RE: The 5 GOLDEN Steps To Becoming An Pro International DJ, Steemit Rock Star, Or Master Of Any Profession... Pt. 1

in #music9 years ago

Very interesting article. I've heard that DJs, at least the ones doing shows, can often develop hearing issues as a result of being around the loud music all the time. Do you have any experience with this and if so how has it affected your work?

Sort:  

I don't, because I've always worn custom-designed earplugs that bring down the decibel level for the last 12 years. I do take my hearing very seriously, and never blast my ears out - even when I go out to the clubs to party, I'll bring them if I remember.

However, I do know a few DJs that play huge clubs every night and their hearing has really gone - so some of the wedding planners I deal with that also use them are always complaining that they're BLASTING the speakers way too loud, simply because of the damage they've done to their ears over the years...
