Hearing loss

<< < (6/6)

The Hammered:
I almost never use headphones, but I'll keep those suggestions in mind if I start.

NONONO Don't pick up earphones that sit inside your ear like that. They don't allow air to leave or enter the ear while you're listening to stuff, so the vibrations just end up pommeling your eardrums.

Which can't be any worse than having to crank the volume full blast to drown out traffic noise with regular headphones. At least with the earbuds you can turn the music down and still hear everything clearly.

Jenno:
After being diagnosed with mild tinnitus earlier this year, I was basically told to always use ear protection when exposed to loud music (clubs, gigs, etc.) and to avoid using headphones in situations that are already loud, such as on a train. I would assume this advice holds pretty similar for most hearing issues for younger people.

Oh also, concert plugs are definitely recommended over normal ones, there is a huge difference in quality.

Possibly not, but you shouldn't be turning it up that loud in your ear anyway.

Sucks. Sorry, dude.

I don't know this 'Mogwai' that you speak of. However, I tested the earplug thingy at a Cradle Of Filth show and a Metallica show and it helped loads.
