BBC News - Lifelong musicians 'have better hearing':
'via Blog this'
Playing a musical instrument throughout your life protects your hearing in old age, a Canadian study suggests.
The study, published in Psychology and Aging, carried out hearing tests on 74 adult musicians and 89 non-musicians.
It found a 70-year-old musician's hearing was as good as that of a 50-year-old who did not play.
Action on Hearing Loss said all people - including musicians - should try to prevent hearing damage in the first place.
