Hi all, this is my first post to the IDM list. I went and saw my first 'real' DJ on Friday. It was Richie Hawtin, and it was good. However, I didn't take ear plugs -- I didn't think it be _that_ loud. I ended up stuffing my ears with kleenex. Now, I've had a ringing in my one ear the past few days. I saw a nurse yesterday who told me it should go away soon, and I'm seeing a doctor about it today. Hopefully, everything will be okay. With all the talk about tinnitus the other week on IDM, and reading about it, I implore everyone to take ear plugs with them to _any_ concert they go to. I wish that I had taken the minute amount of time it would have taken to equip myself with them. I've hardly been able to sleep the past few days either (which isn't 100% due to the ringing - mostly worrying that it will never stop and noisy roommates who woke me up on the weekend, thus not allowing me to recuperate), which can't help much. Anyways, I've usually always used ear plugs at rock concerts, and for those of you who've never used them, they really don't take away from anything at all - they just lower the decibels so you can enjoy the music instead. Take care, PLUR, Tim Howie 3B CS/IS UW http://www.undergrad.math.uwaterloo.ca/~thowie "All my life I avoided stadiums...now I'm playing in one." K.Cobain

the good sign is that your ears ARE ringing! when they don't ring, (after exposure to loudness) then that's when you have a problem! In a message dated 9/30/97 6:15:02 PM, thowie@undergrad.math.uwaterloo.ca wrote:
