Prince's hearing

HOW did he protect his hearing during his long and loud career? I started the Prince's vocal cords thread, so I might as well work through every isolated body part if no one minds.

Great question! I wonder if he had tinitus, that constant earring issue.

Surely I'm not the only person who noticed that, in later years, he was back to using "old-fashioned" on-stage monitors? I wonder why? hmmm

It also has to do with strategically placing the monitors on and around the stage to protect your hearing too.

At concerts, I always see the performers wearing the special ear plugs. If you look hard enough during some videos of Prince's live performances, you will see he wears earplugs.
