Rock Music is the Ruination of Young Ears.

We all know about Pete Townsend's deafness, but now even Paul McCartney has stated that his hearing is not what it used to be (Current issue of Rolling Stone).

I recently discovered that going from Thomastic Dominant strings to Eudoxa Covered Gut has removed the discomfort associated with the violin. Try it.

We have a special kind of earplug in the US called a "Hearos" which is specifically designed for musicians (especially rock musicians). It has only about 15 dB attenuation (instead of 25 to 30) but it also has a much flatter attenuation curve--so it does not filter out the high frequencies more than the midrange (Nothing filters low frequency --which is a problem with discos).

I know...we're going to have a generation of hard-of-hearing kids because they listen to rock music so LOUD!
