BBC News Hearing Damage from Loud Music

See Dr Greg Nassar from the Harley Street Hearing group being interviewed on BBC News after the landmark High Court judgement on hearing damage from loud music.

Anyone exposed to significant noise is prone to hearing loss, tinnitus, loudness discomfort or intolerance, and hyperacusis – where sounds that were once tolerable become intolerable.

This judgement will have implications about the risk of hearing damage for musicians and the leisure industry all over the country.

Dr Nassar talks about custom-made ear plugs and demonstrates the damaging levels of noise exposure in the second BBC News interview below.

We see musicians all over the UK.  If you have any hearing concerns for yourself or your employees please call us on 020 7486 1053 or complete below.
