Mick Fleetwood promotes turning down the volume
Rock-n-roll musician Mick Fleetwood is starting a campaign today to turn down the volume.
The Fleetwood Mac icon and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee is teaming up with a hearing aid battery manufacturer for a program called "It's Hip to Hear."
The program is designed to promote prevention and treatment of hearing loss. Fleetwood's career was behind a drum set.
Fleetwood and Energizer EZ Change are producing a quiet concert at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The concert audience will hear a band's live vocals and music simulcast through portable FM radio headsets, rather than speakers or amplifiers used in traditional concerts.
