Live Sound Ear Protection and Sound Levels

When working with in live sound you should seriously consider wearing earplugs or some other kind of protection. It will help keep the sound level to your ears much lower. In general a few minutes of very high intensity can already damage your hearing.

The most common type of damage to your ears is the frequency range you can hear. When exposing your ears to loud levels your ears will simply not pick up the higher and lower frequencies anymore. Since most lower frequencies are not that important this will not have the biggest impact. The higher frequencies that you can not hear anymore will have a much bigger impact on how you listen to sound and music. Sounds will sound more “closed” and they will loose their brightness. And the worse is you will not be able to hear the difference because you don’t have any means of comparing because you can not hear high frequencies any more.

Some musicians, live sound engineers and people working in environments like factories, clubs and bars sometimes underestimate this effect. It is true that your hearing will get worse anyway when you age. But this effect can be very strong even when you are young. Having the hearing of a someone at the age of 60 at the age of 25 is not rare.
