Welcome to the wild and wonderful worlds of audio and music!  They are pursuits that are relatively safe yet very rewarding. 

A word to the wise:  Protect your hearing!  No better time to start than now.  If you mow the yard, wear hearing protection.  Protect your hearing from music that is so loud you can't hear your own normal speaking voice.  Some hearing loss as we age is normal, but we can minimize it if we take precautions.

Lecture over.  Now run along and have fun!

Loud automotive stereo systems will no doubt cause tone deafness over the long term. I have seen it time and time again.

Enjoy the art of music my friend.
