Noise-induced hearing loss is 100% irreversible but 100% preventable.

September marks the seventh anniversary of Help Musicians UK's hearing protection service. They've opened a number of new clinics this year, including one in Aberdeen (alongside Glasgow & Edinburgh).

They can provide heavily discounted audiological assessments and custom-made hearing protection.

For a one-off payment of £50* you can receive:

• An audiological assessment and check-up from a specialist in musicians’ hearing (worth up to £100)
• A set of custom-made, ACS Pro Series plugs (worth £149)
• Expert advice on referral routes and next steps to manage any problems
• Option of wax removal, if necessary, at a subsidised rate of £50

*25% discount for Musicians Union and ISM members
