As a 73 year old still playing Tuba and Trombone I finally had to be fitted with hearing aids.. I have to take them out to play, as they give me a head sound and the sound comes back at you through the aids. It is only the highs that I have lost, I can still hear reasonably without them but as I said I can't play with them in.When I started my professonal career over 50 years ago, there were no health and safety rules in force and we if we wanted work you just had to put up with the noise. Do anything that you can to try and preserve your hearing. There in nothing worse when you sit at the back of the band than having to ask your neighbour what the conductor said. Regards Max Croot
