Thread: Dont take hearing protection lightly

i have spent allot of my career building sound equipment. in my 50's now and still have great hearing as i always took precautions. but i still keep getting " it needs to be louder" from customers. and heres what happens, they want it loud but dont want to spend the money. end result is they buy a cheaper system and thrash it to the point of clipping and distortion. end result is hearing damage. clipped audio at high volume is far more damaging that clean audio at the same volume.
