Tinitus

Tinitus

Any1 got it? Know anythin to make it better?

erm, what is it?

the blondeness strikes again!

its basically "ringing of the ears" but it doesnt go away like normal, its there all the time...

i think its something to do with a constant ringing in the ear? no idea how to help though.. contact a doctor?

there aint no cure....just wonderin what others do about it, it aint so bad when its just normal.....just try and ignore it, but after promise and stuff it goes loud as fcuk! and gets quit annoying, takes a few days b4 quieting down again!

Real tinitus never goes away - Anne Savage has got it in her right ear (maybe I shouldn't know that much information about it lol). Loads of DJ's get it cause they're head phones have got to be so loud. I used to get it when I first started going out but I never get it anymore.

Best thing to do is get some ear plugs - probably sounds stupid cause u want to listen to the music but u can get ones that let in certain frequencys and block out the noise if that makes any sense.



U can get some decent ones from Richer Sounds

Yeah i get it...A while ago the doctor told me to wear ear plugs if iam going into rooms that are loud..but i didnt take any notice.And after a night in promise my ears are so fucked up that its hard to hear owt..but it goes after a day.

I should of listened to the Dr.So fuck

Alternatively, get some standard yellow foam ones, cut them to size with a pair of scissors, and there you have it, two eaplugs which can remain hidden, fillter out the high frequency sounds which aggrivates tinitus, and still hear peeps/music so you have a mint night.

I wear ear plugs anytime I go clubbing - no-one noticed even when i was talking to them.. in fact iot was easier to hear them above the music.

Tinnitus is gonna be the most common affliction for our generation in years to come, there's no cure for it so once you've got it, you've got it for good - which can cause all sorts of psycological problems

I remember a weekend a while back when the ringing just wouldn't stop and thought it was there for good. Was shit scared and thought I was gonna go mental.

As Rob said, the best way to reduce the risk is invest in some high quality ear plugs. Alternatively, when you're out try and avoid sticking your head right next to the speakers all night long (or the annoying fuck with the samba whistle). It's the high pitched stuff that makes the mess. Obvious really, but when you're tanked up logic can go oot the window.

A recent experiment also showed that if you go and chill out somewhere relatively quiet for 15-20 mins over the course of the night - preferably somewhere where there's no music playing at all - you can drastically reduce the risk of adverse hearing probs.

Most of the DJ's who've played on the circuit for the past ten years or so have it in some form and it's almost become some kind of rights of passage thing - like you must be a serious dj if you've managed to develop it, but talk to any of them and they tell you how frustrating it is.

Rave safe kiddies

there sum doc in the good old us of a that can kinda give patients relief from the tinny stuff.... u listen 2 sounds for so many hrs a week 2 relief the symptoms.. but thats all i know..

Try yellow foam plugs like you get on airplane.
still looks good if you are going to be a cyber kid

sorry, what did you say, i didnt hear you

thanx 4 the advice kidda's, ive been looking into it as well....the most popular thing is these herb drug things that are supposed to help it, they are a stupid price and will probly make no difference anyway! i seen a thing about them putting a metal vvibrating stick on the back of your ear which is tuned to make the same sound as what you are hearing, but isnt a total cure, only lasts for a few hours....so hopefully it wont be to long into the future untill they have a cure.....but it would be nice if they could hurry up.....

Damn!! every time i leave promise my ears are ringing until the next morning....

at this rate i wont be able to hear the music within a coupla of years...

maybe ear defenders aint such a bad idea...

:groovy:

done that a few times!!!

Suppose it has it's ups and downs then

:groovy:
