Tinnitus is one of the ones that scares me. There's no accepted cure, and a loud impulse of noise can permanently damage the ears. I've always thought of it as a sunburn; you don't get cancer the first time, but if one keeps going out in the sun, one's chances go up. If I keep going to shows without hearing protection, then I might not get tinnitus the first time, but eventually the damage will be done. It's why I wear hearing protection every time. That all being said, this looks promising and I'm glad people are working in this space.
