Does Music Make You Hear Better

Wired.com has an interesting article about how music actually improves your hearing.

It cites a paper published in this month's Ear and Hearing journal (who knew! - there's a journal for everything nowadays!)

It appears that, according to this paper, music and mainly musicians have enhanced speech-in-noise capabilities due to the skills developed in trying to hear their instruments and dialogue during the cacophony of sounds and stimulation.

Hmmm...

Ever talked to a musician when they're just hangin' out? They can't hear shit.

Maybe that's my problem...I should blast music behind me...then they'll totally hear every word I say! Riiight.
