well i guess in the UK you don't have idiot sound system people who
run the highs too high and don't bother checking the room for proper
EQ prior to starting the party. here in the US that sort of stupidity
is common. fortunately, at least locally, people are beginning to get
clued in to the possibility of hearing damage and more sound people
are actually checking the rooms with noise generators and spectrum
analyzers in order to set up proper EQing.

i go out every week. i take care of my hearing. as a musician,
anything less would be total stupidity. i have left plenty of raves
because the sound was too shrill or harsh.
i hope you get tinnitus real soon. i've already got a partial case of
it and it is no fun. when you're 30 and your ears are constantly
ringing, think of me, OK?
