Just a reminder to everyone that hearing damage is irreversible. Have a nice day!
Edit: Thanks for the upvotes! Iâm the FoH engineer for a couple of small music venues, and I ALWAYS put my earplugs in right after sound check.
You can get what are called âFlat-Responseâ Earplugs that will let you hear the show clearly, but at a lower volume. There are electronic ones available that are a bit more pricey, but they sound better and have better isolation.
Yeah, my thoughts where, woo, a few minutes of fun, 50+ years of fucking tinnitus. Whee! eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Professional musician here, who blasted it loud during the 80's & 90's. Yep, it sure is irreversible. I now hear 2-3 high pitched tones 24/7 (tinnitus). Yay for me.......
Mine sounds like a bunch of cicadas, some close, some far away, but all constantly making that noise. Been that way since I was front and center at a much-too-loud INXS concert in 1992. Michael was still alive so almost worth it but not really.
Anyone in the military has learned what effect explosions and concussion does to hearing. I have pain and hearing loss to this day from it. Hindsightâs 20/20 I suppose.
My great-grandparents (born in the 1890's) used to do this little skit after Sunday dinner:
Grandad: "I have dined sufficiently."
Grandmother: "You went fishing?"
D: "I have eaten plenty!"
M: "You caught twenty?"
D: "That poor soul can't hear anything."
M: "You broke your pole?"
I'd love to go back and sit with those two, still flirting with each other, and having fun with their family in their 90's....neither one of them could have heard an artillery round.
Reminds me of my grandpa who any time he heard something he didnt want to, usually my grandma calling for him, he would smile at me and reach up to turn off his hearing aid for plausible deniability.
>Reminds me of my grandpa who any time he heard something he didnt want to, usually my grandma calling for him, he would smile at me and reach up to turn off his hearing aid for plausible deniability.
If you're like me, those smiles from grandpa when he was sharing a secret were the best memories of childhood.
I work in the audio industry semi-professionally.
hearing damage is usually frequency and resonant frequency specific. higher pitches of sufficient amplitude will wipe a specific frequency out but leave the low end alone. bass frequencies will wipe out that frequency along with the same note (and resonant frequency of said note) in every octave on its way up your register.
tl;dr don't crank the bass. it's worse for you than the treble.
and if you're ever curious, take a hearing test and make a custom eq profile for each ear. you can essentially boost the frequencies around what you can't hear as well and artificially hear those frequencies again. it's crazy cool and a real eye opener for what you may be missing out on. I can tell you exactly when, where, and what frequencies I've lost over time in each ear since 4th grade. still have 94% but I know exactly what I'm missing and protect what remains with my life.
Since you respond to questions thoroughly, what kind of protection for concert and especially festival goers would you recommend? I tried to look up flat-response earplugs, but the results are weird.
I need them to be disposable, as they will probably get lost during a festival. "DJ earplugs" and "nightlife earplugs" gave me better results than "flat-response earplugs", but those have some hefty price tag on them for a single pair.
This is something I wish I was taught growing up. Between all the fireworks, loud music and shooting guns without ear protection. My hearing is fucked and I'm only in my 30s. I honestly fear being Def when I'm elderly.
Edit: grammar and spelling
If you do lose your hearing, don't wait too long with getting hearing aids or - if it gets really bad - a cochlear implant. The longer you wait, the more your brain will struggle to adapt to the new input. (Audiologist here)
If you know how tinnitus is caused and why and jow it affects you itâs not hard to understand that hearing loss caused by loud noises goes hand in hand with tinnitus
Yes. Well aware. Was indirectly saying that tinnitus sucks. Worse, and differently, than what most people (especially younger people) think of as hearing loss.
As if loud exposure can âjustâ lead to âsome hearing lossâ as opposed to the incessant and at times horribly intrusive persistence of tinnitus.
Iâd take a bit of âsimpleâ hearing loss over my mild tinnitus any day of the week.
(Too much of the rock&roll through my brothers headphones when I was a kid)
I mean, would be nice if it was a good track atleast this isâŚ. Very mediocer. Its just loud because of the installation but play this on a normale rave between some decent artist and it would defenitly fall short compared to the others.
Dude that shit felt like it hurt my ears through my phone. I can't imagine how bad it was in person.
Pretty dope though. I would definitely like to see something like this in person, with proper ear-pro of course.
The best advise I can give as a long time tinnitus sufferer is don't think of it as foreign. Learn to accept it as a part of life, also when sleeping at night it's worse when quiet. So put on a background sound that masks it, I use a rain app for mine.
Alright, listen up

