I got my daughter to see the fireworks when she was younger , they lasted a lot longer than I realize and they were over I could not hear for about a hour! I had to drive home this way too. My ears will hurt if I am too close to a loud sound too.
Yes, they do. For instance, most people assume that since i am HoH, i have to blast my music to be able to hear it.. that is not the case. Many hearies listen to music that is far louder than i can stand
Totally deaf....several years ago, went to Daytona Beach for Bike Week w/friends...we stayed over for the Bike Parade also...the roaring of those Harley's...for over a week, I had "roaring" in my head...it was awful!
I was not too close to the fireworks , it was how long they lasted that was too much for me. I thought they would be for 30 minutes . They lasted over a hour which was unusual for a small town .
