Are you a working musician with some hearing loss or tinnitus? What do you do to protect your ears now?
I have mild hearing loss in one ear, extremely (to the point of insanity) protective over my ears and what’s left of them.
I worry about mixing down a track, but then often think of Brian Wilson who was deaf in one ear. I think there’s somebody who I can look up to.
I’m wondering what other musicians are doing to cope.
…not only Brian Wilson but Ted Nugent and Phil Collins ( and of course, Beethoven) all have experience deafness though Beethoven lost most his hearing due lead toxicity from drinking water that were plumbed through lead pipes.
I lost some of my hearing myself. I missed the party bands I used to be on. Had things been different, I would have gotten inner ear monitors that would have protected my ears better from the amps.
If I was mixing a track, I would start with the softest track first then layer it after that turning down my ear phones as I would go along. Its a hazard of the profession…thats show biz.
