[QUOTE="tzadik, post: 545317, member: 1415"] Protecting your ears is something that should be taught at early stage of music educations. And it's not. I suffered of tinnitus as well after concert on loud stages... (badly managed both by musicians and stage monitor engineer). And I learned the hard way to use ear plugs and cotton wool (as ear plug). Same when I go to concerts where I know things gonna be loud. July 2024 I was at a concert of Cory Henry and Funk Apostles... tons of sub-bass stuff, octave pedal on bass... that's cool, unless there's harmonic distortion on the PA. And that time was a mess, harmoninc distortion, feedbacks from the stage and clipping. So... I had that hiss in my head for almost 4 months... and the only thing that can relieve that thing were those tinnitus-aid compilations you can find on Spotify/Deezer. You need nice ear phones (possibly with a hear-through function...) and keep running those relieving sounds for 3/4 hours a day. Those sound tracks help your brain to not focus on the hiss... when you stop listening these sound tracks, you'll indeed feel the hiss much reduced, at least temporarily. But keep doing this listening therapy it will get reducing permantently overtime. [/QUOTE]
