the next time
was doing an emergency mixdown on headphones with a hi-res, high pitched basstation part.. oh yeah, kool-aid! f**k headphones, f**k them. like strapping a microwave to your head or a plunger over your ear.later w/ that, i was producing hiphop in a small room, usually working on te beat and thus closer to the monitors while people were writing rhymes, needing some bass to 'feel it,' hey. at that point i could perceive the benefits of a day off of bass.
~ a month ago, for the first time in a dozen years, i realised i hadn't thought about tinnitus at any point in the last ~ month.. still there, but not always now i guess. so far i haven't associated it with hearing loss.. funny thing is i have the family tv from ~84 which is noisy as hell, about the same frequency.
so just saying again, don't give up hope. when it's a bitch, it's a real bitch.. but it can change.
when i was much younger i paralysed the cilia in one ear, going totally deaf for ~12 hours. that was f**king depressing. had to get high and wear myself out before, fortunately, relaxing and having sensation return..
stress..
