I've seen Animal Collective live, and I suffered permanent hearing loss from that show!
The world's worst is when you find yourself going like Mother Hubbard and cupping your hand behind your ear. I was a major glutton for volume: 'Gotta feel it, gotta hear it.' Sooner or later you're going to pay the reaper.
He that has ears to hear, let him stuff them with cotton.
I've had tinnitus for about 10 years, but since I started protecting my ears it hasn't got any worse. Looking after your ears is unfortunately something you don't think about until there's a problem. I wish I'd thought about it earlier.
I've had tinnitus for about ten years, and since I started protecting my ears it hasn't got any worse - touch wood.
Its rock n' roll that has done my hearing in.
When I work out, I wear two in-the-ear hearing aids for comfort, and then I wear the behind-the-ears for my day-to-day non-physical activities, when I need maximum hearing and to communicate with people and do interviews!
I carry earplugs and use them even when it's quiet.
