Oh sh*t I don't want to know -----Original Message----- From: Michael Lees [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, January 24, 2003 3:53 PM To: Alex Bates Cc: Langsman, Marc; 'Fabrizio Nahum'; 313@hyperreal.org Subject: Re: (313) the risks of datareduced music
I think the levels of damage we're talking about here are a lot less than the damage suffered listening to v. loud music in a club or headphones. It's all relative, interesting nonetheless. > is it damaging to sleep with music on???? i usually put a cd on as i go to > sleep so it would last about an hour... am i damaging my hearing (its not > very loud!)?! > The article says: "I thus also suspect the data reduction in radio and TV broadcasts as a cause, not least because the hearing uses particularly the sleep for calibrating itself, during that the presence of neuroacoustically datareduced tones thus should be particularly harmful. " So as long as its a CD you should be okay ;) However there is another danger from CDs "A possible advantage of the data reduction characteristic to remove all sound portions classified as "inaudible" could otherwise even be that one could clean with it supposingly contaminated audio material (as for instance propaganda from dictatorships) from so-called subliminals (i.e. hidden hypnotic suggestion messages those are intended to get into the brain without getting into conscious awareness) before listening."
