Hello there,
I often wonder about something. Basically it comes down this. I got T in june, 2015 from standing to close to speakers at a dub-reggae party. The people who have experienced these kind of parties know how loud those sessions can get. I had a few too many drinks and forgot to put in my earplugs for like 20 minutes. I actually had them with me, but after sitting at at a bar outside the venue where the music was happening, I forgot to put them back in when I got back in the venue. The next day I noticed a static noise that has not dissapeared since. Luckily the volume became lower or I habitated to it. Hard to tell the difference.
Anways, the months after developing T I blamed myself immensely for this stupidity. I actually knew about T and always warned people about loud noise and standing to close to speakers. Ironicially, I ended up with Tinnitus and the others are completely fine. I can handle the feelings of guilt better now but they still gnaw at me from time to time.
Something that I always wonder about is this: Was T gonna happen to me eventually due to genetics for example while aging or another noise exposure or is it possible that I would be T-free for the rest of my life if I had watched my hearing all the time? In other words, was T unavoidible for me or could it have been avoided if I hadn't done this stupid and irresponsible thing?
I know that no one can give a definitive answer, but I was wondering how other people think about this subject.
Good day!
PS: This is an example of how loud these things are. The sounds is really distorted because the bass is so loud that it's impossible to record correctly. In the venue itself it actually sounds really great. Turn your speakers way down!!
