DJ Paul Oakenfeld Urges Hearing Protection
If you know anything about electronic music, you’ll know that Paul Oakenfeld is a huge name. One of the bigger DJ’s from the 90’s, he was one of the predecessors to the new Electronic Dance Music trend that’s risen in recent popularity. As with any concert venue, the noise levels at such performances are always unsafe. Oakenfeld has recently come out in support of tinnitus awareness, urging musicgoers to protect their hearing:
Marking the launch of tinnitus awareness week, Oakenfold said: “I urge music lovers to wear ear defenders to gigs and avoid dangerously high volumes on personal music players.”
The British Tinnitus Association (BTA) is hosting an information day in Leeds on March 15 to provide help, advice and support to people affected.
It will include talks on the impact of the condition, treatments and the availability of local support.
