How good is your hearing?
I have tinnitus, which i have had since around 2004, after standing too close to the speakers at a Dandy Warhols show and an Interpol show in the same month. Oh and at a SY show that summer.
People tell me that i talk quite loudly, which i have always put down to my hearing.
I now wear ear plugs at every show i go to, it doesn't muffle the sound at all, just cuts out the distortion. Does anyone here do the same?
I am kind of puzzled as to how my friends ( who have attended all the same shows as me) have managed to avoid getting tinnitus. If i don't wear ear plugs at a show, then the ringing turns into buzzing and that white noise TV's make when they are not tuned it, like a Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh sound.
It's kind of sad, i am only 19.
