I have been playing drums since I was 17 years of age. I had a band back in the mid 60's called The Count Victors. We recorded with Coral Records but didn't play loud rock like some bands.
I still play today, with a Jam Band at a local Legion, and I play congas with The Sentimental Journey Big Band here in Calgary.
I am unsure when my Tinnitus really started, and it is not very loud like some I have heard about, but it is continuous. I don't believe it is louder or softer at any particular times or with what I am doing. I don't believe it is having much of a negative effect on the way I live or play, but it is just always there. Sometimes it seems louder on my right side and sometimes not and I don't know when or why it starts to be off centre. I have great sympathy for those that hear it extremely loud. It must make their lives very difficult.
