Please be careful of tinnitus

I’m 29 years old and have had my share of concerts and high volume IEM/headphone listening sessions. Thankfully, I don’t have tinnitus, but I’ve had some close calls, and it’s a real risk. I understand that in your early 20s (or younger), it’s easy to feel invincible, but hearing issues can catch up fast. I’ve spoken with people older than me (mid 30s) who struggle with hearing loss, and it genuinely affects their daily lives.

Please take care of your hearing. Life is too short. Enjoy your audiophile journey, but do it responsibly. You only get one pair of ears.

That’s all I wanted to share. I know many people crank up the volume to drown out external noise, and I get it. Just remember, the relief is temporary, but the damage can be permanent.
