Kerrang! Magazine: "Worth the tinnitus."

@Markku
Maybe few suicide stories would make them rethink if it's wort it!

 

It's weird how some medical conditions are seen as inherently comedic. Tinnitus is one. Gout is another (apparently it is *amazingly* debilitating and painful). I guess we can't blame people who don't have these things for thinking they're funny ... For a lot of people, tinnitus is something aged crotchety grannies go on about in comics while holding massive trumpet-shaped hearing aids to their ears.

 

There's a dance club in Germany called Tinnitus. Yeah.

 

Wonder if the many rock stars who have/had tinnitus (Lemmy of Moorhead RIP comes to mind) would agree?

 

It's probably out of ignorance though: I suspect they think that tinnitus is the ringing you'll get for a day after the concert, and so their message is "oh yeah, it's so worth having to deal with ringing for a day". I doubt they know it can stick forever and be disabling.
