Hey, kids/young adults who love standing in front of their amps & PA systems during performances:
PLEASE pay attention to the killjoys who tell you to get decent hardwearing earplugs / disposable classic foam plugs while playing.
Because living with tinnitus will start to ruin your life in a big way, and if tinnitus gets beyond tinnitus...well...yeah it's awful.
At the end of the day, you don't wanna be like me with 30% hearing in their left ear in my mid-20s just cuz teen me was ignorant af.
@OsirisSaline so so so much this. I haven't had it checked out, but im 100% positive that my rock n roll high school garageband days trashed my hearing pretty bad. "Huh?" is certainly my most common phrase when talking to people
