Hearing loss
Johnny C:
I agree. Earplugs are your homeboys, friend.
Gryff:
What?
stevethepirate:
Butt? What do you mean Butt?
Gryff:
Quarter past one.
The Hammered:
--- Quote from: Misereatur ---The Hammered, I'm guessing that youre about 15-20, right? So if you keep listening to music in low volumes and wear ear protection to concerts it'll sort itself out. If not, see a doctor.

15, yes. I don't know whether the reason I have trouble catching what people say is because of bad hearing or something else, or whether I have more trouble with it than most people, but that's often been the case even before I started listening to loud music. Of course, my hearing could have gotten worse since then and I may just not have noticed.
--- Quote ---If youre playing with other people, buy some ear plugs and take them to band practice/jam sessions. You'll never know when you'll be playing with a stupid guitar player who thinks that turning the amp volume to 10 in a small room is a good idea.
Also, if youre serious about it, and play constantly with people, you might want to invest in custom ear plugs. It will cost you, but its worth it (keeps volumes down while not blocking any frequencies)
--- End quote ---
I don't yet, but it is something I want to do in the future. Yes, I would probably take earplugs unless I knew the group I was with would consistently play at a reasonable volume.
Mikendher: I almost never use headphones, but the stereo certainly can be loud enough to damage my ears; and I often turn the volume up to unsafe levels. I'm not worried that I've done any major damage yet, but if I keep it up at this pace I know I will.
