i had never had issues. now i do. certain letters hard to hear. a niece that mumbles. none of it is good.
