June 14, 2011. Seattle, WA. Hearing Loss Blues , a new MP3 released by Amazon.com, is a light-hearted song that looks at the effects of noise exposure on hearing. Written by Dave Stern and performed by Paul Buchignani, Hearing Loss Blues was initially conceived for use as an introduction to hearing conservation training sessions. Upbeat and fun, it was intended to engage professionals' attention in order to begin a more serious dialogue about the effects of hearing loss and best practices in prevention.
Thanks to its clever lyrics and bluesy beat, it quickly caught on with audiologists outside of training sessions. In the song, the singer laments having hearing loss and tinnitus, not wanting to wear ear protection during 30 years on a noisy job ("...'Cause I was too tough") and participating in loud recreational activities. He ends with a plea: "So please listen to me, or you will have the hearing loss blues, too."
