I was under the impression that your ears don't heal? right? damage is damage. Depends. Once inner ear hair cells are dead, there's no bringing them back. If they're just kinda stunned, they'll probably bounce back, although over time continued assualt's on one's hearing will cause permanent damage...

A TD movie!?!?!?! Yeah!!!!!!!!! Gotta love it.

I think that's a kick that the album, which was presented as a demo to the record company, was rejected even though it sounded great due to the fact that Tom Scholz recorded it himself in his project studio.
