Doctors think golfers could be damaging their hearing by using new high-tech golf clubs that make a loud noise when they strike the ball. Medics at Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital found that a man’s hearing had been affected by using a club that sounded “like a gun going off” and other golfers reported that their clubs made unbearably loud noises when hit. One said: “This is not so much a ting but a sonic boom which resonates across the course!” Doctors say players who use the new titanium clubs regularly should wear earplugs to protect their hearing.
