LOUDEST Concert and Tinnitus

This is a two part question.

1. What is the loudest concert (or event) that you have attended?

2. How long have you had tinnitus, is it getting better or worse and how are you dealing with it?

Personally, the loudest concert was UB40 at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre in Vancouver. Loudest event was drag racing at SIR (Seattle International Raceway) which was like sticking your head in a jet engine.

Regarding tinnitus. Over the past year or so I have noticed a constant high pitched "sound" in my ears. Mostly the left ear. At this point I don't actually know if it is constant or whether I just forget about it sometimes. I know use a white noise box when I go to sleep. Otherwise I tend to fixate on the ringing.

1971 Steve Miller Band Milwaukee

1990's ish Robert Palmer this was the killer. We were there with another couple, and no one had the sense to walk out, including me. At the Orpheum in Minneapolis when Dylan owned the theater. Not his fault.

2005ish drive-By Truckers in St Paul. I had the sense to walk out of this one. Arena's are mostly terrible for sound.

Had a terrible onslaught of tinnitus in 2007-8. Learned I had hearing loss and started wearing hearing aids. I used an expensive treatment repped by my audiologist. Whether it helped or my symptoms lessoned over time, not sure. But I listened to the program every night for years and it gave me a sense of being in control.

 

 

I can always tell when I sit down to listen to music and have forgotten to put them in. It's a volume issue, but mostly a quality of sound benefit for me.
