      Many, many musicians have tinnitus: Ozzy, Chris Martin (Coldplay), Will.I.Am, and the list goes on and on and on. Similarly, there is likely a huge list of musicians who have tinnitus that have not gone public with it.

      Speaking of Phil Collins, he suffered a fall recently and is in the hospital. Hope he recovers quickly.

      No doubt it came out of a good intention, but I personally feel the cartoon is a bit maladroit in the sense that it turns T, a serious condition, into something to make fun of.
      When you know it recently pushed another drummer to commit suicide, the fun part of it is a bit lost on me.
      Sorry.

      If anyone happens to be friends with a musician suffering from the big T, I'd be interested in having them review my product. I designed a mini amp called Booster with a 6dB bump centered at 1500 Hz to lift dialogue and help increase intelligibility. The ORBs themselves are VERY accurate and detailed from 200-16K and as a system they are really changing people's lives.
