Which is better for your hearing?

Got a pair of Yuin earbuds, and my problem is listening on a windy day. The wind creates a lot of bass rumble, making me turn up the volume. Canal phones sit closer to the eardrums, but would block out the wind so I could keep the volume lower.
Question, from someone with a degree of hearing loss already: which is better for your ears? Earbuds at higher volume or in-ear at lower vol?

I have 60% deafness in the right ear but also suffer tinnitus (loud whooshing sound) due to a RTA, but the left ear has excellent hearing. I have tried earbuds, headphones even a pair that you control the volume for both ears. None up to now have made any difference. On a windy day my left ear just compensates for the right, so I just hear in mono. To hear good sound, at the moment, it's best for me to listen to my ipod inserted into the Bose sound dock at home.

  • Is it better for your battery if you let it run down all the way and then charge it? Or to charge it whenever you have the opportunity?  Which is better for the life of the battery?

    I was wondering it the life of the battery would last longer if you let the battery run down all the way and then charge it? Or to charge it whenever you have the opportunity even if it doesn't have a low battery?  Which is better for the life of the battery and prolong the life of the battery?

    I've had a iPhone 4s since March 2012, and it's battery is pretty useless now.  I was using the app Battery Doctor (Battery Saver, Battery Life) by Beijing Kingsoft Internet Security software, which encourages the user to charge more often, whenever battery life drops below 100% full and greater than 20% full, and gives ratings according to the number of full, partial & overcharges done, but I'm concerned that charging like that actually results in worse battery life??
    I now have an new iPhone 5 and don't want the battery to only last as short as the last one did
    Any advice/comments please

  • Which is better for bulk message scenario in sap xi RFC or Proxy

    which is better for bulk message scenario in ( RFC or Proxy ) ?
    Edited by: prabhatxi on Aug 6, 2010 4:44 PM

    Proxy will alwaays be better option in this case, as it is adapter less framework, and communication happens directly with XI central integration engine. So it is always fast communication and gives good performance.
    But still you should consider other factors, you may consider using RFC as well, as sometime we go for RFC/IDOC as this are the standard interfaces already available rather than creating structure...
    May be you can share more info on what type/volume data are you planning to send via XI?
    Hope this cleart your doubt..

  • Which is better for music production: macbook air or pro?

    Which is better for music production: macbook air or pro?

    The MacBook Pro has higher specifications, depending
    on the model, and then CTO additional upgrades.
    The Air does not have a Retina display, but has lesser
    specs, so that may make a difference. They still offer a
    low-end MB/Pro w/ optical drive, w/o Retina; specs vary;
    it may work in your instance. You'd have 14 days to take
    a new Apple computer back, so keep that in mind.
    Good luck!

    In view of the fact that there are numerous applications that run properly while creating a lot of internal heat in a MBP indicates that it does not follow that heat is an inhibiting factor (within designed parameters).  Thus my comment is certainly not opion, rather fact.  You certainly are entitled to your reply but a third party reader should be be apprised of what the facts are.

  • Which is better for physical therapy graduate student, a MacBook air or MacBook pro?

    Which is better for a physical therapy graduate student, a MacBook air or MacBook pro?

    Macbook Air
    I cannot see you using strenuous applications to help you with a Physical Therapy Degree.
    Have a think of whether you want an 11" or 13".
    I'd recommend the 13" because although the 11" is perfect for taking notes in class etc.; when it comes to performing as a desktop and not sitting on your lap, it can seem too small.
    The 13" is the best of both worlds. You can keep the portability and the power in one.
    Make sure you get a large enough SSD, they always fill up fast with documents and possibly downloaded text books etc.
    With the 13" if you decide to create a innovative project or a collection of photos, you can also use more RAM-consuming applications like iPhoto and iMovie, or even Aperture without worrying about freezing.

  • Which is better for education iPad or Macbook air?

    I am a grade 8 student and I walk around quite a bit in school and I would like to know which one is better for me?
    Which is better for school, and no I can not get the discount.
    Macbook Air or
    iPad
    If macbook Air which size and specs would you reccomend?
    And if iPad which storage option, white or black do you reccomend?
    And should I buy the iPad 2 or the new one.

    Great question.
    Word processing for iOS is fantastic, but not as good for citations and things as on the macbook air, though footnotes will be preserved.
    The new textbook options on ipad are compelling. You should find out if any of your school textbooks are on there by searching the itunes store. If so, ipad is your choice.
    They are different categories of products. the macbook air is an excellent computer.
    But I guess I feel this way -- why don't you buy a desktop for the home. and an ipad for school? If you feel you can get all of your notetaking, paper drafts etc. done on ipad, then you can use mountain lion (coming out this summer) to keep it all in sync when you go home.
    I do have to warn you that I tried taking my ipad to work. If you use google docs at all, you may find some limitations sometimes. If you stick within the icloud universe, (pages, keynote, and numbers), you may be mostly happy.

  • Which is better for computer and program... sleep or turn off?

    When not using, which is better for the program, sleep or turn off the computer and any explanations are welcome...

    I advise shutting down rather than sleep. A good shut down often clears up nascent problems, and of course you're saving electricity by not running your machine and also saving those precious MTBF hours on all the mechanical components. Think of the hours it would sleep vs. the number of hours you actually use the machine. Even though sleep consumes less electricity, it still consumes.

  • Which is better for solving Mac G5 issues

    I have been experiencing Kernel Panics and program crashes. I want something that is good for testing hardware and OS issues. Can either of these find corrupted data files? I am looking at two utilities for purchase. Which is better for solving Mac Issues?
    TechTool Pro
    or
    Disk Warrior?

    Hi! Both and neither. Diskwarrior is the undisputed king of disk drive directory repair (which is the leading cause of drive problems)but that's all it does. TTP does directory repair although not as good as DW but TTP has a hardware test suite to test the components and can test a disk for bad blocks. I recommend both although you'll find yourself using DW the most. If you bought your machine new you should have a hardware test disk. It could be a separate disk or on one of the restore disks. As for your KP's start by disconnecting everything except the keyboard and mouse. Ram is also a likely culprit as can be a video card. The console log file will often give you a hint of the offending item. DR SMOKES article on KP's will also help. Tom

    i must to know which is better for my carrier mcitp or mcse

    MCITP is an older certification so MCSE in theory is better as it's newer and focused on the latest technologies. Given this, MCSE would be better for your career.

    more than other versions...

    For some reason that link I gave you isn't working right now, but it was today, weird. I would get Tomcat simple because sun uses it in its examples and recommends it. Here's sun's link then, it's probably more useful anyway. http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/

    Which is better for newbies, Jgrasp or Netbeans? I need something that explains errors more thoroughly than Jgrasp.

    Here's my code with 3 errors. Now bear in mind that my program has compiled completely and ran correctly up to this method. All I'm trying to do with this method is get the average of all grades in a multi-array. I researched and found some code that was similar to what I needed to do but it's not working out yet. All other methods in my program work perfectly but I can't get this one to compile.
    public double getMean(int allGrades[][])

  • Which is better for educational purpose ( for attending online classes ) ??

    which is better for educational purpose ( for attending online classes ) ?? iPad air 2 or d macbook pro?? what abt iPad pro ?? plz suggest one for me plz

    Some educational site are behind the times.  At times, they require software that isn't available on the ipad.  You should visit an apple store and try the educational site with the ipad.  Considering that you have an iMac, I'd lean in the direction of the iPad.
