Hear here
« on: February 03, 2014, 02:08 AM »
Here's some old news from a CBC article with the catchy title of "Noise at pro sports games can cause long-term hearing loss".  You don't need to read past the headline because you already know how the story ends.

Photographers have been wearing earplugs at NBA games for many, many years. Photogs have been earplugin' concerts for decades. Most wear earplugs or full noise-cancelling headsets when shooting car/motorcycle races.

If you cover pro sports or concerts, and even if you don't, do yourself a favour and always carry a few pairs of earplugs in your camera bag. Your ears will thank you. You never know when you'll be shooting inside a noisy factory, at a construction site, near screaming teenage girls, on an airport tarmac, etc.
