I couldn't help but notice that my sense of hearing has diminished somewhat as a result of constantly listening to loud music. It began as a young child listening to rock n roll, progressing to heavy metal in my teens, and finally techno and house as an adult.
As a full time DJ and producer, how do you put up with the noise withstanding minimal damage to your ears? Do you wear earplugs at shows/gigs? I couldn't see myself wearing ear plugs at home, but at shows it is understandable due to the high decibel output.
I have heard from others that it is actually the high end frequencies that damage the ears rather than the low. Is that true?
Would listening to music at a moderate level while DJing damage the ears over a sustained amount of time?
I am becoming worried about my hearing :\
What's your take on the issue?
