At 36, I'm starting to take my health more seriously. I am quite concerned about the jubilations regarding the extreme loudness of the last TD concert. Great music does not need to be deafeningly loud. I would like to think that I'll still be able to hear, and not get tinnitus for the rest of my life, if I can go to the next one.... so that I can continue to enjoy quiet to moderately loud music afterwards.

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.
