Hey Hopper, the sound engineer who set up the Ramones may have taken a hit
lots worse than you did. As someone else pointed out, the stuff you hear at
a concert isn't high enough frequency to do (much) damage.
However, all it takes is one instance of feedback accidentally fed through
headphones to do damage.
I was tested the following week and permanent high end loss was determined.
This incident led immediately to a new band rule: Whoever touches the board
while I'm not looking has his/her hands chopped off.
