>tfw perforated my eardrum a while back
>tfw tests said I had perfect hearing even with the perforation
>tfw super hearing

I'm sorry op.

>>29061103
y-you too

I'm seriously considering making an EP with just one sine wave panned to the right, to replicate tinnitus.

Yeah, I have tinnitus too
>tfw you can't remember what silence sounded like

>>29061161
For god's sake, yes. I'll buy it.

>>29061168
>>tfw you can't remember what silence sounded like

I don't want this feel, take it back

>>29061182
you can just use a tone generator
use tinnitus as best as you can
develop great relative pitch and you can have perfect pitch

>>29061182
Doing it.

>>29061161
Isn't that what some doctors/terapists recomend to "cure" tinnitus? Apperently you get so used to it you don't notice it anymore.

I'm scared I might actually start noticing MORE if I do this.

I have tinnitus and hyperacusis. The tinnitus still really pisses me off and causes pretty severe anxiety, especially at night.

To be honest the hyperacusis is even worse, though, because I can't listen to music even moderately loud without it seeming painful, and I can't really go to concerts.

I was kind of surprised when I went to the doctor and he said my hearing was perfect.

>>29061262
Eh, I'll do it anyway. I'll make it a little more musical than Bar Sachiko though. It'll actually be listenable as an EP.

>>29061313
Name it

What?

>>29061196
>tfw no tinnitus

Sure is easy to sleep in here. Maybe use ear protection in your next life.

>tfw can't listen to music with headphones anymore because the ringing is too much

>>29061168
>>tfw you can't remember what silence sounded like

It sounds like eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

>>29061355
I developed tinnitus from asthma medication.

>>29061388
the hell. i didnt know that was possible.

>>29061388
It's supposed to go in your mouth, not your ear.

My eyes are really shitty, I see those eye floaters all the time and little sparks.

If I ever go blind I'd probably consider suicide so iktf

>>29061437
lol'd

>>29061437
:/

>>29061444

>tfw never be able to stare at a perfect blue sky without all the glaring imperfections

>>29061437

Ive had this for years. My variant is like a more high-pitched noise than the humming from old crt tvs. I've learned to cope with it, but unfortunatly it interferes with the audiospectrum where most speech is heard. Sometimes I have to ask people to repeat what they have said.
Dont listen to music loudly with headphones for prolonged periods of time either. It` s just as bad for your hearing as shooting without protection.

>>29061475
Jesus christ this. Its pretty fucked.

>tfw imperfect vision
>tfw legally blind without contacts or glasses
>tfw not sure what I would do if I lost all my sight

>>29061355
m-maybe I could make up a story about having a near death experience when some super terrorist fired a gun near my ear and almost killed me instead of being an idiot in my early teens and listening to music at 10x volume on shitty headphones

>>29061375
Please no. I didn't even notice my tinnitus that much until I bought myself some nice noise-cancelling headphones. I really hope it doesn't get worse.

u wot m8

>>29061444
wait seeing those squiggly lines and random sparks randomly means you have bad eyesight too? WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME GOD?
>>29061475
tf
>>29061497
yeah, mine is a high pitched eeeeee too. I think this is the most common.

>>29061501
>>29061475
>>29061444
floaters are pretty common

Yeappp. Heccra's got it. feels ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo man.

>>29061262
so if i listen to aphex twin's Ventolin all day every day my tinnitus will stop?

I'm not following.

>>29061554
I see floaters and little flashes of lights every time I look at something white or bright. My eyes are also always dry as fuck and I have to take eyedrops to keep them somewhat white-ish in hue and not bright red. And I'm nearsighted

My dad has probably the worst kind of tinitus there is. He describes it as a really low roaring sound. He cant listen to his old 70s rock albums without turning the bass almost off. To boot the muscles in his hands are degenerating. He used to be a big studiomusician here in Norway too.
Feels really bad, man...

>>29061612
>every time I look at something white or bright.

Oh. I just see them if I focus really hard on them. Guess 20/50 eyesight. Feels avarage man

>>29061592
Apperently being in constant exposure to a replica of your tinnitus for prolonged periods of time make it second nature so you don't notice it anymore, kind of like you can zone out other people talking and focus on one person in a noisy room.

