Game Sounds, Highs and Lows

[Hudsheen#Fired]

If it was a work site, hearing protection would be required. It is definitely an OSHA violation. The University is exposing itself to a liability that can easily be avoided. I will definitely have my decibel meter on and recording on Thursday night. If it is above the threshold decibel level you can rest assured John Dugas will get an email from me. Saturday night was totally UNACCEPTABLE!!!!!!!!

Ringing in the ears is called Tinitus and is caused by exposure to loud noise over an extended period of time. If you cannot carry on a conversation without yelling in the face of the person you are talking to, it's too loud and hearing protection is required. Look it up on the OSHA web site.

I am not encouraging anybody to go to games until they do something about the loud PA system. I do not want to expose them to that. It is a health issue that can easily be avoided. I have been wearing hearing protection at games for some time now because I have Tinitus and don't want it to get worse. There is no cure for Tinitus.

I really hope you are being facetious. Imagine going to a concert and movies and complaining about sound

Oh I’m sure you got Dugas shaking in his boots scared of that email.

Quit being a douche canoe. The PA was way too loud. I also have tinnitus and it sucks.

The music is fine. In genre and volume. The PA is retarded.

I do not go to concerts and movies. I do not subject myself to loud noises. On job sites I wear hearing protection. I go to games and wear hearing protection. It's the people who don't know better that the university is harming. Whether They are doing it intentionally or not is beside the point. They are damaging people's hearing and it has got to stop.

Same here. I’ve had tinnitus for years and it is stressful. Saturday was way over the top.

I have tinnitus as well but come on man. A sporting event is a loud environment period. The PA was loud and they are addressing it. If you feel like your ears are being damaged then don’t put yourself in that environment. It’s pretty simple.

I do not go to concerts and movies. I do not subject myself to loud noises. I wear hearing protection when i cut my grass or use power equipment. On job sites I wear hearing protection. I go to football games and wear hearing protection. It's the people who don't know better that the university is harming. Whether They are doing it intentionally or not is beside the point. They are damaging people's hearing and it has got to stop.

….hey you kids, get off of my lawn

You need to get off of Helmet's case. I've been a drummer and musician all of my life. I have tinitus. You want to trade ears with me? If you don't, then shut up. You seem to think it's funny. It's not. So again, shut up.

I was telling a good friend, I hope someone brings a decibel meter to the game. I am glad Helmet is. I wish he would have had one Saturday night so he could have gauged how outrageous it was.

I think the level, although lower, will still be too loud. You can't tell me the guy running the audio board wasn't told it was too loud during the game. You could have lowered the volumn by half and it would still be too loud...

So why not educate the university as well on what they’re doing that they don’t realize. You’re making it sound like if your meter says it’s too loud you’re going to sue the school.

It's too bad you don't know the difference between to and too. Looks like you left your brain at home.

He won't get an email from me he will get one from my Lawyer.

You can't be serious? If so they have some lower tier lawyers on this board who can give you bad advice.
