The Mick Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 I've done plenty of damage over the years. Every now and again I would get some ear plugs but I just couldn't ware them through a set. Kinda feel off balance. Now that I'm not playing out anymore I'm amazed at how loud my amp is. It just never seemed that bad to me. I cranked it up for the first time in about a year a few months ago and DAMN!!! I really notice the loud ringing (and even pain now) at night trying to fall asleep. Thats just one more physical problem I have to deal with due to my own actions. To the young guy's out there PROTECT YOUR EARS!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AXE® Posted April 7, 2009 Author Share Posted April 7, 2009 That's what I'm talking about, trying to sleep and the ringing is almost deafening (if that makes sense). Even in a live setting I (we) don't have a real loud stage sound, just enough to cover the drums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mick Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 I was in constant arguments with sound guys about our volume. Sad thing is we turned down at shows compared to our rehearsal Volume. I will proudly claim UNLOADER as the loudest band in Denver. EDIT that is as long as the ROK TOT's weren't together at any given time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AXE® Posted April 7, 2009 Author Share Posted April 7, 2009 Oh fuxking rehearsals were always too loud due to the limited headroom. I'd walk out of there winding my *** and scratching my watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveinspain Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 I have it bad... Constant ringing for the past several years.... It never goes away but I have learned to live with it and It doesn't keep me awake at night. So at least I can sleep well. At my work I wear ear plugs but I am constantly exposed to high volume pounding dance music every weekend. It seems to be getting worse but I don't know what else to do...

Cruznolfart Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 About 20 years ago I was sitting in my house one morning and thought I heard an engine or piece of equipment running off in the distance. I still hear it. But it doesn't disturb my sleep. If someone is wadding up or just rustling paper, the noise it makes renders me effectively deaf to anything else. I don't know what that's about but it's not usually a problem as we don't wad up much paper very often. Riding the scoot will provoke bouts of ringing unless I plug up before going out, which I rarely do. I seldom play guitar at high enough volume any more to cause any ear problems but, let's face it, at 60 the damage is done, whatever it is. I'm probably lucky I can hear anything OTHER than that damned engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluemoon Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 My hearing is pretty much shot...two causes. When I went to concerts while living in Europe in the late 70s and early 80s (Saxon, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, ACDC, Sabbath, etc.) there were no assigned seats. Anyone could go into the pit. It was a free-for-all. I was pretty young so I would get pushed to the sides--right next to the stack of Marshalls. I couldn't hear after the concert and my ears would ring for days. Nobody knew any better. The other cause was from cranking my Walkman to it highest volume as a kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