From what I heard you're suppose to sleep with the noise every night for idk how long.

>>29061671
Atleast he got a chance to live the dream.

Yo guys

Is it possible to get tinnitus like 2 days or so after you went to a gig?

I went to a Bullet gig on Sunday and Tuesday while I was reading in my bed my right ear suddenly went ROOOOOAAAAR on top of the normal ringing days after a gig. I still hear this shit when it's really quiet ;_;

>>29061804
RIP in piss your ears

>>29061804
Enjoy tinnitus.

>>29061804
You most likely always had it, but you never noticed it until that night. I never thought I had tinnitus after I listened to some noisy screamo album way too loud and my ears were ringing after it, but it eventually went away (or so I thought) but I coincidentally read something about tinnitus and was glad I didn't have it, untill I actually noticed that I did.

Those short 'loud episodes' happen to me sometimes too, the ringing gets WAY too noticeable for like 5 seconds and then it goes to normal.


tl;dr
ONE OF US, ONE OF US.

>>29061804
Getting tinnitus after every gig you go to ? Maybe you should use some ear protection.

>>29061973
I always forget mine..
Bringing max protection for next gig tho (tomorrow)

>>29062036
Hope you don't have it bro, it's not a good feel to have.

human sense tier list

>never gonna give you up tier
sight
touch
hearing

>negligible tier
smell
6th sense

>idc tier
taste

>>29062393
>smell above taste

>>29062471
smell is way more important than taste.

>>29062393
correct

I feel for you all.

>>29061804
Two days? 50:50. If it doesn't go away after a week it's usually permanent. You'll learn to live with it, eventually. I've had it since I was like 5 years old. Doesn't really bother otherwise, but I can't spend time in extremely quiet places. I always ahve to leave for an example my desktop on for every night.

>>29062541
In what sense? (no pun intended). The two are largely related.

>>29062559
I assume that's because smell could theoretically save your life more than taste

>>29062578
I suppose, but I can't see many such occasions of it saving it though. Taste provides me much more pleasure anyway.

>>29062559
well smell at least has a few practical applications

taste has ZERO.

you can smell a fire, you can find mold, smell a carcass, some harmful toxins, etc.

Taste doesn't really do anything for you, in fact, it's kind of inhibiting since good foods generally taste bad and bad foods usually taste good.

>>29062606
I believe the chart's not based on pleasure.

>>29061804
"Why are you wearing earplugs at a concert. You're such a pussy"
>complains about ringing in ears a week after
>explain thay it tinnitus and that I have it too.
>he feels like an idiot.
Always wear earplugs at concerts, guys. You can adjust them to increase the amount you hear too.

>>29062665
My chart would be based on how much I rely, utilise and enjoy each sense on a day to day basis.

>>29062754
that's what mine is.

>sight
extremely basic and useful sense, would probably kill myself if i find myself without it unless i'm over 65 and i'm living fine doing nothing.

>touch
imagine exercising without this sense. you could be fucking yourself up completely and not even knowing it

>hearing
come on this is a music board. not to mention it would cripple your basic communication ability

>smell
it's okay i guess. not much of a trade off for losing it and not much of a trade off for losing it

>6th sense
same as above

>taste
you might not be able to taste your favorite foods anymore, but that means you can eat disgusting tier healthy food without it bothering you as much. you can walk around eating raw spinach and nutrient shakes like a patrish

Seeing Swans in about a month

How at risk am I? My hearing is great currently and I haven't been to many concerts.

>>29064288
Get earplugs bro, there's one that are not even that noticeable.

And even then, I doubt you'll get tinnitus after one concert, but don't over do it

>>29064332
>I doubt you'll get tinnitus after one concert
Yeah, that's what I'm thinking

I've been to like, four proper shows. Only two were in small venues where hearing damage is a possible issue so I'm fine in terms of hearing now.

I'm thinking if I'm not in a risky position hearing-wise then not using earplugs to get the full "Swans experience" wouldn't be too bad.
