Hi Alex—thanks for your response. I have worked in the field of music therapy, and when I didn't see it mentioned specifically in that post, I felt that it would be helpful to mention it.

We intuitively know that music is good for us; we seek it out to make us happy, or to comfort us. I can't wait until brain science figures this one out. - Francine Hardaway

I wonder if kids would modulate the volume of their music if they knew the possible aftereffects beforehand, could really experience what tinnitus is like? - Ginger Kenney

That is a great idea. Perhaps we will explore create some examples of tinnitus, but will hunt to see if something already exists. It is alarming how many young people are giving themselves noise induced hearing loss now. - Alex Doman
