To prevent studio feedback
(20)
To look professional
(5)
To hear callers on the phone
(3)
To modulate their voice
(2)
To pose for publicity pictures
(2)
Kickbacks from the headphone lobby
(1)
Because everyone else in radio does
(1)
To hold the hairpiece in place
(1)
To hear the highs and the lows
(1)
Show producers no longer use hand signals
(1)
They want to go deaf
They don't know how to stop
Their boss told them to
I refuse to wear them
To hear what their voice is sounding on the air.
