Honestly John, have you ever heard of google?

get onto google, and enter "MP3 Hearing damage"


Yes, but you said 'medical circles'. Stuff like that often isn't found
by Google even if it's on the web at all.

John, do the google. The first site you find will be from a german
medical paper on the subject. I think your curiosity will be satisfied.

There are hundereds of hits to that simple search.

Hello Barry,

You're so . . . analog!

Not always. When I restored that old piano I had to rebuild some of the
damping lever mechanisms using wood and deer leather. I'd consider these
digital features: They muffle the strings instantly after a key is
released, unless this function is "gated off" by pressing a pedal.

The first three are all the same rant from a kook. He even admits that
he has no evidence of any effect, and then claims 'fatal consequences'.
It destroys one's faith in freedom of speech.

I didn't find any that presented any credible evidence. Most of them
were only about MP3 alone or hearing damage alone. Several of the pages
on hearing damage alone are shrill, alarmist and inaccurate; I can tell
that the writer does not know the subject in depth.

This one is reliable, in fact the whole site is very good (and no, it
isn't run by my brother):

Hello Jim,

Joerg, Aren't you in the Nevada City/Grass Valley area?

Close: In Cameron Park, Highway 50 about 30 miles east of Sacramento.
Drop me a line or call (530 672 1657) when you know your itinerary, at
least we should be able to meet somewhere.

_Potentially_ I will have a new Sacramento client in the next week or
so, so I might be up that way.

If this happens to be Gordon Moore's old company that would only be ten
miles from here.

Regards, Joerg

Hello John,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page

There's a lot of really useful stuff here. I'd contribute, but the
authoring stuff is, so far, unintelligable to me.

Usually you just click on "edit this page" and add your contributions to
the end of the text window.

For a local Wiki that's not so helpful though since EE-Wikis will
contain stuff like schematics.

On further reading, it appears to be nonsense. If the problem were as
severe as he says it *may* be, there would be tens of thousands of people
with very real hearing damage.

As you also found, all of the hits on the subject seem to be referencing
this same guy's stuff.... I guess he got his 15 minutes of fame.

Oh, I will, in fact I would have done by now if something else had not
intervened. I just wanted to explain why I didn't do that originally.

Hello John,

http://www.headwize.com/articles/hearing_art.htm

Pretty cool.

But you are right, credible medical information usually requires
membership or the disbursement of pretty steep fees for access. Like
IEEE-Explore you usually only find the abstracts on the web, the full
pdf file requires payment.

I have some problems with Mozilla Firefox that I can't figure out.

On some pages the QuickTime symbol pops up, then changes to
"broken"... no big deal, I rarely care.

But this morning I went to IRF.com and got a repetitively blinking
QuickTime symbol and lock-up of Firefox. I had to use TaskManager to
get it to stop.

I was able to go to IRF.com with IE without incident.

Ideas? Suggestion?

Thanks!

There appears to be a problem with your Macromedia Flash Player plug-in.
Make sure you get the latest from Macromedia. Works with Flash 7 just fine
on my PC.

Make sure you get the latest update for Firefox, too. They have just
posted a critical one.
More info here:
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/known-vulnerabilities.html

Good luck!

I just downloaded and installed Firefox 1.03... no change in the hang
at IRF.com

I'm showing Shockwave Flash 7.0r19 as an enabled plug-in

Is that the correct plug-in?

I note that 10 different DLL's for Quicktime are enabled.

I also note that the Mozilla Default Plug-in is NOT enabled ??

Hello John,

But I really appreciate the irresponsibility of being able to use my
browser without being reminded that I have 45 emails stacked up
demanding my attention.

AFAIK that can be done with Mozilla by not enabling "Check email server
every x many minutes for mail". Then it should only show anything when
you deliberately open mail and after clicking "Get Msgs".

I usually like that feature though, especially when waiting for feedback
from a client after I sent them a schematic. It's just a small blue
message blurb, no sound (I disabled these) and not in the browser window.

Why is it that anyone would even want an "integrated" tool? Sounds
like jack-of-all-trades, master-of-none ;-)

which is the main reason I generally avoid MS apps for mail, news, and browsing.

I use Eudora v3.0.5 for E-mail, Agent v1.93 for News and Firefox v1.03
to browse.

4.3.2, 1.93 and 1.02 here.
