    Musicians, value your hearing

    Musicians, value your hearing

    I had been noticing my inability to define conversations in pubs and bars and knew, after abusing my ears for 37 years of raucous Rock ‘n Roll, most of the real top end had disappeared. Last year I visited Boots to have a hearing test and following the audiologist giving me the bad news, was referred to the hospital for further investigation.

Simon Campbell

‘The master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his information and his recreation, his love and his religion.

James A. Michener (1907-1997)
