Triple bill in 1979 or so: Pat Travers / Scorpions / Sammy Hagar; I was in first few rows and the cabinets were all sitting on the stage (not flown from ceiling)--ouch! Plus Rush Hemispheres around that time as well (fantastic concert). I do have tinnitus, though not at a level that it bothers me much of the time. It does bother me some of the time. I cannot tell if it is getting worse or not. I suspect that mine is more due to car audio poor judgement (and not only when I was young(!)).
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.
