Listening to music with loud feedback as a tinnitus sufferer


I discovered the Jesus and Mary Chain in 1985 when they were the big new thing. Fabulous stuff. A strong sense of melody, bathed in feedback, it sounded new and fresh. Nostalgic and original at the same time.

Nearly 40 years later, and my tinnitus is playing up today. A constant sine wave inside my skull. Some music makes it less bothersome. Dark Ambient drones especially. But today I’m finding Jesus and Mary Chain insufferable. The feedback just mixes with the ringing inside my head and sounds like a noise https://19216801.onl/ . 

Any other tinnitus sufferers feel the same way? Aging is a privilege denied to many, and I try to bear the aches and pains with good grace. But when they come between me and my music, it’s so frustrating.
