It's "music Wednesday", and I'm still trying to keep up with covering topical news as much as I can. I have about three minutes left of my lunch break, so here's a quickie...
We've all heard the warnings about the damage our ears can take from loud music, but did you know that it could even collapse a lung? If you think about it, sound is just vibrations travelling through the air, and the louder the sound, the more forcefully the air is pumped. Intense vibrations like that could damage any part of your body - not just your ears. Extremely loud bass tones have been known to start my heart palpitating, so why not puncture a lung, too?
Just another thing to think about the next time you crank that stereo...
