Took my teenage daughter to a sellout arena concert for a band she likes. This photo from the venue accurately represents the audience demographic. (lemmy.world)

Oh mate, this is my favourite comment. It's about 32 hours later and my right ear is still ringing. Full on white noise. There was a point near the end of the concert where the band asked the crowd to scream as loud as they could. Fuck me, did they oblige. It was piercing.

I'm at another music venue tonight, a fraction of the size. I'm basically deaf. Last night was inescapable high pitched sound. Tonight is calming whale song in comparison.

For future bouts of tinnitus put you palm over you ears with your fingers pointing behind you, cross your first two fingers of each hand, and flick the back of your head behind your ears couple times. It doesn't fix it but does give relief when the ringing gets intense.

What? Ears facing behind you?

The high frequencies are the first to go.

I can't hear over 13.5khz anymore... supposedly happens with aging too. To be fair 13khz is a really annoying noise.

There is a scene in a TV show called Person of Interest where an AI communicates with a younger character in a high frequency tone older characters around her can't hear. When I first watched it, I heard it. Now I don't.
