Either I'm holding on OK or Marcus is aged before his time! One more data point: I'm 35, suffer from mild tinnitus, and also play bass (with ear plugs!). Until a few years ago, the flyback transformer from TV sets used to drive me nuts (approx 15.75 kHz), even across a room. At this point, I can still hear it, but I have to be pretty close to the set. I hope this doesn't mean that I'll start to like TV or something. :-) Steve Received: from ns.ezh.nl [137.174.112.59] by vbv40.ezh.nl with SMTP-OpenVMS via TCP/IP; Tue, 18 Mar 1997 20:09 +0100 Received: by ns.ezh.nl; (5.65v3.2/1.3/10May95) id AA04942; Tue, 18 Mar 1997 20:09:07 +0100 Received: from ella.mills.edu by ns (smtpxd); id XA04935 Received: from by ella.mills.edu via SMTP (940816.SGI.8.6.9/930416.SGI) id LAA20088; Tue, 18 Mar 1997 11:05:08 -0800 Date: Tue, 18 Mar 1997 11:05:08 -0800 Message-Id: <332EFAA2.1609@dnvr.uswest.net> Errors-To: madole@mills.edu Reply-To: tuning@ella.mills.edu Originator: tuning@eartha.mills.edu Sender: tuning@ella.mills.edu
