A former councillor in Scarborough has called for a change to the law claiming a music gig in the spa town has 'ruined' his life.
Mark Vesey, after a music night at the Spa Grand Hall in July, claims the noise levels left him with a persistent whistling in his ears. Now suffering from tinnitus, he said he can no longer hear the birds sing because of the high pitched sound. The venue insists all guidelines were followed but Mr Vesey argues there should be stricter measures. Everyone is at risk of hearing damage after just 15 minutes in a nightclub, he said. Concert venues should be forced to monitor levels, he argues.
The HSE has declined to investigate further, as there is insufficient evidence that exposure levels in the hall were above recommendations. The issue isn't covered by law, Mr Vesey outlines, only by guidance from the HSE. This is despite warnings from the Tinnitus Society that exposure to higher noise levels for the length of a concert could be damaging to hearing. The council-run venue did publicise the warning, he acceded, but argued it should be more prominent.
