as a musician jesus christ protect your hearing. listen to music through headphones at safe levels. headphones over earbuds if you can. earbuds are so small they can't make bass sounds properly and emulate bass by being very very close and bouncing the sound around in your closed-off ear canal. you are basically blasting the frequencies right into your ears and letting them rattle about. if you go to/perform at concerts get earplugs and if you do this regularly get custom earplugs that are moulded to fit your ears. your hearing is so so important. I am BEGGING.

#the apprentice casts out another thought #hearing protection #like i think about this a lot because if i lose my hearing im fucked.#one of my lecturers at college had to cancel classes because he developed severe tinnitus #and he's a sound mixer. he needs the most objective idea of what things sound like.#so if you're in sound or music you better be protecting yourself.#but if you're a normal person do it because you do NOT realise how bad hearing loss and tinnitus is.#even if you already have it. it CAN and WILL get worse.#thank you for coming to my tedtalk
