Hi!
Has anyone of you ever suffered from tinnitus? If yes, what's your
strategy to conquer it?
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. Unfortunately I started
goin to gigs when I was very young and back then I was quite
careless, no earplugs, standin in the front rows etc.
thanks and kind regards,
christoph
Hi Christoph
From headaches I learned, that focusing on the pain and meditating
on the origin of the pain, can make it go away. Learn that and do
it every time your emotion tells you to do it. This is a very old
technique and helps for many kinds of pains.
This sound is from you, I think one has to confirm it to make it go
away. So dont try to fight it make it your friend.
BTW many people can hear their blod flowing, could be that sound of
white noise you're hearing.
good health
mvh/Stef
