My life would be very different if I didn’t have the use of my ears. Without my hearing, I wouldn’t be able to work, write songs or act.

So looking after my hearing is essential, if I want a career in music or anything else creative. I use in ear monitors when I perform on stage and moulded ear plugs when I’m just going out on a social one and there’s loud music being played, all from Musicians’ Hearing Services.

It isn’t worth risking the use of your ears just to have a good time.
