I have tinnitus. I don't recommend it


i went to a show in november of last year (it’s may right now) and ever since, i have tinnitus. i don’t recommend it.

i’ve been weirdly lucky in that - in addition to the tinnitus - it now physically hurts when there’s a loud sound. loud sounds didn’t use to hurt - so now, i am one of those people that plucks their ears when an emergency vehicle goes by with the siren blaring. and absolutely don’t fuck around with lasers, especially the stupid green ones that people wave around.
