I've seen Animal Collective live, and I suffered permanent hearing loss from that show!
The world's worst is when you find yourself going like Mother Hubbard and cupping your hand behind your ear. I was a major glutton for volume: 'Gotta feel it, gotta hear it.' Sooner or later you're going to pay the reaper.
I gave my eardrums to MGM. And it's true: I really did.
People are going deaf because music is played louder and louder, but because they're going deaf, it has to be played louder still.
My hearing after 50 years of playing music sometimes isn't too great.
Imagine a plague you catch through your ears.
I've always worn earplugs, but I'm sure my hearing's not great.
Some people can't physically hear things. A kid that listens to Metallica or something can't hear that, because he's filled himself up with this stuff, he physically can't hear a banjo or a harp or something.
I've had tinnitus for about 10 years, but since I started protecting my ears it hasn't got any worse. Looking after your ears is unfortunately something you don't think about until there's a problem. I wish I'd thought about it earlier.
He claimed that nearby gun thunder cleared the mind - but most everybody else agreed it made you daft.
I was often in the pit lane, the noise was indescribable and I've no doubt that is why my hearing was affected.
I shot with it a lot. I still do now. That is why I am hard of hearing.
Let me explain something to you - you have not been standing in front of thirty thousand decibals for thirty-five years - write me a note!
The sound levels on stage were so loud with all that constant banging and smash, smash, smash; it did untold damage to the fine nerve endings in the inner ear, though it is worse in the left, which is the side of my snare drum and the monitor.
Deaf? If you're near there, no wonder you are deaf.
Its rock n' roll that has done my hearing in.
I always have my Beats by Dr. Dre headphones turned up high. I'll probably be deaf by age 50.
Beer makes people deaf.
My favorite thing is being able to travel around the world and perform for my fans. I think I've lost 80 percent of my hearing. I definitely have very loud fans.
My ears are shot. I'm a musician.
Hearing loss is a terrible thing because it cannot be repaired.
We suspect Dr. Clutterbuck's sense of hearing must be injured: for him the 'ear trumpet' magnifies but distorts sound, rendering it less distinct than before.
Of course, I also attribute some of my hearing loss to being in the infantry in World War II. It's probably a combination of heredity and noise exposure.
My hearing loss was essentially due to noise exposure during my military service. I was on an anti-submarine sub-chaser in WWII, and we had lots of depth charges going off all around us. There were plenty of explosions, and they were loud!
I have terrible hearing trouble. I have unwittingly helped to invent and refine a type of music that makes its principal proponents deaf.
