I have the opposite problem - a reduction in hearing at mid-range
frequencies. However, wandering around Troyes at Christmas, I found the

No idea what Troyes is but if I hear any 'music' coming from anwhere in a
public place (except live Christms music at Christmas) I simply avoid the
place.

Even worse, though, is radio being played in shops. It can't be listened to
by staff if they're working so why have it? I know you probably don't know
