TINNITUS

Me_

Something I have never seen discussed on this board. My advice to everyone here who I assume is a little younger than me. TURN IT THE FUCK DOWN! I loved it loud also. Now I have tinnitus in my right ear. THERE IS NO CURE! I though I was just jamming all those year not knowing that I was damaging my ears. Now I live with a ringing in my right ear. Maddening to say the least. I feel like I have been hijacked. If you go to concerts I reccomend ear plugs. You don't want this shit. Protect your ears. I don't have it 24/7 in other words somedays it won't ring but it always feels like it wants to. When my mom use to scream turn it down you're gonna hurt your ears I wish I would have listened.

I've been using ear plugs for almost two decades.... Mostly because after the first couple concerts I went to I didnt like how my ears would be ringing for two days later. Then I tried ear plugs, could hear everything perfectly fine, and didnt have the two days of ringing. I never went back.

It's horrible wake. My shit would ring after concerts also but would go away after a little while. Too late for me now.

Anybody on here in the music industry who knows anyone with this condition I would appreciate if they could share any info with me on who to lessen the ringing sound. ALOT of musicians suffer from this.

A whole shitload have it. Seriously need to put more focus on it.

I know a lot of musicians who like to use the in-the-ear monitors that look like hearing aids.
they block out a lot of the ambient noise and feed the mix directly into your head instead of trying to balance the monitors for everyone on stage. the mix can be balanced individually for each musician's ear monitors too.

I need to start wearing earplugs more at concerts...

I always seem to forget them at home.

I started wearing earplugs a year ago. They work great.

good news brah... They sell them at every venue I've ever been too. Usually 1 dollar.

KridesBrideBritt

Or do what I do, have an earplug case on your keys.

HOODS

I have a huge bag of them I carry around in my backpack.

I've been thinking of buying some professional ear plugs like this



My friend got a pair and says they're awesome.

I've been wearing earplugs since 2009 and it's never gotten in the way of enjoying a concert. You don't even have to shell out a lot of money for them either.

KridesBrideBritt

Slap, they are, but they kinda hurt. I lost my pair after two uses.

WakeOfAshes

I just use the foam ones. they work great.

MenAreTrash

I usually just use foam ones I got for free at shows too, but sometimes find the muffle the sound and usually makes it hard to hear high end stuff. I can get a pair of the fancy ones for like $9 online, so why not try it?

Go ahead, try them. I got mine for free at the Metalblade show. Just don't fall asleep in them.

MenAreTrash

Well yeah I'm not a retard

KridesBrideBritt

Well, I sleep with the foam earplugs every night because I'm a light sleeper. But those bitches hurt.
