As somebody who has everlasting ringing within the ears (tinnitus) because of listening to injury from concert events, I need to take exception to how loud the music is performed at sporting occasions as of late. Regardless of quotes from Dodger gamers and executives stating how “great” the loudness at Dodger Stadium is, they’re placing the paying clients and staff in danger for listening to loss with the extreme quantity. Entertaining the followers is one factor, assaulting the fragile instrument that’s our ears is kind of one other. I’m certain they might flip it all the way down to safer decibel ranges and everybody will nonetheless have a superb time.

Dodger Stadium hosts a Army Appreciation Night time, a Salvadoran Heritage Night time, and a Guatemalan Heritage Night time. However we are going to by no means see an Autism Spectrum Night time. The ear-shattering sound system would trigger followers to run from the stadium screaming in ache and terror.
I undergo from a situation referred to as hyperacusis, the place loud noises could cause ear ache lasting for days and even weeks. It’s uncommon within the normal inhabitants, however extra frequent amongst autistic folks. I really like baseball, and used to like going to Dodger Stadium from the yr it opened till 20-something years in the past. However now I’d must put on industrial-strength ear safety.
