Russian Slap Contest Videos and Risk of Getting Hearing Loss, Tinnitus and Hyperacusis

[Lucifer]

What seems to be triggering me at the moment is seeing these Russian slap videos contests on YouTube.

If only they knew that by doing that can cause someone to get hearing loss, tinnitus and hyperacusis.

Who else is getting triggered by these videos?

I'd seen that once, and thought are these people really that stupid to slap each other until one is declared a winner. I can think of better things than that, like dropping 50 pound blocks on the toes.

Hadn't heard of them until now. WTF??!! Is there no limit to human stupidity?

I think they are just crazy. Some of the guys are massive and one slap like those can produce brain traumatism. I saw one of those videos where the guys who probably make the money out of filming this crap were laughing their asses off about the contestants. It is just stupid.

@Lucifer Never seen this before. It's insane!! Why would anyone submit themsleves to this? Why would anyone want to do this to someone else? But the crowd looked pretty damn big and was loving it. The guy behind the mic is the former all-time bench press record holder.

That said, there's MMA, boxing etc, but this just looks worse due to the instant knockouts. How many times can somebody be knocked out before serious brain damage happens? And then there, of course, is the possibility of getting tinnitus etc.

To think I live in this country, too.

EDIT: All that said, I cringe at some of the things I have done, ie going onto ADs, having an MRI post tinnitus onset etc.

I saw it a few weeks back, very stupid. Same thought I had.

Maybe this was the origin of the Russian Slap Contests

Who else sees those crazy slap contests and just cringes?!?? 100% they have ear damage lmao like no way ppl can do that and not?!

The hearing protection makes makes all the difference.

Anyway, the sport has seen great improvement since its conception in 2014.

SMH. If only they knew.

Way to go ATA/BTA! As usual, you've done a great job educating the masses.

Any, and I mean any, hit in your head can lead to nasty consequences in the long run. You don't need to be KOed to be worried about your brain. Concussions and brain trauma still being a mystery for the scientific community.

8.000.000.000 of humans as of today. We are a stupid by nature specimen, who's surprised this kind of stuff happens. There's always someone who's going to do it.
I'm a boxer myself and I'm pretty aware of all this.

Anyway, smoking, preservatives, glyphosates, colorants and all those poisonous stuff are in our table almost daily and they eventually have crazy consequences for our health. I suppose we humans are doomed from day one.

SMH. If only they knew.

One thing is for damn sure, STUPID PEOPLE SHOULD NOT BREED.
