I'm convinced that all the guys working the sound control boards are completely deaf, which is why they have to turn it up to 11 for it to sound normal to them. A couple years back I went to a Naturally 7 concert at an old church downtown. a crazy talented a cappella group that put on a good show, but their sound was butchered by the dude at the controls, who decided that the only way to make human voices sound natural is if the walls shake so hard that the stain glass windows damn near shatter.
I don't like the sound through earplugs that much either, but I'll take that over not being able to hear at all a couple decades down the road.
