Rory Gallagher in '78. My hearing was crap for a week. I worked in the music distribution business and would get comped show tickets all the time. But I learned early on right after Rory to just stuff some tissue in my ears. I ended up with a mild case of tinnitus after standing and watching a pile driving machine pound in a huge support. I was about 50 feet away. Stood there 10 minutes. It comes and goes but the day after, I thought something was way wrong. It's barely even noticeable most days.
LOUDEST Concert and Tinnitus
This is a two part question.
1. What is the loudest concert (or event) that you have attended?
2. How long have you had tinnitus, is it getting better or worse and how are you dealing with it?
Personally, the loudest concert was UB40 at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre in Vancouver. Loudest event was drag racing at SIR (Seattle International Raceway) which was like sticking your head in a jet engine.
Regarding tinnitus. Over the past year or so I have noticed a constant high pitched "sound" in my ears. Mostly the left ear. At this point I don't actually know if it is constant or whether I just forget about it sometimes. I know use a white noise box when I go to sleep. Otherwise I tend to fixate on the ringing.
