yea man, just be cautious. Wouldn't want another one our "metal compadres" struck down with this shit. What you guys were experiencing was just temporary ringing/whistling/buzzing etc, which isn't really tinnitus. A spike happens when the tinnitus you already has spikes up higher than where its usually at. But as you said, it can lead to it. It might have something to do with damaging/destroying the cilia in your ears, and from what i've read they don't grow back/regenerate.Yea, this is how tinnitus starts. The other day I had a spike last for almost an hour for the first time ever, and it is sort of worrisome because it means that it is only going to get worse from here if I keep exposing myself to loud noises and ill start saying shit like the guys on here who have a true affliction.

i havent been to concert in a while and being struck down with T made me almost never even consider it again. A few really good shows i wanted to go to earlier this year, especially Strikefest, but my t made me reconsider.Oh yea, I definitely dont have chronic tinnitus. You are probably right about it not being tinnitus, but I have experienced it after loud concerts and listening sessions for the next day or two and it would definitely suck if it became a full-time thing. Im more cautious about my hearing now and take it seriously. I treat those brief ringing episodes like a doctor would someone who is pre-hypertensive.
And yes, the cilia in your ears work as resonators that are connected to nerve receptors in your brain, and is how you perceive sound (highly simplified ofc). Loud noise can damage them structurally and lead to cell death. They dont grow back, so the damage over time is cumulative. I realize that not all tinnitus is related to noise exposure, so im not jumping to conclusions by saying this is what happened to you. I have a medical background but im no doctor.
Do you go to concerts anymore, or is it just too much for your ears?
I need to rant about shitty behaviour. I’m absolutely sick of kids answering back and or denying they’ve done anything wrong. It’s infuriating. It’s like they don’t have the capability to accept responsibility for absolutely anything. I catch them red handed doing something wrong and they’ll swear until they are blue in their face they never did it. You were doing wrong, you got caught, accept the fucking consequences for god’s sake and move on. I swear behaviour gets worse each year! The blame culture that permeates the youth of the UK is a huge part of the problem imo. Also, parents don’t help. When they will literally defend their kids and complain when they are punished for wrong doing.
I have a class that are sitting their final exam in June so you’d think they’d be trying the best they can to achieve a half decent grade. But no, they’d rather be chatting incessantly about their social life. They proper pissed me off today and ended up losing half their lunch time.
I bet you would've been beaten with a ruler everyday if we go back another 30 or so years, lol. Dont get me wrong, i was a bad kid and i remember getting hit with a ruler by one of those cunts when i was 4 or 5. I'd strangle that old hag if i saw her now, lol.i think i would've had a lot of fun fucking with phylactery when i was 12 tbh

I’ve had bad tinnitus for 16 years and still I go to gigs all the time and currently play in a band. I literally cannot be in a room with amplified music without earplugs in though or I run screaming. I’ve tried musicians earplugs but they don’t block out enough sound for me so I just stick to good old industrial foam earplugs. I’ve gotten used to the sound through the plugs and it sounds pretty normal to me now. I went through a period where my ears were ridiculously sensitive to high frequencies but it’s not as bad these days. It fucking sucks to have damaged hearing but I do my best not to let it get on top of me.Oh yea, I definitely dont have chronic tinnitus.

Starts in year 9 generally which is when they are 13-14. Raging hormones, especially among the girls. Some of them suddenly turn into horrible bitches, seemingly over night.
I can deal with the “macho boys” that think they are all that. But arrogant, entitled bitchy girls are the fucking worst.
It does also heavily depend on the ability you are teaching. Top set of any year group? Probably not going to have any issues at all. Honestly the middle sets are the ones I find the worst. They’re too lazy and lack good behaviour to be in a higher set, but they’re really arrogant for whatever reason. Probably because they are actually quite bright, but they’ll rarely achieve anything with it because their attitude and work ethic sucks.

I'm curious, why is it that cilia in your lungs(i think) grow back but the ones in your inner ear dont? My T definitely wasn't from noise exposure though, which is why i'm hoping it goes back down, but it's day 4 and it hasnt budged. I'm so mad at myself for walking into that place. I think i might have to start smoking weed again![]()
