The chances are we’ve all done it, stood too close to the speakers at a gig, or danced the night away next to a speaker, waking up the next day with faint ringing in the ears – a memory of the antics the night before.

Going back 20, 30 years ago, the affects of prolonged noise exposure were not as widely known as it is today.  Pete Townshend the legendary guitarist is amongst the latest musician to comment on how his hearing is showing signs of deterioration.  Whilst this is a common and natural sign of aging, prolonged noise exposure has played its part.

The Who, famous for hosting the loudest concert worldwide for over ten years (at Charlton Athletics football ground) reached a whopping 120 decibels – with 90-95 decibels being level at which sustained exposure may result in hearing loss.
