    I hear you, guys, and thanks for the encouragement! The reality is that I've been going to concerts since I was a young kid, and it isn't something that I will likely stop doing anytime soon.

    People with Tinnitus Process Emotions Differently from Their Peers, Researchers Report

    Thanks for the reminder to stop describing it. Part of the challenge for me, as I alluded to above, is that I am not very expressive, emotionally.

    Yes, I still play music, and go to some concerts from time to time. They are quite a bit fewer and far between than before.... I try to stay away from the speakers, usually, so as not to get blasted by the volume, but that recent loud event I was with friends, they had saved the seats, which...

    Hello! I have suffered from what I considered mild to moderate T for years. The result of many 100's of concerts in my 20's and 30's, and my own musical adventures with the electric guitar since my teens. While I found it somewhat bothersome at times, it wasn't invasive. It was always there...
