High Court judgement on acoustic noise sends shockwaves through music industry
A viola player who suffered a life-changing hearing injury that left him unable to work or even listen to his own son play, has won a landmark High Court judgment against the Royal Opera House (ROH).
It is the first time a judge has scrutinised the music industry's legal obligations towards musicians' hearing with the case brought by Chris Goldscheider now having huge implications for the industry and the health and safety of musicians as a whole.
