An interesting read about the darker side of sitting in front of the brass section without ear protection. You can find the BBC News article titled “Musician sues Royal Opera House over ruined hearing” by Clive Coleman posted April 1, 2016 here : http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-35938704
A reminder to be wise in using sound shields such as these http://www.canadianaudiologist.ca/shields-screens-and-baffles/ and ear plugs. See the Hearing Page for more resources on the topic.
