HelloSailorSign posted:Trains have cars in them At various dosage levels of the medication it will metabolize more effectively with one of two different enzymes. The lower dose interacts with the enzyme responsible for the release of dopamine, but at a higher dose it will also interact with the release of norepinephrine. The latter is an issue when you eat foods high in tyramine because it puts you at risk for developing hypertension. When selegiline is used for doggy dementia, it's prescribed low enough to just get more dopamine bouncing off more neurons. Doggles posted:Especially when you don't have to respect it yourself!

pumpinglemma posted:Honestly, I remember a bunch of news articles saying the exact same thing about 10-15 years ago. I think “young people are ruining their hearing” is just one of those cyclical news stories that will never fully die, like “young people are doing a stupid and dangerous challenge” or “young people actively hate every mainstream politician”. And I remember them in the 80s because of the Sony Walkman. I'm sure they were writing articles about those big rear end 60/70 can style headphones hooked up to records players before that.

Shouldn’t we wait to hand wave away before we examine that generations use of hearing aids in like …… 50 years Don’t think it’s a rash oh no gen z kids literally can’t hear things right now article/study Seems likely that we’ll see more folks using hearing aids in the future as we see the effects of continued headphone use

The study is specifically about reviewing the last 20 years of hearing studies that couldn't determine whether the hearing loss was temporary or permanent, and they found that the hearing damage from 2000 was permanent for most people.

100 dB is "operating a jackhammer" levels. It's not surprising at all that that causes permanent damage. The surprising thing to me from that summary (if it's actually backed up by the paper) would be that 85dB doesn't cause permanent damage

The surprising thing to me from that summary (if it's actually backed up by the paper) would be that 85dB doesn't cause permanent damage Two things - one (you probably know this but just in case), the obligatory reminder that dB is logarithmic so 85 isn't nearly as close to jackhammer territory as it might seem, and two, prolonged exposure at 85 dB is generally identified as the floor of "definitely hazardous" rather than the ceiling of "definitely safe". Not recommended for all-day listening.

And what are you gonna do, ban earphones? The EU legislation that limits the volume output of music players is quite old already and people have tips for circumventing it on every device (it was usually setting the US as your region). The Apple Watch "yo if this was your workplace you'd be entitled to compensation" ambient volume warnings are a step in the right direction and should also monitor BT device output imo

As someone with tinnitus and who has never ever heard a perfectly quiet room (without a high pitched EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE) it ain’t so bad. Eventually Elon Musk will put a microphone jack in my brain that will let me get BOSE quality microphones in place of my ears with which to blast Nirvana directly into my melting brain and I, for one, salute him.
