Seems like I'm in a minority of one so far (well, me plus my friend & flute player Pat Baldwin form Rushden). I had my hearing tested last year and was told it was fine for my age (40)...but I'm starting to think that my contemporaries might not be so lucky and might not know it. I must admit I just cannot for the life of me see the attraction of music that physically hurts my eardrums - am I ultra-sensitive? I think I'd better keep sticking to acoustic gigs....
