Both my dad and I had pretty good hearing (the ability to pick up a conversation, e.g.)Only I have attempted to become a musician, but he was a huge music fan.epiphaniushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03585850243618062185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4040112777996013749.post-82960068457020161402009-08-25T08:12:12.304-07:002009-08-25T08:12:12.304-07:00Most important: Protect your hearing in loud envir...Most important: Protect your hearing in loud environments, especially clubs. Wear earplugs. You can get good ones for $10 from Etymotic.com - they're nearly as good as the custom fit ones that cost 10x and you won't freak out when you leave them behind somewhere.<br /><br />I think the essence of the study mentioned in the WIRED article is simple - musicians are more MINDFUL listeners.
