These are the mutts nutts in earplugs, expensive they might be, but hey only cut out the bad frequencies. Our drummer uses a pair all the time when playing as his job is remastering and his ears are his trade.
Personally through years of personal hi - fi's, playing in bands, going to unhealthly load gigs during my teens and twenties my hearing is shot.
I now have to endure distorted concerts if the sounds is either too bright or too loud.
I ****** my hearing through listening to about 60,000 drum samples (cutting off the dead air etc)...hence I got tinnitus, sod all to do with loud gigs. Luckily I got my hearing fixed
I don't think that there is a cure for tinnitus or deafness, is there?
Tinnitus can be treated with 'noise re-training'...it's not that widely known, and works against the 'tinnitus can't be treated BS' view of some doctors in the NHS, luckily I saw one of the top audiological surgeons in the UK and was totally ok within 18 months
Tinnitus - not a disease, just the ability to hear sounds generated by the auditory (hearing) system, evidence of compensatory mechanisms that are part of its normal function. The problem is the distress created - not the type of sound.
