Chris Stapleton, Great Woods, Xfinity Center. I had bought great seats as soon as the event was announced. Covid came and the concert was delayed to 2 years. In years before I had learned about and bought special "musicians ear plugs". I had them years earlier at the Nissan Center in Nashville, and due to bad acoustics in my seating area, they saved my ears. In the years between concerts I forgot to bring them. The lead female in the first warm band was awful and literally Painful to my ears. I debated trying to get away, but decided by the time I reached a safer distance, she would hopefully be done. A few months later the ringing started.
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.
