Nine out of 10 young people aged between 16-30 experienced signs of hearing damage after a night out in a noisy venue,reported BBC News website.John Low,chief executive of RNID said music lover,musicians and DJs could take simple steps to protect themselves from damaging decibels on a night out while performing.
