Hearing Safety Disclaimer

Percussion instruments can produce sound levels high enough to damage hearing. Damage from noise is cumulative and permanent.

• Use hearing protection whenever you play or rehearse at loud volumes.
• Take regular breaks during long sessions.
• Protect children’s hearing with protection made for their size.
• If you notice ringing, buzzing or muffled hearing, stop and consult a doctor or audiologist.
