    Hearing damage is permanent, stay safe and use earplugs. You will regret it later in life if you don’t.

      It’s even worse than people act like it is.

      Hearing loss is progressive. You won’t even notice it at first. You’ll just be sitting around one day and suddenly you’re half deaf in one ear and have roaring tinnitus in the other.

      And it doesn’t even take overly loud sounds to cause irreparable damage. A typical motorcycle engine is loud enough. Music turned up slightly too loud. Hell simply clapping your hands can do it.

      Our ears are just as shittily built as our knees.
