Woodstock Attendees still Affected by Concert
It’s been 50 years since Woodstock, and concert attendees are still living with the consequences of listening to loud rock and roll music for hours and hours at a time.

Approximately one in 10 (or 12 percent) currently wear hearing aid devices, or have in the past.
