Letter: They need to turn down the volume at Dodger Stadium

As a person who has a permanent ringtone in the ears (tinnitus) following the damage heard from the concerts, I must be an exception to the way music is heavy during sporting events these days. Despite the quotes from Dodger players and managers indicating how “great” Dodger’s volume is, they put paid customers and employees in danger of hearing loss with excessive volume. Entertaining fans is one thing, attacking the delicate instrument that is our ears is another. I’m sure they could lower it at safer decibels and everyone will have a good time.

Dodger Stadium organizes an evening of military appreciation, a salvadorian heritage evening and a Guatemalan heritage evening. But we will never see one night at the spectrum of autism. The overwhelming audio system would cause fans to run from the screaming stadium in pain and terror.

I suffer from an affection called hyperacusia, where strong noises can cause ear pain that last days or even weeks. It is rare in the general population, but more frequent in autistic people. I love baseball and I love going to the Dodger stadium from the year it opened up to 20 years. But now I should wear ear protection with industrial resistance.

I liked the seats of the stands but I would not stay there – far too strong under the audio system.

Of course, it is “entertainment”. Of course, players love enthusiasm. But there are seats below or near the speakers which are simply painful in the ears.
