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.

Slade Til Deaf Do Us Part tour, many Motörhead gigs, the last being in 2007 which got progressively louder until it was so loud I didn’t recognise Ace Of Spades or Overkill. Countless gigs over 40 years (mostly rock) where my ears still rang days after the show has left me with very mild tinnitus, but luckily my hearing is ok and I can still enjoy music, but loud gigs are a thing of the past!
