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.

is yr tinitus a ringing? cuz if it is props to you for not even mentioning how suicidal that ringing can make you, it is not just being "deaf" it is much much worse, I had the worst tinnitus from 2003-2005 because I refused to play my guitar under the volume of way to fucking loud, and I was learing a lot of new things so I would spend four hours at a time doing this, until one day,, rinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnggggggggggggggggggggggggggg
perpetually, every second of every second of every second, tick tock tick tock, ringggggggggggggggg, tick tock tick tock, rinnggggggggggggggggggg
I honestly dont know how mine went away, but it has been replaced with a solid sound of "deafness" in my left hear where it now feels like there is always a little water in there, but it was a miraculous trade of for the ringing. just thinking about it gives me the worst anxiety. I hope it works out better for you!
of course, the hearing that I do have is fucking perfect, triangular like a bat, that is why I can't stand surround sound in peoples living rooms cuz they never never know how to set it up right and I can hear it like the sound board guy. I can also hear a little dog bark from three blocks away with crystal clear precision can point out its absolute direction with little difficulty. I can also hear even the most faint whisper, so it is impossible to keep secrets within 300 ft of me.