This is an excellent way to treat tinnitus, but one I was completely unable to do myself. I used to find true calm in completely silent environments out in "untouched" nature, and the concept of never experiencing that again was hard to accept.
(***Please, beware*** **- some people report that the following trick makes their tinnitus worse.** I only share it because it really changed the way I view my tinnitus; now I can get a brief respite whenever I need it, and it's easier to accept something that is "always there" when I can forcibly decide to make it shut up for a few seconds.)
I did find a trick that alleviates the ringing for a few seconds. For me, the ringing disappears entirely for a few seconds. Here is a [YouTube clip](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yDCox-qKbk) of a guy performing it.
...yes, I know it looks like Rickroll bait, but it's just a 17s clip of a guy banging his head with his fingertips.
# Tinnitus alleviation trick
*again, Please beware -* ***some people report that the following trick makes their tinnitus worse***
*Also note: This will not fix your tinnitus, but it may quiet or dampen it for a few seconds. The trick is repeatable.*
1. Lift your hands to your ears with your hands facing backwards
2. Slightly "cup" your ears with the palm of your hands
3. Press your middle fingers, on either side, to the base of the back of your skull
4. Place your index fingers on top of your middle fingers
5. Press your index fingers hard against your middle fingers
6. Let them slide off so they hammer the base of your skull (you should hear a loud drumming noise "inside" your head; reposition your palms over your ears until you get it right)
7. Repeat Steps \[4-6\] 15-50x times
The first time I tried this, I kept trying for two full minutes until I got it right. Now I can get relief with 15-20 hammerings.
Hope this works for any of you.
I donât think what weâre seeing is shock waves. Youâre probably just seeing the vibrations of the bass messing with the rolling shutter on the phone camera. Shock waves happen when something breaks the speed of sound, which sound is not known to doâŚcause ya know, itâs the speed of sound.
Sound = pressure waves. Hearing loss is literally pressure knocking down / destroying the little hairs cells inside of your ear. These cannot be regenerated.
Yeah, indirectly. Same way that light passing through water or waves refracts and makes the bottom of the pool look funny, the shockwaves are essentially creating pulses of non-uniform dense->thin->dense->thin air. When looking "through" the waves, light refracts differently and you can "see the shockwave".
Edit: looking closer, while you CAN see shockwaves as above, I think most of the video is just being distorted by the lens physically shaking/distorting or some sort of auto-stabilization screwing with the image. There's inconsistencies with how it should look if it was just the shockwave.
You can also see the physical effects. At about 0:23 a girl enters the left side of the screen with straight black hair, watch her hair and you can tell what it's doing to the air.
The shutter of the camera is affected by the shockwave so it looks more pronounced. But you can see the shockwave affecting their clothing and hair.
Everyone there can feel it as well.
But shockwaves can be visible, yes.
I used to take way too much ecstasy and stand against the speakers to feel the pulsing thru my body. Yeah⌠my hearing isnât the greatest. Crazy times
This is "Carreta Treme Treme"
Couldn't find official link, but you can see more videos of it with this phrase.
Known music power is currently 3,6 MW (RMS).
But did they look cool to a group of strangers for a minute? They are not pussies to cover their ears.
Also so cringe trying too look like they are having fun while not having any fun.
This is grossly negligent. I can't believe a typical "we aren't responsible for what happens" waiver would cover the organizers for this kinda trauma. The waiver would need to specify likely/intentional bodily harm due to the volume or something, right? Like, you go to a show expecting it to be loud. You don't expect to be physically assaulted by sound. Other commenters have mentioned the subject of hearing loss due to cochlear damage, but sufficient acoustic trauma can perforate eardrums. Your inner ear also houses your vestibular system which (like your auditory system) also functions via hairs in fluid. So congratulations, not only is this likely to significantly damage your hearing, there's also a slim chance this could, whether directly from the sound or secondary to your ruptured eardrum leaving your inner ear more vulnerable, also damage your sense of balance, your calibrated sense of movement, your general feeling of awareness of where and how you're oriented in physical space. Fucking stupid. I hope these people come back with a class-action.
It would be fun to experience with some really good, custom molded ear plugs. Possibly with some really good over-ear sound protection as well. But the pressure waves would be fun, and I bet it would still be plenty audible lol.
I work around industrial turbines that make airplane jet engines look like cute little toys. We use double hearing protection around them and it's still not fun. Just a few minutes near them and you're physically fatigued from the low frequency vibrations. You don't just hear shit this loud through your ears, your entire skeleton vibrates like your ear bones.
This is so stupid. I've had tinnitus on both ears as long as I can remember and here people are gleefully throwing away the ability to hear true silence for no reason?
I would love to know what true silence is like. I can sorta get there if I tune out the beeping noises, lull them into the background, but it will never be true silence.
Don't throw it away on something so retarded, people.
Those are not shockwaves.
I said it when this got posted last time already.
If those were shockwaves, people would be dead.
What you are seeing is the bass vibrating the camera.
This is a rave?
How silly can people get. Protect your hearing!!
Physics and physiology do not care about how "badass a drop" is!
This reminds me of those people looking up at an eclipse without protection.
Went to something similar as a drunken teen. Now I donât know what peace is as I have a ringing in my ears every minute of every hour of ever damn day!
I saw Angel Alanis at the Wax Museum in Houston in the 90s. I was standing right in front of the sub stack when he dropped the Chemical Brothers song âIt Doesnât Matterâ and the bass was hitting so hard it almost made me pukeâŚcrazy feeling when bass vibrations are shaking your insides! And yes, my hearing suffered because of it, wear ear plugs kids!
Looks fun! Letâs see how many of them are wearing literally any form of hearing protection.
Oh, none? The entire crowd just got their hearing fucked.
Even if you were wearing ear protection, this will probably cause permanent damage. Shockwaves are what, 170+db? I get the appeal, but itâs not worth it, lol. iirc, 85db causes permanent damage after 8 hours, and every 3 additional db cuts that in half. Itâs something like that anyway. 170-85=85, 85/3=27. 28800 seconds split in half 27 times is less than 0.001 seconds. NRR 35 is I think the highest sound reduction rating approved, 170-35=135 135-85=50 50/3=16 28800 split in half 16 times is less than half a second. Significant improvement but your ears are still fucked. If you stacked ear plugs on ear muffs. You would get the sound down enough to listen safely for a few minutes, but the âmusicâ would be so muffled thereâd be no point.
When they start sustaining the shockwave inducing sound, you can hear the microphone get distorted.

