I lost about 80% of my hearing thanks to ototoxic (defined: potentially toxic to hearing/aural nerves, like aspirin, which is why they tell you not to take more than 6/day) I was hospitalized because I drunkenly wrecked my motorcycle. Yay war on (some) drugs! (see tinyurl.com/1mn for the real history behind the drug war: to replace slave labor with prison labor) Anyway I have tons of mp3s on my computer and I regularly watch movies and dvds on it but the volume only goes so high, and sometimes max output isn't enough. I used to have it wired to my receiver in my entertainment center across my room, then piped back to my computer desk with a 25-foot cable which I'd then plug my earbuds into so I could sit at my desk with my headphones on and watch movies, having the sound pumped out 25 feet to my receiver amp and back and there was no noticeable delay. But I moved my entertainment center and then eventually moved it back and I've been too lazy to reconnect all the wires. Using one of these would be much simpler, provided it has a 1/8th stereo output jack. This is something I would need to add to my computer.
