Hearing damage is part of the concert experience though. If you don't leave with mild tinnitus did you really even go?
What? Can you try typing that again in all caps? I went to a text concert last night.
Yes.
This is a dumb mindset that needs to be changed.
After 20 years of concerts wearing my studio plugs I can still hear.
My friends who thought it was dumb are now deaf as fuck and frankly their hearing loss is an annoying self inflicted wound.
Wear hearing protection ya dingus, every time.
Actually I'm also the weird friend that uses hearing protection lol all my friends tell me that. I still have tinnitus and plenty of hearing damage from not doing that when I was younger though
Me too, but it's better late than never
I get that people think that but it's a stupid take really. Hearing loss is a big contributor to senility.
A friend of mine told me he went to a concert that was “so loud it physically hurt his ears.” He thought I was looking at him like he had two heads because that was such a strange experience until I told him that voices at normal conversational volume often “physically hurts my ears.”
He never knew why I was always asking him to lower his voice, he thought it was just a weird thing I did.
