a bit off topic as i dont have any health problems... but i always wondered about people who live in elevated areas, if they're more prone to hearing problems/hearing injuries because of the added pressure..

Higher elevation....more pressure. The air is much more dry as well. Sinus infections can become a problem, and if you're a visitor from a low lying area be prepared to deal with some major drying out of the nose and vocal chords.

yeah, like up in the mountains for instance... normally when i take a drive to an elevated area my ears will pop, and go wild to the point where it's nearly unbearable to listen to music
and i never had put 2 and 2 together in regards to the drying out of the vocal chords, a few days ago, i drove to vermont USA, by the time i was up there my throat was extremely soar, for no apparent reason...
good to know

High elevation means lower pressure, not higher pressure, because the air is less dense. The closer you get to outer space, the thinner the air gets.

If you made music in space would it sound different?
Processing a highly structured and complex pattern of sensory input as a unified percept of "music" is probably one of the most elaborate features of the human brain.....understanding how music is perceived and how it may elicit intense sensations is far from being understood.

I "produced" on Sony MDR-V700s for almost 2 years, and it really fucked my ears up. Compounded by the fact that I've been to hundreds and hundreds of loud ass punk/metal/rock shows locally where they play everything too fucking loud. I have a tiny bit of hearing loss now, with some tinnitus.
Now using monitors and producing at very, very low volume until I do a final mix, then I blast it
