But what’s worse is when you see the technician trying to make adjustments while the band plays and makes the bass so dominant that I cannot make out the words to the song because the singers are drowned out. This is not just my complaints but also comes from my wife and guests that we’ve taken to the square. And this happens at Spanish Springs, Lake Sumter and Brownwood.
Quite possibly the sound technicians are hearing impaired.

The threshold of pain is 115 dB. And as people get older they lose the higher frequencies. So, I think that the sound engineers think that because we are all old that we are ALL practically deaf.
......Years ago my wife had my hearing tested because she thought that my hearing was going bad. The test said that my hearing was good. She then realized that I was just good at ignoring her !
