You know that ringing you sometimes get in your ears after a gig? Usually it goes away the next morning or the next day. Now imagine that same scenario, but the ringing never stops. Pretty scary, right? And that's not an uncommon circumstance. Ringing in your ears, which is called tinnitus, is only one of the occupational issues musicians face from repeated exposure to loud sound pressure levels. Permanent hearing loss is also common, and can not only impair your capacity to understand speech, but also hinder your abilities as a musician, mixer or producer.
