They may still be QRL in therapy after the 2009 (SSB) contest season has now
ended :^)

As a old rock 'n roll musician from the 1960's and years of DX'ing and
Contesting in my youth with the headphone volume cranked way UP, I'm very
grateful and consider it a Miracle I can still hear.  I used to come home
after playing LOUD music gigs and listen to my ears ring for several hours
before finally being able to get to sleep.
