Dangers Of Very Loud Music

Hi John,

I have been suffering from Tinnitus now for around a year now. I am 28 years old and it is noise induced damage. Unfortunately for me I had always believed that the only damage you could cause your ears was the reduction of sensitivity to sound waves. By that I mean that gradually (Or quickly with loud music) your ability to hear would diminish, and the world would just get quieter. I also believed that Tinnitus was just a disease, that you couldn’t catch but could contract, like MS for example. Well Sony amplifiers, subs and components, my love for music of all kinds and having it so loud it would make pictures on peoples walls vibrate as I drove by, is left me with a savage case of noise induced Tinnitus. It almost took me over. The ringing is so loud, I can literally feel it in my ear cannel.

I just wish I knew the warning signs. It started when I could hear TV’s and CRT screens when they were on. I looked forward to LCD technology as I could not hear them squeeling, yet now everything screams and squeels.

The world has become so loud, and the only silence I get is when I’m asleep.

I can even hear it in the shower it is that loud, and there were NO WARNINGS of this anywhere, from anyone.

I used to look at the smokers that suied the tobacco industries as – what could you expect idiots of course if you smoke you’ll get cancer!
Well, I take it all back, and wish I had known listening to loud music would do this to me. Im such an idiot!.

I have ordered your Extra Strength Cochlear damage, and I’m not hoping for a miracle, even just the slightest relief will be totally unexpected, and I’ll let you know.

Yours
