Is there a correlation between deafness and running, in particular

Permanent or transient? I often go a bit deaf when the sweat builds up in
my ears after a hard session.

O yes, those runnners, fleet
As a fleet in flight...their silence seen,
Their voices lean, their sound,
Unseen, their beauty arching
Overhead,
Overheard ~ Fleeting wisp-O-willow
Waning,
Waxing
Over silent winds...

Meanwhile, on the other side, the inverse
Of the universe, another
Author speaks, another voice
Squeaks ~

"Lemson is an inventor.
He invented the automated warehouse,
The machine shop, one of the first
Two industrial robots, several robot-
Vision machines, the drive mechanism of the audio
Cassette player, and 380 other things...
Many corporations manufacture his inventions,
But not many mention
It to him beforehand."

~ Tom Wolfe
From "Land of Wizards"

I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you very well. You'll have to repeat...

I have observed a correlation between blindness and running. Our club has
about 200 members, two of which are blind. That's a 1% rate, which is much
higher than in the general population.

Sure -- if you daily blast your inner ears with a
headset listening to music. This _is_ a known cause
of ear damage and hearing loss.

Other than that, I've never heard any hearing/running
correlations. Never had hearing problems due to running.
