Here's the problem I see. Our society insists on helping those with 
disabilities. As long as that's true, I think society also has a right to 
demand that people that want help not do anything to make their condition 
worse and more costly. And that's what people do when they smoke and 
listen to loud rock music. I doubt seriously if mowing the lawn once a 
week will significantly damage normal hearing.
