I just don’t blast my music. I play it at a reasonable volume.
Not from listening to music, but from setting up a mic for a discord call while wearing headphones. Picked up feedback directly in my ears for like a 3rd of a second. Permanent ringing now.
Yeah I’m kinda depressed about It still, it was like 2 weeks ago. But there’s not really much to do about it.
The worst part is I’ve been extremely mindful about my hearing. Always wear hearing protection at concerts, when playing in bands, when using power tools, mowing the lawn. But one slip up and you’re still fucked.
I damaged my hearing when I was a kid, blasting out music from a Walkman. Digital devices tend to have limiters on, so I try not to override those, plus I listen to a lot more Ambient stuff nowadays.
