I was news director at Cal State Northridge's radio station (an NPR affiliate...ugh!)for a year, then worked another year at KABC radio in L.A. before moving to print and then to corporate journalism.Wally Congerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01324805816842649240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15536029.post-1136568458262555662006-01-06T12:27:00.000-05:002006-01-06T12:27:00.000-05:00I don't buy Townsend's claim that his hearing loss...I don't buy Townsend's claim that his hearing loss was due more to studio headphones. Take into consideration that long before he was famous he was playing clubs for years and years at that ungodly volume and that volume increased as he went to bigger and bigger venues. There is no way that the volume of the headphones in a studio matched the volume of live performances with a two other banging as loudly as they could musicians.<BR/><BR/>I realize that the volume in the studio headphones is closer to the actual ear drum and the volume could cause problems, but I would bet money that his years of live performances caused him to need a higher volume in his headphones.<BR/><BR/>In other words, I think he is full of crap as to the cause of his personal deficiency.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
