The truth about Drumming and hearing loss

I've worn hearing protection since I was a teenager. Thank you mom.
I still wear them. in 2020 my hearing capabilities are normal for my age.  That's the good news.  Now the warnings. 
  • Drums are loud.
  • Without hearing protection you will do irreversible damage.
  • Drumming and playing recorded music through the headset at loud volumes will also do damage. 
  • Please buy suitable hearing protection and use it. 
  • Many of my colleagues have buzzing ears or worse.
