An interesting take on a vexing problem.  Socio economic class is 
definitely correlated to other health issues and their mitigation or 
lack thereof.  My personal experiences would allow me to add that many 
people who play music in louder settings do so in a somewhat impaired 
state of judgement.  Society also plays a role, the setting of 
expectations.  I always expect that music will be loud, theatres loud, 
movies loud.  It is what we've come to expect.  I suspect that as with 
smoking this may be the tyranny of the minority.  I've never been able 
to understand why we weigh active and passive equally.  Making people 
not breathe smoke isn't harmful to them in any permanent way.  fjm
