Remember how your ears would ring for several hours after a rock concert? You knew that was going to come back to bite you some day. Apparently that day is close at hand.
Right now about 36 million people in the U.S. suffer hearing loss. But as you might guess, that number is increasing as boomers grow older. One hearing loss education organization estimates that number will double by the year 2030.
Yep, that’s 72 million folks constantly uttering, “Say what now?”
A couple of thoughts come immediately to mind:
First, it might be a smart thing to start buying stock in the Miracle Ear company.
Second, your parents did try to warn you that going to Alice Cooper and Black Sabbath concerts would damage you. Although they were talking about your moral character…not your ear drums.
