I recently talked to a hearing-aid-technician and he said this idea of damage
by compressed audio is complete bullshit. He went as far as speculating it
would more likely be good for your ears. He essentialy said that even the
experts (and I consider him to be more of an expert thant this cyberyogi-guy)
don't know exactly how the ear works. Much things are still speculations and
guesses. Think about Tinnitus and things like that.
