Re:More than 1B young people are at risk for hearing loss by big_red on Thursday November 17, 2022 @11:38PM (#33650391)
No it’s not obvious at all. As we age we accumulate toxic chemicals, take injuries, and genetics become corrupted as the telomeres become exhausted. After the average age our ancestors reproduced is passed, anything and everything goes really.

Look at a violinist play, their neck is held at a 45 degree angle, compressing blood going to… the left ear. If you do that 5 hours a day you might just get hearing loss.

See you’re oversimplifying a system with many layers of complexity. But if noise made you deaf and light made you blind, we would have many more deaf and blind people.
