| 396546 | 2005-10-15 09:15:00 | If it doesn't there is absolutely nothing that can be done about it but see a doctor anyway. I know because I have lived with varying degrees of tinnitus for virtually my entire life. It is not nice. I agree 100% - there is nothing the doctor can do for you. As my doctor told me "when asked if you have tinnitus on an insurance form, just tick 'no' - you're the only person that can hear it". A |

| 396547 | 2005-10-15 09:15:00 | gar..better give it some rest then..and watch out in the future so..should i keep wearing the ear plug to give my left ear more rest untill the ringing gets quiet and..um..what exactly can the doctor do to help?? the wiki make it seem a bit non-instant-cureable Good luck. I have very very mild tinnitus, I notice it far more when there is very little background noise. The sound I hear from it has never lessened. Some sufferers have trouble sleeping because of it. It would appear that I have been lucky. |

Sunburn is also a self-inflicted injury but I'm not sure it is punishable by court martial.... As for "shooting oneself in the foot" - I thought was one way of getting an early trip back to Blighty, but I could be wrong. Might be one for robsonde (http://www.theanswerguy.co.nz/) A |

| 396549 | 2005-10-15 09:35:00 | Dont worry the ringing will go away, but probably so will a little bit of your hearing :( Lesson 1 = Earplugs are good, as musos and many sound people are egomaniacs. I can't stand them myself, bunch of pretentious................. Lesson 2: Directly in front of the PA = not a good place to stand. Lesson 3: Small PA = screaming PA = lots of high frequency damage to anyone who stands in front of it. 1.5 metres of PA is not big. The subs alone, if there were any should be about that hieght. As 1.5 metres is close to human height, the horns, or high frequency drivers are at ear hight. :groan: Bad bad bad bad bad. Your selfish self deafening was stopping the people behind you from getting clear sound. Seriously though, the person setting that lot up should be shot if the entire stack stopped at 1.5 metres from the floor. Horns at 2.5 metres or more are good if its a stack, (as opposed to a flown rig) as that avoids deafening the front row, and lets the sound be clearer at the back. I always put my subs at the bottom for the first 2 metres, as those frequencys (125 hz or less) tend to be even in the room and not super strong even right by the source. Anything higher than 125hz i put above head hight for relatively even dispersion, and avoidence of ear damage to the people in front of the PA. |

You should not use Google, or the internet to attempt to self diagnose any medical condition. Go and see a doctor or an audiologist. They will be able to accurately assess and advise you based on facts. Not a bunch of poorly informed people on the internet that only have half the story. |

As 1 . 5 metres is close to human height, the horns, or high frequency drivers are at ear hight . :groan: That's probably how I got my tinitus - way back primary school days - I used to always stand beside the speakers & the tiny PA they used put the horns exactly at head height for a little kid . That, and the clubs that are set up properly, but are way too loud . I've had tinitus for as long as I can remember, but it has got worse over the years . |

As a Tinnitus sufferer for many years I sincerely hope that the noise is temporary and being young there is every chance that you will be rid of it within a few days. Good Luck. |

Jeeze, I never noticed that this wasn't a medical forum ninja, how silly of me. Google was recommended for information, not self diagnosis, and in this instance the cause and effect relationship is clear. As a severe tinnitus sufferer myself, I know enough about it (from consultation with experts, not half-baked medical students) to know that if it is caused by excessive noise exposure, the damage is permanent and the effect untreatable. Correct so far? Why didn't you make your incredibly valuable contribution earlier and give us the benefit of your wisdom, rather than coming in late in the piece to crap all over those who offer comment and personal opinion? You just can't leave my posts alone can you. I still think you must be in love with me, so sad for you that it isn't reciprocated, I'm not into silly little boys. Cheers Billy 8-{) :p |
