This topic effects everyone, young and old. It’s not about loud, it’s about clarity, energizing your music and holding people’s attention. If your sound system is over 5-10 years old, chances are a sound upgrade with get you on your way to re-energizing your congregation. Don’t forget that over 10% of people suffer from some form or hearing loss. A “hearing loop” system can literally bring people to your services for this reason alone (besides your timeless messaging!).
