Ear plugs! Also, if you don't have them and end up at a show/gig that
is loud, try getting some toilet paper or paper towels from the
bathroom and making dime-sized balls to insert like you would ear
plugs. The wet paper fits your ear quite well and it expands when
drying. I know the toilet paper idea might seem gross to put in your
ears, so roll off a few squares first!

> I'm a musician in various experimental fields (also djing) and got tinnitus from a concert a few years back. it got slightly better, but as a musician, composer and performer you got certain noise levels you just cannot avoid. I am wearing specially configured ear plugs when playing live and going out though. If I'm in a totally noise- and sound-free room (imagine a totally closed toilet or sth.) I can clearly hear a sound - like some far away white noise - in my ears. I just cannot remember how it was before I got tinnitus or whether it's normal to hear at least sth. I mean what's normal hearing anyway? I think that most long time musicians hear some kind of extra noise produced by their ears/brain. I imagine hearing music without this extra must be much more powerful. Sometimes when I am not exposed to music for a week when I am back playing and listening the sounds are much more intense. just like after a diet or sth.
