What's that, sonny?

Just got back from having my hearing tested and the results were predictable.

A few years back, I played guitar in a band with a fairly loud amplifier pointed directly at my head. Because we usually had a similar stage layout, I had the amp on my left with the remainder of the band equipment to my right.

My results sheet show significantly diminished hearing in my left ear, with much less damage apparent in my right.

I've resolved to wear earplugs should we ever do a reunion tour.
