^^Yup - thats who I work for!

They don't have any branches in Burnaby (yet).
Try these guys:
Burnaby Hearing Center
604-432-6696

Or try Acoustica Hearing
604-294-1080
(Located at 4566 Dawson)

When you call to make an appointment, let them now that you want a basic hearing test, and that you do not need hearing aids. (the appointment times are usually different)

I went to a Dave Matthews Band concernt, and then another concert by anotehr artist within a few days, and I had hearing trouble for a week. When someone spoke it was like I heard feedback.

I agree that it is loud treble like feedback that kills your hearing more than the average bass system. The bottom line is; if it feels uncomfortable, it probably isn't good for you. If it hurts, it's doing damage.

I know that the Audiology department at the university here is always looking for subjects to test on - and they usually need to perform a basic hearing test on you first. Maybe to save from paying someone to test you, you can go there and get a student to test you for free...

Going to a default concert back in Feburary was the same way. I could only hear ringing for an hour afterwards, but I also was only 20 feet from the speakers so...

I want to preserve my hearing for as long as I can. I'm sure you all wish to do the same at one point or another. Hobbes has a great point, if you are worried about your hearing, get tested at your school if they offer it. [img]smile.gif[/img]
