Taking precautions

Many nightclubs will pump out music at around 100 decibels -- a level similar to having workmen drilling right next to you. Hearing damage can occur at a mere 85 decibels. Turning down the volume would seem to be the simplest solution. But it's not that simple, according to Rob Barton. Barton is the production manager at Egg Nightclub in London. "People come to clubs to listen to their favorite music and hear it as they've never heard it before. ... They come to a club to hear it on a big loud sound system with lots of flashing lights and have an experience that they don't normally get," Barton said. So the music is loud, but the Egg takes measures to protect both clubbers and staff. The venue is designed so that customers can see upon entry quieter areas they may want to take a break in later. They also have signs warning people that they're entering high decibel areas and letting them know where to get earplugs. Part of the problem, Lutman said, is that young people minimize the warning signs of hearing damage. "Young people tend to push risk aside quite readily, and as we all know, many people go to nightclubs and don't protect their hearing." Tinnitus sufferer Millichamp urges music lovers to wear earplugs. "It's not very attractive, and they do reduce the noise, but it's better than having a constant noise 24 hours a day," he said. Dow agrees that simple precautions are the best defense. "Keep going to clubs, go to festivals, enjoy music. That is what it's there for," he said. "But when you are doing that, take some sensible steps. Don't expose yourself to long-term hearing damage because if you do that, pretty soon you're not going to enjoy the very things that you love."
