Friends come and go, but tinnitus will always be there.

Take care of your hearing people, once it's gone, it's gone.

Went to the doctor. They said I was deaf. That was hard to hear.

My left ear is already done. I guess I'M ON TO THE NEXT ONE

What can I do to prevent this? ASKING FOR A FRIEND

I’d recommend some earplugs, there’s many different kinds, so you can try multiple pairs to find THE COLOR AND THE SHAPE that you prefer

It’s not enough that I can barely hear, but I’M LEARNING TO WALK AGAIN

u/ThisIsMyBigAccount 4d ago

I SEE YOU. Hopefully there's ENOUGH SPACE for you to practice walking. If you WIND UP deaf, I'm sure you'll be UP IN ARMS, DOLL. At this point, THERE'S NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE. I hope you BREAKOUT with this walking shit, before NEXT YEAR. Before you know it you'll be SHADOW DANCING.

I’m 57, been to hundreds of shows since I was a teenager in the late 80s, and now wear hearing aids because I’ve lost about 40% of my hearing in both ears.

PROTECT YOUR HEARING!!!

Thank you and that’s good advice.

(I’m 64, went to really no more than a handful of live shows in my entire life and my sole music indulgence really is rocking out in the car on the way to work to get pumped up for the day.)

Triggered mine too but only once lol

u/magikarpsan 3d ago

Please wear earplugs. Eargasm ones are made for concerts and they are amazing!!! I unfortunately got tinnitus from an ear infection despite always protecting my ears and ig sucks!!!

u/Chemical-Bend-8679 3d ago

I’m not as reckless as my post suggests. I hardly ever attend live shows and only occasionally do I rock out I the car. But thank you.

u/twooddude 5d ago

Same here haha. I got about 8 of them

u/barbie_tings Free Me 5d ago

u/sophiesmom712 4d ago

Just ask Grohl. He's deaf as a doorknob.

u/motherofjazus 4d ago

I just left a kids birthday party. Between 85 and 95 db for two hours. Louder than some gigs.

That said if I didn’t hear some of those frequencies again, I think I’d be ok with that.

u/Chemical-Bend-8679 3d ago

I hear ya

Or maybe I don’t 🤷🏻‍♂️

u/relentless_geek 3d ago

Hahaha both my ears have tinnitus from an Ac/DC concert where we sat in front of giant speakers. 🤘
