    Tinnitus Much Worse Since Loud Music

    I have had mild tinnitus since 2015 - possibly from an MRI. I also have migraines, vertigo, and numbness on my face, which have all been present from time to time for years. I went to a loud and long music installation in late January 2023 - feeling stupid. After the noise exposure I...
