Heh loser
serves you right swans fuccboi
>>72841133
How do I avoid this?
I never listen at high volumes but /mu/ made me paranoid.
>>72841133
Wear earplugs when you go to shows or rehearse it ain't difficult.

The drummer in my band is way too fucking loud and complains all the time he has tinnitus, he never uses brushes or makes an attempt to be quieter
>>72841417
Get him a pair of earplugs. Why does this suggestion escape you people?
>>72841417
EARPLUGS
YOU DON'T EVEN NEED TO DELIBERATELY PLAY QUIETER JESUS CHRIST HUMANS HAVE INVENTED WAYS OF DEALING WITH THIS PROBLEM
>>72841439
Nah man I wanna continue being a fucking idiot.
>>72841425
Fuck him, he's way too loud for the rest of the band and we can't concentrate, if he got ear plugs he would hit it even harder since him bursting his eardrums aren't a possibility

Not everyone plays with amplified instruments, the only amped instrument is one E guitar.
>>72841486
Oh that's a different problem altogether and you should sit him down and hash it out.
>>72841473
He sounds like a dipshit but you should all wear ear plugs in general. You get a lot of joy out of music, yeah? Wouldn't want to blow your load too fast and be a sad old deaf guy who really liked to play music but now has a harsh noise album playing in his head non stop.

>I never listen at high volumes
live without fear, friend
>>72841133
Invest in good hearing protection and always wear them at smaller indoor concerts or when you see bands infamous for being loud.

Saw Swans and Sunn O))) in the same month, and Sunn was much louder.
>tfw I spent months working on a tinnitus cancelling earpiece only to find out that tinnitus happens in the brain and you can't correct it with phase cancellation
sorry lads

God save me, I have visual snow too
Pretty shure it's from banging my head a ton when I was young, I'm just crossing my fingers it doesn't get degeneratively worse
tinnitus isn't that bad when you get used to it, you never even notice unless you're in a quiet room or actively think about it. Just be happy you aren't deaf

>>72841336
You'll fit in well here
>went to dinosaur jr show without earplugs
>stood right next to left speakers
>muffled hearing & ringing for 3 days
>occasionally get ringing in my ears since then
although its slowed down significantly, hasn't happened to me in like 3-4 weeks
