First, I apologize for mistaking your signature.  I think you will
agree that going into further details of human anatomy and physiology
would be excessive for this list.  In summary all I wanted was to alert
any musician who excessively uses headphones to the risk of doing so.
Thought of a musician and/or music lover losing hearing, even if partially,
is quite painful.  So, I guess we have to agree on some details but I
am sure we both wish the same thing.

Warm greetings,
