Do either of you use ear protection during the concert? It is quite possible that the problem is your ears being overloaded by the high volume at the concerts. Today's concerts are quite loud and unfortunately can be damaging to your hearing. That helium effect on Adam's voice that is often discussed is also ear damage and not a problem with the sound system or with Adam. If you have ever had that effect then I would STRONGLY recommend that you ALWAYS use ear protection at concerts. Unfortunately by the time people start having issues with muffled sound or the helium sound even though it doesn't persist to that level permanent damage of some sort has occurred. The more you are exposed to overly loud noises the worse it will get. Many, many, many musicians have permanent hearing loss. Just as work areas with high decibel noise require ear protection, today's concerts are often the equivalent of standing near a jet engine. One of the things that could be happening is that a certain frequency of sound being broadcast during the concert actually irritates your ears and causes everything to sound muffled due to the ears not being able to cope with a high level of sound at certain frequencies. It can also cause drop outs where some sounds will disappear completely. Sound is vibration of airwaves and the high bass levels at concerts can cause many issues. Your heart rhythm can be affected, pacemakers can be affected, sinus cavities can be affected causing any congestion to shift sometimes causing blockage of the interior ear canal. I'm not trying to be a party pooper but depending on where you are and how close to any of the speakers you are concerts can be dangerous to your hearing and health and people should really be more aware of the risks, especially since by the time you become aware of a problem the damage has already been done and is mostly irreversible. Just because the noticeable problem is only at the concert doesn't mean nothing happened to your ears. There are great ear plugs available that do not totally block the sound so you can still enjoy live music without damaging your ears further. I would encourage everyone to do your research on this especially if you attend a lot of concerts or are around very loud noise on a regular basis. The friends I was with had the same opinion as I did about the sound, so it wasn't just my ears. We were standing kind of right of center, nearer to the speakers, so that may have been a factor. It was just hard to hear the words clearly, kind of like if he was inside a box. He is a very articulate singer. He doesn't mumble or slur his words much at all. Anyway, I loved the show and I'm glad the vids are so good. He was absolutely stunning, as usual. Thank you, Rihannsu......wow! Lots to take in. Almost always wear the Etymotics earplugs but will make sure I always do now! .......as you say, so many musicians seem to have hearing problems...Roger Taylor being one. Do you think Adam's in-ear monitors are enough to protect his hearing? (When Holly (on the Celebrity Juice team) screamed in his ear on the show, he quickly covered his ear and said something like, 'that's my good ear!'.) '
