How many retired high-school band directors can
you name with perfect
hearing? They're also exposed intermittently, yet every one that I
know is somewhere between somewhat hearing-impaired to almost deaf as
a tree.
Although there is certainly a correlation between hearing
impairment and certain musically related occupations, we
must be careful to avoid assuming causation!
Perhaps hearing impairment causes certain people to go into those jobs!
