Is Your Music Too Loud?
We ALL love to crank up the sound system and motivate everyone with the music BUT is all the music hazardous for your health?
My friend and fellow Fitpro Debbie Knight messaged me a while ago and asked me to pop something into the newsletter to see how other professionals are dealing with this.
“I wondered if you’d be willing to do a survey on your instructor page/newsletter regarding deafness in instructors. I know of several Fitpros who are deaf and some like me now wear hearing aids ( hate them and sound gets distorted !)”
Debbie has been teaching in the South West for decades she has a big following and always teaches the latest trends and brands.
“For the first couple years I chickened out of wearing them, as I resisted how deaf I was getting ( called it hard of hearing lol) but I had to get on with them”
Debbie goes on to say:
“People often think ‘deaf’ people are just rude or ignoring them. I had to start saying I’m a bit deaf as an intro to every class”
At first Debbie didn’t like doing it but she had to let her class members know that she was struggling with hearing and being an Exercise To Music teacher becoming deaf was not something she had ever thought would happen to her
“I can hear music and birdsong just struggle with speech and occasionally I miss a beat of music especially if I’m turning around or doing a burpee, So I have to listen lots & lots to my music so I know it so well even if I can’t hear it”
Debbie feels there is a huge opportunity for offering classes to people struggling with hearing loss or deafness.
“Yes we can feel the beat but that’s not the same as hearing it fully . I’m considering learning BSL with a view to offering Fitness Pilates & Fitness Yoga as a special populations niche class and it would be interesting to know how many of us older Fitpros are losing our hearing plus I think the younger generation will become deaf much sooner – earphone & very loud music to blame”
I know there are Fitpros reading this newsletter who do offer classes for the deaf and who wear hearing aids it would be wonderful to get your take and advice on this subject.
“As teenager I used to go to discos & clubs often my ears would ring for hours after but now I have tinnitus 24/7, maybe a project for the future !! Deaf a lates”
Add Debbie Knight as a friend on Facebook and send her a message or write to me I think this is such an interesting topic and one we should start a conversation about. **** Remember…. LOOK after your hearing before you crank up the music that bit louder*****
