LINK Athletes have healthier brains that can actually hear better, study says
Neurobiologist Nina Kraus can. At her lab at Northwestern University called “Brainvolts,” she and her colleagues can attach a series of electrodes to your scalp and record the electricity your brain produces in response to a sound.
“I can then take that electricity and play it out through a speaker and we can listen to your brain to see how well it does that job,” Kraus said. “By doing that we can gain insight to the health of your brain and nervous system.”

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Since my teens, I have worn earplugs at concerts and on airplanes, especially during the walk between the plane and building.
"I lost over 60% of my hearing by walking on the tarmac from the airplane to the airport," an Alaska Airlines pilot said. He confirmed that I was correct.
As a musician, it was common sense. I plug my ears around loud noises: motorcycles, fighter jets, lawn mowers, leaf blowers, etc.
"Your hearing is extraordinary in all ranges," an audiologist doctor said, amazed, after my hearing test five years ago. I'm 67.

I'm not an athlete, but I do get regular moderate exercise. I've got very good hearing, so much so that I hear way more noises than I care to hear. If someone connected electrodes to my head, the read out would probably show annoyance to most unnecessary man-made sounds!
