i'm gonna get my hearing tested next week. not all that excited bout it cause i feel like i've been careless/stupid and suffered some damage over the years.

anybody feel like their hearing aint what it used to be or ever gotten tested? totally scared to find out what's up, but it'll most likely be a wake up call for me to start protecting myself. anyway, wish me luck.

Best of luck mate, hope it all goes ok. Think this is why I generally prefer outdoor parties - the sounds got more space to disburse and you can wander off and chill out away from the rigs if you want.

I played at the Concorde over here and had to ask the soundman to turn down the monitor - the guy who went on before me must have been fucking deaf if he needed it that loud.

Once you get the all clear, invest in some earplugs and thank your lucky stars.

Had my ears tested this summer, luckily no damage !
Bought some customized earplugs (around €100)...

It's rather expensive but I guess, it's worth it, how much would you be willing to pay if you're def to hear your beloved music ?!?

Hope the results turn out allright for you too mate!

Good luck mate.

It is always difficult to gauge a gradual decline.

I always used to find that my hearing would be fucked for about 24 hrs after clubbing/raves but would be ok afterwards.

My wife thinks I'm deaf!!

like i said mine is checked every year and there is no noticeble decline.


just your normally aging process

i've been wearing mine in every club/loud situation for about 4 years now. Never have that high-pitched wine outside the club/lying in bed.

I dare anyone to wear earplugs for a whole nite, then take them out when you're stood on the dancefloor - you won't be able to get them back in your lugs quick enough, trust me.

Sorry a bit off topic but something I feel really strongly about - if you value your hearing get some plugs.

but you right tho its all about the plugs!

(though wet tissue in the ear also works to certain extent lol)

isit? fuck me man, nowadays if I stand next to a speaker and take a plug out, it feels like I'm stabbing myself in the ear with a knife, actual physical pain.
