Hey, you know that little triangular flap of skin
that almost
covers the ear, just above the earlobe?
Whaddya think if humans are (were?) to evolve that
little flap so it can be completely and tightly pressed
against the ear (like you can do now with your finger)
thus acting as an 'eyelid' for your ear in case things get
too loud ?
I mean what the heck is it doing there now, eh?

No need for that! I can already cover my ears completely
with my earlobes (that's why they're there, right?)
But I agree, it would be a little more comfortable...
Lieven
Just one question. Am I the only one who received a mail similar to this
off-list:
[ yet
more irrelvant mindless crap! ]
How does the external ear exactly work? Perhaps it's part of this
function, to reflect sound.
Absolutely nothing to do with Linux Audio Development Ralf, ... please
desist.
I sometimes receive mails off-list abusing me for mails other people did
wrote.
Here I did wrote this mail, but as a reply to this topic. So please, if
you don't like me folks, abuse me for stuff that were my crime.
Er, sorry maybe my fault on that one. I was commenting on the posts way
down this thread about loudness and hearing loss, but I kinda
didn't want it to get lost in the mayhem so I started a new sub-thread.
If readers had not read those posts about hearing loss, then my post,
and the replies, would appear to be off the topic.
My bad. Should have responded to those posts only.
Personally I don't mind if a thread which I started begins to wander off.
It's all good. As long as someone learns something or some new tidbit
of useful info emerges, or we just have a good chuckle, I'm OK with it.
Hope y'all are, too !
It's a pleasure to rap with all the people out there and read all the
interesting ideas and opinions which come back.
But yeah, watch out for the CC'ing it's so easy to accidentally mess up the
intended replies depending on what mail client you use.
I try to only CC if the message is important or personal enough that the
targeted CC should see it as soon as possible, sooner than the list.
Tim.
