Hi drummers, without wanting to bore you all, I’m basically a major hypochondriac. I’ve been drumming seriously for a year and have worn ear protection religiously. I wear in ears AND some of this industrial Peltor things over the top. And yet I still freak about my ears. I feel a bit of pressure in one of them, and it leads me to think things like ‘no matter how much I protect my ears, it’s impossible to escape ear damage’. I never have ringing in my ears after playing or anything like that, but I’m just worried to be told that some how my ears are absorbing damage, no matter what I put over them. And it just gets me down and bummed cause it ruins something I love.
But am I just nuts?! Can anybody tell me it IS possible to be a drummer and not get hearing damage? Thanks all.
