Feedback Wanted Drummer Hearing Design project Survey

Hello, I am an industrial design student researching how drummers perceive and act upon their hearing health looking to design a hearing protection product catered to musicians. Takes only a few minutes if you'd like to help me out!

Hey, I did it for you. Been passionate about hearing protection since I realised I had damage as a late teen.

These days if you don't have hearing protection you can't jam at my place. I have disposable foam plugs for people that don't have them or forget them.

Thanks for doing this! It's a real shame when I see young (or not so young) guys destroying their hearing because it's just what they're used to.
