He definitely has moved toward lower-volume situations, and I think 
it was in _The Big Takeover_ article that someone observed that even 
with the hearing protection, there's no way of filtering out the 
sound waves that get in through the nose.

OTOH, I asked him if the prime factor in Burma continuing or not was 
the volume, and he said it wasn't.  Apparently the combination of 
hearing protection, screening off the drums, and standing behind/next 
to the amps is enough to keep it from damaging his hearing further. 
I recall that list members who have seen the reunion shows mentioned 
that the whole band seemed to be enjoying themselves, and not 
suffering.
