One thing we don't hear all that much about is how bad our environment is to our hearing. Most elderly people have significant hearing loss, whereas people who live in remote place typically keep a near-perfect hearing until their death, even when they die very old. It's not clear exactly what does that, but our sound environments are terrible.

I heard loud sound in a restaurant is something that gets people to get out faster, thus freeing space for new patrons. So it might be something that will require legislation.
