Study Finds High-Speed Convertible Driving Hazardous To Hearing
|
I wonder why they say earplugs don't work. As a motorcycle rider, I use earplugs all the time to protect from the wind noise.
|
Like we needed a study done to know that driving in a noisy open car was bad for our ears??!! Duh!
We should all trade our cars in for quiet Chevy Volts, stay completely out of the sun, and eat organic fair trade shade grown low sodium low cholestrol hippie food. And wear earmuffs to protect our ears. |
What?
Hand me my ear horn please |
I guess to keep our hearing we need full f1 style race helmets…
interesting info. |
Ohhh, now it makes sense. JoePa must be haulin a$$ in a convertible when out recruiting 5 stars.

I know. I debated about linking that. He's a heck of a coach and you have to respect all that he's accomplished.

What did you say......
|
The article didn't really say earplugs don't help...only that they also potentially block out sounds the driver, for safety reasons, might want/need to hear.
Personally, I don't drive for hours and hours at interstate speeds with the top down anyway. To me, it just gets a little fatiguing after awhile. I like top down driving in relatively short bursts, in select locations. |
WHAT.... I guess i need to save money on those modified mufflers and upgrade my stereos also. How about nagging wife on the passenger side? (JK honey).

Meh, the noise only bothers me when traveling 100mph plus. :D
Firearm shooting took my perfect hearing long ago. |
As long as they don't ban making convertibles
to protect us from ourselves |
Living is hazardous... If I don't do something hazardous at least once a day I get bored.
Turbine Engines, gunfire and race engines have taken a toll on mine, but I'd do it all over again! I do everyday! |
LOL...funny responses... :cheers:

AGH LOUDER PLEASE! Me thinks that methane from cows are lethal to convertible drivers.

If the weather is/as nice my top is always down even on the highway for long drives.
