http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tinnitus

check that out. if cts scares us, then we might as well add this to the list.

paul gilbert reportedly suffers from tinnitus and wears those headphones to prevent it from worsening. guess its time to invest in earplugs at least...specially when dealing with really noisy set-ups.  smiley

Does that mean deafness or something? Cause I knida lost some volume on my left ear which was always nearest to the amp... Altho I had a bad cold that time... The amp was never too loud.

to an extent. tinnitus is a symptom of injury to the mechanism that translates sound into electrical impulses for your brain to process. tinnitus is often associated with constant ringing that doesnt stop and the intensity varies. however, periodic ringing in your ears are normal.

tinnitus cannot be cured and the damage is irreversible. go to your local otolaryngologist (ear and throat doctor) or audiologist/ speech therapist to learn more about caring for your ears.

My doctor said it was because of my allergy + aircon addiction because of this frustrating temperature and humidity. But it was accidentally the time when I was playing close to my big sound amp.

Rommel  dela Cruz (barbie's cradle bassist) has tinnitus... postive side is that he says the ringing tone in his left ear is in F# so may instant tuner na agad siya grin

Rico Blanco, Noel Cabangon, Buddy Zabala, and even Raymund Marasigan supposedly all suffer from hearing loss in at least one ear.

Ako, when I watch a band, earplugs parati.  When I play, I cant stand earplugs!!! cheesy

He also uses them as monitors. At least dun manageable yung volume as compared to the actual stage volume.

i guess its ok to be loud if you're paul gilbert.. it depends naman kung ano ung setting ng gig. kung nasa arena or large venue ka, y not? cguro pag small setting lang di naman cya ganun kalakas.

talagang nakaka takot!! in a worst case scenario pag may tinnitus ka mahihirapan ka matulog kasi may constant ring yung tenga mo.. (obserbahn nyo right before going to sleep or right after u know what with the mrs Smiley yung tahimik na ang paligid  kng may naririnig ka na ring most prob may tinnitus ka.) if u still expose ur self sa loud volumes lalong lumalakas yung ring! (nagpa check up  kasi ako a month ago yan yung sabi ng doctor! ) si vai every month ata nag papacheck.

Dude, if you have time and resources, have it checked, lalo na't bata ka pa. I haven't checked with my doctor but I'm sure as hell that I've lost some hearing due to gigig. now I try to play with earplugs all the time. But then again, I forget to put them most of the time.

shet, meron na ata ako, after gigs/practice di tumitigil yung ringing until a few hours after.

pag nakaearplugs naman ako nagiiba yung tone na naririnig ko feeling ko ngongo tunog ng gitara ko.

ano ba mas maganda earplugs or yung mukhang headphones na parang pang mamamaril (shooting)?
