pretty much immediately
earplugs are cool

Molded earplugs are coolest. Worth the expense.

I later found out that it wasn't true, but someone once told me "when a noise makes your ears ring, that's the last time you will hear that frequency because the ringing is those receptors dying" and that scared the hell out of me. This was when I was either in my late teens or early 20s and I've tried to be careful since...but it was too late. I have ringing that sometimes keeps me up at night. I assume my precautions i started taking kept it from getting too much worse.

I have people in my family who have developed bad hearing over the years. They were really into music, but barely listen to anything nowdays because of their challenged hearing. That is really sad.

When you’ve already got tinnitus, but severe stress turns it into pulsatile tinnitus and you can feel and hear your heartbeat in your ear. I can ignore the ringing when it happens, but if I had to deal with the pulsing on a regular basis I might actually go insane.

Ditto. I sleep with a 12 hour brown noise track, keeps the ringing off. I wear earplugs pretty much all the time now, and at ever single show. It at least hasn't gotten worse, and last time my hearing was tested they told me I hadn't lost anything yet.

You’re not wrong. I remember reading something when I was looking into the pulsatile tinnitus that there’s a higher rate of depression and anxiety with people who deal with tinnitus and it’s linked to some suicide attempts.

I can absolutely understand that; while I’m fine with the normal tinnitus because I’ve had it as long as I can remember, the pulsatile stuff can be infuriating. When it’s really bad, it’s starts pretty crazy in the morning and pops in and out throughout the day. It’s like someone is tapping their finger inside your ear while you’re trying to get shit done. I’ve absolutely self-medicated in efforts to reduce the annoyance.
We’re often quick to forget when things are good how something that seems small can become a nightmare for us if it’s not part of our regular life. Sometimes I get twitching in my thumbs and forefingers that doesn’t stop for hours, you’d think a little spasm/twitch wouldn’t have a big effect, but after a few hours you can’t stop focusing on it, or you end up typing weird, hitting wrong buttons on a remote, the annoyance adds up quick.

Unfamiliar with the type of thing I’m seeing.
That’s a line from Children of Men - maybe it came from there?
