[CAUT] Hearing Protection Desirable for Tuning?

[Cy Shuster]

I was told by an audiologist at the Mayo Clinic that tinnitus does not go 
away.  It's caused by irreversible damage to the fine hairs in the air that 
detect sound.  If it's only on one side, see your doctor right away.  It 
could be due to something possibly treatable, such as a pressure on a nerve.

I use Diane's canal caps, and find them to be great, especially tuning large 
uprights.  With the cabinet open, we get a lot more sound than do pianists.
