For a couple months I lived in an apartment right next to the crashing waves of the ocean- it was loud.
Imagine our ancestors camping there for months or years, 24/7, without windows to close.
Would they all have suffered from tinnitus and hearing loss?
You’d think our ears would have evolved to be more resilient than that.
