Hearing Loss

Hey guys. I thought I'd post this article I found. I have a great amount of hearing loss in my left ear. The high end is gone and my stereo image is off. It bothers me a great deal because I wish I had been more careful. So, I plead with you... turn down the monitors, get a sound pressure meter for your studio and protect your ears against loud noises.

Also, it's a good idea to invest in a good pair of molded in ear monitors if you are a performer (especially a drummer). 2 companies I recommend...
