DJ Health issues..Ear Problems for Sound, Lungs Problem for Smoke..

Well, being born comes with a very high risk of dying. 😉

Yeah in the end I think live will kill me.

I wear earplugs all the time!!!

I put them in as soon as I arrive at the venue, and only take them out for sound check, when I need to make adjustments to the sound, or if I need to correct any issues (feedback, sources of him, etc.)

Prolonged exposure to moderately high SPL is just as damaging as shorter periods of exposure to higher SPLs.

Luckily, all the venues I work at are smoke-free indoors, but you work long enough in the music biz, you will encounter smoking venues.

I also eat as best as I can, and I pack healthy snacks for the gig to head off the temptation of bar food, and many nights, I don’t even touch a drink! I’m hardly a teetotaler, but it does make a HUGE difference in how you feel before, during, and after the gig when you stay off the sauce.

Loud Ground Shaking Music:- EAR & Brain
so I finished a gig last week, the lights come on, music went off… and as i took my headphones off, i was suddenly DEAF. litterally couldnt hear, started panicking and getting all hot and bothered, tried yawning to pop my ears and that didnt work.
Pulled my hands to rub my ears and boom ! still had my ear plugs/protectors in HAHA i was instantly relieved from the panic attack.
as for the other health issues… IMMUNE ! 😉
