Listen up...

Just finished reading Derek's blog about his diminished hearing due to years of playing loud music without earplugs. He wisely suggests wearing earplugs all the time, and has been taking his own advice for about 3 years now.

This served as a reminder of my own hearing test I had just over a year ago. I was amazed at how much the hearing in my left ear had deteriorated.

I think I'll book an appointment to go down to the hearing booth and see how things have gone in the last year.

One thing to remember about your hearing: It will never improve. So, be nice to your ears.
