It also reduces your hearing to a single dimension. Your ears are like your eyes: binocular vision provides the ability to judge depth; monocular vision does not.

Close your eyes and stand in the center of a room. Have a buddy clap his hands, and, without opening your eyes, point in the direction of the clap. No problem. Now plug one ear and repeat. You'll lose most, if not all, of your ability to identify the direction of the source of the clap. It takes both ears to discern direction, just as it takes both eyes to discern depth.
WoW you're pretty smart for a biker... Thats alot of information, I understand what you are saying, but regardless, I do not use high volumes when it is in my ear, and yes it does change the way you hear things, but I will still do it. I won't make excuses, I won't lie and say you've changed my mind, I am gonna be straight up and say that I will continue to listen to it.. But thank you for that info.
