Loud music and hearing - real-life tales from gigs and clubs:

Have you ever come out of a gig and realised your ears are ringing?  Or have you ever left a club and found everything sounds a bit dull?

If you have you are not alone.  Should you be worried?  More and more people are starting to realise the risk of damaging their hearing from loud music, but many of us still don't know how to protect ourselves from over-exposure to it.

If you are experiencing problems with your hearing after a loud gig, you are not alone.  There is lots of information on our site about how to protect your hearing.  To find out why you should start protecting it now, take a look at some of the stories we've been sent from music fans, musicians and DJs.  Read stories from people who have damaged their hearing or suffer from ringing ears.
