TINNITUS: WHAT IS IT?
Over 50 million americans have this, many....young people, it is truly an epidemic, more than 300 mill have it overseas.
Imagine a high pitch sound that that will never go away, always inside your head, 24/7.
Well, experience it here first, or, if you cannot hear it here, go here:

TINNITUS ti-NIGHT-us or TIN-i-tus: the perception of sound in the ears or head where no external source is present. Both pronunciations are correct; the American Tinnitus Association uses ti-NIGHT-us.
The word comes from Latin and means "to tinkle or to ring like a bell."
The way it should actually be described is: "A nightmare!"
SOME people will experience it temporarily or intermittently.
For MOST, it will never go away!
I am a musician and filmmaker, music is my life and I do not hate music or decided to go on a crusade against the music business.
In fact, I still listen to music and love it even more.
But folks, this needs to be known, it has become an epidemic and YOU can help us spread the word!.
Most of today`s rock acts (The darkness, Tool, Pearl jam, the Killers, Metallica, U2, Audioslave, Nickelback, etc, plus established acts like Phil Collins, The Who, Cindy Lauper, Pat Benatar, Ozzy, Marylin Manson, Rolling Stones, Fleetwood mac, etc), have members that have this or all the members have it.
In the music biz people dont ask does any musician have this?, usually the question iswho doesnt have this?.
Problem is, most of them in the music biz nothing because it is perceived as "un-cool". So they go on giving Tinnitus to others, for them its easy (having 20 million in your bank account helps), for most of us, it is not.
Over 50 million americans have it, ages between 20 and 60. And about 100 mill outside the US.
Please wear ear plugs when you are experiencing a loud concert!!!!, it will not block the sound, it will only eliminate high end, badly mixed, distorted sounds, it will actually make the concert sound better!
Please, be carefull with those I-pods, if your buddy next to you can hear them, then you ARE damaging your ears and then it is just a matter of time before you get Tinnitus.
Save your ears, be careful and tell others about this.
