Tinnitus

[hollygolightly]

Hi :)

There was an article on the Inside Out (http://www.bbc.co.uk/insideout/) programme this evening about loud music and how it can cause tinnitus and deafness. It was a really insteresting show. Primarily focussing on younger people going out clubbing and to bars with loud music.

The RNID have some useful information on tinnitus (http://www.rnid.org.uk/html/information/tinnitus/home.htm) :)

Holly, that's really great that you have posted this - very timely for me :notworthy: .

I am certain all those loud student gigs I went to have permanently damaged my lug'oles :( .

It's really bad at the moment too and I am even going to see my GP tomorrow about it :( .

I'm off to have a read of your link now! :thumbs:

thanks, thats interesting :)

I remember after going through a very difficult time with the noisy NFHs, I felt as if I was always coming out of a night club, you know when you can still hear the music in your ears after you have gone home?
I was actually away from home one night and woke up in the night, convinced I could hear the music and was just about to bang on the party wall when I came round and realised I wasnt even at home!! :D

horrible times :(
