Survey: Hearing loss in riders

I liked the fact Bill Bailey was reading Complicity. Not sure what the
purpose of showing that book was; I don't remember it being set in
Glawstershire.

 

That's all zeros then, as it would be for the week before. Is that
going to be any use whatsoever?

 

The post? I've a vague recollection of a picture of Lozzo putting his
knob either in Pip's hair or bike helmet (I couldn't just say 'helmet'
there, now could I?). From some party or other. Yuck.

 

Wax?

Probably equally effective. The cover of the first edition of the
occupational noise code of practice was yellow IIRC and was
affectionately known as 'the yellow peril".

I was leafing idly through a nold copy of MCN at work today. What a load of
shit that rag is! I decided that I might start referring to it as the
"Wrong 'Un".

ewww.

 

The research into hearing loss suggests that some people are
peculiarly sensitive to noise, and will suffer hearing damage in noise
levels that are very well tolerated by others.

 

That's true to some degree, but sustained exposure to noise will
damage anybody's hearing.

 

sounds great, ( not ) I remember I lit an exploding rocket firework by
sticking a match in it once, I was convinced I would never hear
properly again ( my hearing went dull for days ) but I had a test not
so long ago and it was found to be fine. I always wear ear plugs
since I started riding on the motorway, and even wear them in the car,
unless I am having a bash of AC/DC on the stereo !! I try to keep the
IPOD down reasonably low as well... it's ok to have loud noise for a
short time but I reckon the noise of a long car jouney is best
blocked out.. I find my lid is a bit noisy even with plugs in,
depending on the amount of wind.