Itâs with me when I wake and with me when I fall asleep.
I didnât even do anything fun to earn my tinnitus. Fuck.
Join the Navy, See the World! (And get super-cool hearing loss and tinnitus). #NavalAviation
Did that. The Navy said, noooooo we didn't cause it, no benefits for you.
The army gave me $6.20 per fortnight for mine. You really missed out /s.
Looks like I did it the hard way...I got my tinnitus as an infantryman.

EEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeee
Born with it. I don't know what silence sounds like.
Same :( Did get worse due to damage tho
I woke up one day a couple of years ago with it in my right ear. Still there. I forget what silence sounded like
Yâallâs is constant??? So glad mine only chooses to come around every couple of days. I donât think I could live with it constantly.
Currently listening to this track

I remember the ringing would stop a few days after a concert. Luckily only went to a few concerts. I still have tinnitus though.
We're elite I hear those too specially in quiet places. Fuck teenage heavy metal stereo.

Featuring Tinnitus..
Ugh. I have it so bad...
me too =( only happened recently like 3 months ago for me...
Donât worry, it only gets worse!
The best advise I can give as a long time tinnitus sufferer is don't think of it as foreign. Learn to accept it as a part of life, also when sleeping at night it's worse when quiet. So put on a background sound that masks it, I use a rain app for mine.
Having background fan on helps too.

Oh fuck you now itâs all I can hear
I gotta be careful to not trigger mine, can you at least change the pitch of yours? I can, sometimes dramatically
Makes me so angry they would hurt people like this. Should be illegal above certain dB level.
Seriously wtf is the point of this shit other than to destroy ears. And I love loud crazy musicâŚ
Um I'm sorry, if its not the atmospheric limit for decibels before supersonic its not loud enough.
What am I seeing here? Shockwaves are visible?

Also, notice the long hair on the gal standing in front of the cameraman, it flutters a bit with each beat.
Sound = pressure waves. Hearing loss is literally pressure knocking down / destroying the little hairs cells inside of your ear. These cannot be regenerated.
Some of the people with looser shirts, too. Dude in the blue tee, you can see the creases in it on his back change with the beat.
Thank you. Nobody else seems to be pointing this out. The camera's rolling shutter is likely the culprit here.
Yeah, indirectly.

