Do You Hear Better than a Rock Drummer?
Tinnitus, or ringing in the ears, is one of those medical mysteries whose cause is unknown to medical science. A common thread is loud noise, whether it be a single exposure to a jack hammer or constant traffic noise as one drives with the window down.
However it is caused, the resultant ringing is particularly troubling to musicians as it interferes with the enjoyment of music. Check out this CNN-produced video featuring Dr. Sanjay Gupta and Lars Ulrich.
