what up. I have been a photographer for a while now and have gone through hundreds of thousands, probably millions of actuations with slrs and dslrs. One of my close friends (also photog) brought something up to me that had never even crossed my mind after all of these years. slrs and dslrs are loud. We all know that characteristic cha-chunk that they make (though each model has it's own satisfying, unique sound). I mean, we get used to it after a while but after taking a step back, that shit is loud. Anyways, he was asking me if constantly putting a loud sound like that near your ears (up to your face) could affect your hearing over time. I don't know what to make of this. Have any of you hear of photogs using loud ass slrs getting hearing loss? I haven't noticed anything myself, but that doesn't mean anything.

What a time to be alive.

Did you read what I posted? I'm saying that I think that it is no problem. I'm wondering what others think.

lmaoooooooooooo

mad?

You need to take it down like 10 levels m8
>>2843607
what kind of camera gives off a 100db shutter sound?
>>2843607
Constantly putting loud noises up to your face can cause hearing loss, yes. However, a dslr's shutter/mirror noise is not loud, relative to actual loud noises. Hearing loss starts at around 80 to 90 decibels, and a shutter noise is nowhere near that.
>>2843607
As long as you are not shooting bursts of your own ears non stop for hours on daily I bet you will be fine.
>>2843607
This post made me retarded, I'm suing you for recklessly posting it.

what the fuck am I reading
Looks like Ansel Adams
>>2843607
I took that pic, thx for the post.
Btw yes this is a real concern, that's why it's best to wear protective ear plugs when you shoot with an SLR a lot of pros do it.

>if constantly putting a loud sound like that near your ears (up to your face) could affect your hearing over time.
If you're actually worried about this, you're thinking way too hard about it. Your answer is, simply, no.
largest and most important kek of my live thanks op
>>2843674
Pentacon 6 I guess.
yes this is partially why I went mirrorless, years of slrs really damaged my hearing.
>>2843674
Bronica S2. That mirror slap is earth shattering
>>2843881
this. a literal door slam.
t. i have 2 of those monsters.
I'd be much more worried about a dislocated retina from the earthquake like shutter shock.

Goddamn HDR vomit, it's so disgusting to my eyes. You can see how the photographer wanted to show off his new gear with this one. Wooo, in camera HDR. Fuck off fag, nobody cares.
>>2844047
pls be bait

pls be newfag
>>2843955
Result!
>>2844047
topkek, the central dark cloud thing actually makes it look that way though
Totally OT but that has always been one of my favorite Adams pictures ever.
>>2843610
Mad by at least 6 stops
Ok seriously it's not actually deafness but psychological effect where you're so used to hearing it
>>2843607
You some lawyer looking to start a class action lawsuit, or what?

what is this, golden ears of /p/?
>>2843910
Hasselblads have leaf shutters though. The Bronica S2 has a regular focal plane shutter along with the big ass mirror.
