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.

Everyone has tinnitus, to some degree. What I find more fascinating, is when you hear a high-frequency tone, sound in your ears for a minute or two ; it's the last time you'll hear that frequency again.