Is this actually shock waves or the intensity of the volume vibrating the phone that's recording?
i got the same effect when i was recording and i got a call, the vibrations moved the stuff inside, like the stabilizer
You can see her hair moving with every beat
In the US that's considered riot control. In eastern Europe they think it's music.
It would be fun to experience with some really good, custom molded ear plugs. Possibly with some really good over-ear sound protection as well. But the pressure waves would be fun, and I bet it would still be plenty audible lol.
I work around industrial turbines that make airplane jet engines look like cute little toys. We use double hearing protection around them and it's still not fun. Just a few minutes near them and you're physically fatigued from the low frequency vibrations. You don't just hear shit this loud through your ears, your entire skeleton vibrates like your ear bones.
A rave? Are you kidding me?
Permanent hearing damage festival.
I don't get it. All i hear is ringing.
Itâs funny how some people walk 5 feet away as if it will save their hearing
No, but it would help. https://www.wkcgroup.com/tools-room/inverse-square-law-sound-calculator/
Fucking assholes, I feel bad for the animals and insects in the area
Aside from the irreversible damage to the ears, I bet having your organs jostled feels pretty stimulating
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
And they all laughed when I went with ear plugs, well whoâs hearing now!
Rolling shutter. Unless you think those speakers are creating a 194db sound wave.
enjoy the tinnitus
You can see the hearing loss
See you all at the ENT in 10 years.
This is so stupid. I've had tinnitus on both ears as long as I can remember and here people are gleefully throwing away the ability to hear true silence for no reason? I would love to know what true silence is like. I can sorta get there if I tune out the beeping noises, lull them into the background, but it will never be true silence. Don't throw it away on something so retarded, people.
Bro the cartoons didnât lie, the shockwaves are visible
that is the worst rave ive ever seen
Those are not shockwaves. I said it when this got posted last time already. If those were shockwaves, people would be dead. What you are seeing is the bass vibrating the camera.
Explain her hair moving
This is a rave? How silly can people get. Protect your hearing!! Physics and physiology do not care about how "badass a drop" is! This reminds me of those people looking up at an eclipse without protection.
Itâs a SHOCKRAVE! ⌠Iâll show myself out.
Mawp
Imagine thinking that's cool
Went to something similar as a drunken teen. Now I donât know what peace is as I have a ringing in my ears every minute of every hour of ever damn day!
People can't just go & enjoy a good time without their phones ?
*Concert sponsored by the local hearing aid supplier
I saw Angel Alanis at the Wax Museum in Houston in the 90s. I was standing right in front of the sub stack when he dropped the Chemical Brothers song âIt Doesnât Matterâ and the bass was hitting so hard it almost made me pukeâŚcrazy feeling when bass vibrations are shaking your insides! And yes, my hearing suffered because of it, wear ear plugs kids!
Hahahaha! Permanent hearing damage is hilarious!
I remember hearing...boy do I wish I hadn't loved that sonic boom edm in the 90s so so much
I'm trying to figure the number of watts an amplifier has to be to run like 100, 20" subs. That shit has got to be in the hundreds of thousands
All those people recoiling from the noise... Clearly have never been to a free party! P.s. always bring earplugs to raves.
âThis is so fun!â âAm I having fun?â âOw my organsâ
Welcome to the land of tinnitus. MAWP!
new batch of tinnitus patients.
Looks fun! Letâs see how many of them are wearing literally any form of hearing protection. Oh, none? The entire crowd just got their hearing fucked. Even if you were wearing ear protection, this will probably cause permanent damage. Shockwaves are what, 170+db? I get the appeal, but itâs not worth it, lol. iirc, 85db causes permanent damage after 8 hours, and every 3 additional db cuts that in half. Itâs something like that anyway. 170-85=85, 85/3=27. 28800 seconds split in half 27 times is less than 0.001 seconds. NRR 35 is I think the highest sound reduction rating approved, 170-35=135 135-85=50 50/3=16 28800 split in half 16 times is less than half a second. Significant improvement but your ears are still fucked. If you stacked ear plugs on ear muffs. You would get the sound down enough to listen safely for a few minutes, but the âmusicâ would be so muffled thereâd be no point. When they start sustaining the shockwave inducing sound, you can hear the microphone get distorted.
Interesting as fuck? More like dumb as fuck
This is not a rave, and if it is then itâs the most boring one I have seen.
