@Bill Bauer What are your thoughts ....
Yep absolutely! I’m happy you had a great time more than anything!
Can I get a list of those people too when you get a chance.?
Off you go, present them to me. Legitimate individual examples please. Nice! If I was in your position I'd go, but that's just me. You'll decide...
I'll be crucified for this again I'm sure but I don't take any breaks. Once you're not standing near the stage I think you'll be ok. I've hit 11...
Jesus this place is desperate. What an outlook. Now that's more like it. Having children makes it a million times easier. I actually found...
None of us do, but that statement applies for everything in life. This is it, not attending or playing is the end of the world for me. You know,...
Ok let’s back the truck up. The op has somatic Tinnitus. I believe in their specific case risk of worsening their condition through acoustic...
“You will be met with big backlash is all because off all the data available that says that loud sound..” Another grammatical error there chump....

How old? Why do so many boomers have tinnitus? I’m almost 40, a lot of people have it because the education simply wasn’t there. 20 years ago...
Look mate I didn’t come on to have a go or get personal with anyone but you pissed me off calling intellect into question. I never dismissed...
Doubt it.
And you say I’m simple? When did I ever say it’s the same for everyone? Big assumption there. Too dense to understand??? What are you 12? With...
I do wonder why I bother. This site was a great help to me at one stage is probably the main reason, people always complained that there wasn’t...
@Bill Bauer The drinking and driving analogy is preposterous. Bill, you don’t have the experience I do. I’m qualified to give a reasonable...
@Lane No, it’s negativity. Most of you don’t go to concerts or play in bands yet you see fit to tell others like the original poster not to go and...
Give it time? I’ve tinnitus for 13 years. More than a lot of you here. Survived, still alive, still enjoying music, enjoying life.
@Suzerman Please go to the show, enjoy it. Foam earplugs work great. You’ll get nothing but negativity here from people that don’t go to concerts....
@Fifth Business Not Malthusian but they were on the bill with us at the show I was talking about. Awesome band.
Foam ones would be fine. I’m playing in a Death Metal band at the minute, two weeks ago I got to a venue and realised I’d forgotten my custom...
Read any of my posts on concerts, I still go very regularly.
Nice to see some sensible advice from @Ed209, that’s all spot on.
Another helpful concert thread. Well done to all.
@erik Surely you’ll agree a lot of the initial advice isn’t helpful either. Scaring people into not having a social life. So yeah, I say ignore...
“Any justification for your advice above?” “Or are you just hoping to use your Mind to Will your view of the world (that everything is safe and...
Best precaution? Not to read the advice here.

Lol @Bill Bauer comparing a gig to doing Heroin And I’m only noticing Pete has Tinnitus three weeks, yet sees fit to lecture.
None of what I said is true? You’re not a musician but are telling me we turn up loud on stage? You don’t do to concerts yet you’re telling me...
Why would you risk it getting worse though for a few hours at a concert? I have gone to concerts years ago - I had the ringing but it went away....
"You're a weird one though. By choosing to not tempt fate by avoiding loud events, my advice is worthless? I can accept your view point, despite...
Yes @Gman I’m petty yet you’re the one resorting to childish name calling. It’s not a mines longer than yours thing either. Tells me what way...
Yeah - SUPPORT forum. How is advising everyone to stay locked up in their bedroom avoiding any type of noise supportive? Makes things seem even...
“Your T hasn't faded in all of those years. That might be because you Don't know what you are talking about when it comes to concerts.” My...
@Gman What a deeply ignorant statement “Yet you’re on a tinnitus support forum. If you were ok with it, you wouldn’t be here. Trying to stop...
Go, doubt you’ll need plugs but take a pair.
@freelance This is the worst place to come to if you’re looking for advice on going to concerts. I’m a musician, and I go to a lot of shows. As...
Lads, no way a sneeze can cause damage. Unless it was an elephant maybe.
Classic scaremongering. I’d go mate, I go to gigs all the time. Wear earplugs, don’t stand next to speakers and you’ll be fine. Enjoy!!! Read...
Me too, noise induced but hearing is still ok.
I had a filling done just last week, not a problem. Get an understanding dentist and all will be fine.
Dude, relax. Dentist will be fine, make them aware and most will understand. I’ve been for regular cleans, fillings and have had a wisdom tooth...
Ear muffs when the child is noisy? Come on guys, absolute overkill. Im a father of two, kids noisy yes. Impact on tinnitus = 0
Go and enjoy. Just be sure to wear earplugs. A bar with loud chat I find is ok, I usually don’t wear earplugs in that instance, the minute any...
@Widex HIIT is high intensity interval training. Great if you can’t get out to run, it can be done at home with no equipment. I found the...
@Widex I've Tinnitus 12 years. Yes, it's possible for it to go back to baseline. But don't count on it. Second Habituation is more likely. I...
I have had it for 12 years. First 8 were no problem but I had an increase in 2014 that I can’t explain, have since habituated. Just to put it...
Flying is grand lads, I’ve sat in all sections. Take off will be a little loud but once you’re airborne it’s grand.
@Niklas i never get a spike Ps Phil Collins is touring again he played a 50000 stadium here over the summer. To be very clear, it is personal...
I’m just going to add, I think it’s hilarious that the individuals advising people not to go to gigs don’t go themselves. If you want some facts...
I disagree mr negative. The damage was done, nothing I could do to reverse it. There’s tonnes of positive stories, you’re not going to find them...
Most people here are talking shit. I have tinnitus 11 years. I hit concerts frequently, rehearse, play gigs. No change to my tinnitus (obviously...
You’ll be ok mate. But that’s a warning sign, be sure to protect your ears going forward. Don’t quit the band, there’s plenty of musicians here...
About a year. I found once I resumed doing the things I loved (With precaution as much as possible) I stopped obsessing about it. This is a...
Sure, that's one way of looking at it @Bill Bauer and for a while I stopped all that kind of activity. But I was depressed. There's so many...
I always post in this type of topic. I’ve had tinnitus for 11 years, I’m 37. I still perform in a band, and I still regularly attend concerts,...
