Members edremy Posted April 18, 2013 Members Share Posted April 18, 2013 Occasional very loud noises like rock concerts may not damage hearing - the short term hearing loss afterwards is actually your ear trying to prevent damage. Long term exposure is still bad though so keep the earplugs in if you enjoy practicing with that Marshall stack. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/04/130415172300.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We probably all qualify as what they call "chronic exposure"....lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kayd_mon Posted April 18, 2013 Members Share Posted April 18, 2013 Lol absolutely. I bet if we polled everyone, at least half of us have tinnitus. My hearing is still 100%, according to a hearing test, but I have tinnitus (although I got mine from blunt force, not loud noise). I almost always wear plugs at shows, and I'll also use them for performance whenever possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members J Backlund Posted April 18, 2013 Members Share Posted April 18, 2013 My tinnitus is from riding motorcycles, not music. Full-face helmet and almost always stock mufflers, but the wind roar is still horrific and damaging in the long run. I didn't wear ear plugs nearly enough.
