How To Prevent Hearing Loss
A good analogy:
"If you have a field of grass and you walk on it, you compress the grass and it bends down over the night, and in a few days, it springs back up and is OK again. But if you keep doing that over and over, you wear a path in it. And that's kind of what happens with hearing loss."

That is a great analogy. It is important to protect your hearing... The band is about to start carrying around a bucket full of free (cheap) earplugs for our crowd. One night of loud noise can really bother your ears for a couple of days! Then it straightens out... so the grass analogy does makes sense.
