“Musicians are 57% more likely to experience tinnitus and are almost four times more likely to develop Noise Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL) than the general public. Sound onstage can reach up to 110 decibels (dB), the equivalent of a jackhammer. Prolonged exposure to loud noise causes hair cells of the inner ear to be damaged, leading to permanent hearing loss.” (Source: Hearing Health Foundation).
