1. If hearing assist devices carrying small amounts of electric current, like headphones, cause cancer, why aren't the thousands of The Villages residents who wear hearing aids all afflicted with cancer?

2. If wearing over-the-ear headphones were believed to cause cancer I'm sure the word would be out among the amateur radio community where hobbyists have been wearing them extensively since the 1920s, and I have never heard of such a thing at my radio club.

3. Wisdom dictates that you carefully avoid playing the sound too high because of the risk of damaging your hearing.

4. Enjoy your headphones.

:jester:sure just ask the Village doctors on here... lol

I still have a dent in my head from my Walkman.

Why do you always assume "an unhealthy fixation"? I used the earphones for years and never gave it a thought until one day I felt an unusual sensation on one side. So it made me wonder if something was wrong and I asked about it. You call that a "fixation"?

Remember, you said you subscribe to the Journal of the American Medical Association. Does that mean you have an unhealthy fixation?

Those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

Good for you; I'm glad you had a good outcome.

You did? Darn, sorry for your unfortunate landing. I had a friend who was good at it. He jumped a couple of times to show me how easy it was. He said you have to roll to one side when you land. So I tried it but didn't roll to one side like he said. I didn't break any bones but the impact was horrendous.

Thanks, Carl. I always try to be careful with the volume.
