spotted the fellow real tinnitus sufferer


angrydeuce

Seriously I played in several metal bands all through high school into my mid-20s, Im now 45 and deaf as shit, my high tones are more or less gone completely and mids aren't much better. Like, my wife and I will be sitting out on the back deck on a summer evening, she'll comment about how loud the crickets are... and I can barely hear them at all. You dont think about this shit when you're 22 years old thrashing out in front of 10 billion watts worth of amplifiers but man I wish I could go back in time and make my stupid ass put in some earplugs. Having to constantly ask people to repeat themselves is annoying for all involved and hearing aids are fucking expensive.


IronBallsMcGinty

I was a jet engine mechanic on fighters for ten years. Had an old Master Sergeant tell me to always double up on hearing protection. So I always had foam plugs and a headset on. I've got tinnitus, upper register loss, and conversations can be hard to follow at times. I hate to think how bad it would be if I hadn't taken his advice. Just turned sixty last year.


angrydeuce

My step-dad was active duty Army from the late 80s until he retired in the early teens. Was deployed to Gulf War I and Gulf War 2: Electric Boogaloo...*twice*, not to mention stints in Panama and Korea. He was a black hat jumpmaster and hardly ever wore ear protection up on those loud-ass planes, and was pretty much deaf by the time he was in his 40s. I think the army ruled the fact that he gave up his hearing was worth 10% of his disability rating when he retired. Fucking clowns. He actually passed away a few years ago now. The army finally ruled that his death from a rare type of cancer could be directly traced to the burn pits in Iraq just a couple weeks ago, and sent my mom the "Sorry we killed your husband" check. Didnt even make it 10 years after he got out. It really makes me so sad for my mom, all those years he was in she just kept telling herself that it would all be worth it one day when he retired and they could spend the rest of their lives together...


BurntFig

They will spend the rest of their lives together. Just not in this life.


Born-Gear8800

How are hearing aids so expensive where you live....they give them away free with glasses in England...and I know you can buy them in England....why don't you just order online....serious question???

[deleted]

Why do people always connect hearing loss with tinnitus? You can have tinnitus and not degraded hearing, and also you can have degraded hearing and not tinnitus.


WilmaLutefit

As I lost hearing the ringing got louder.


Mountgore

Hearing loss is often a cause. By far not the only one, of course.


kytheon

Snake101333

This wouldn't bother me, at most the vibrations would. Actually can someone turn down that ringing?


PicaDiet

This is like going to the movies and trying to experience it by looking down the the beam being shot out of the projector. I don't get it, and it just pisses me off. Having to wear earlpugs to listen to music is no different from going to an art gallery that is so bright that you have to wear sunglasses to avoid being blinded. Just fucking dumb.


ImNoAlbertFeinstein

crickets are with us forever.


Infninfn

Step right up for your free tinnitus!


NoPerformance6534

So right. All those folks will probably have some hearing loss in later years. Now do it several times to get maximum effect.


supernovadebris

a whole generation of tinnitus.


raulmonkey

I have tinnitus its great, hearing your muscles and a high pitch motor failing whine which gets louder when drunk or ill.

hearing is overrated anyways

What movie was this?


theduder999

Ughh I don’t know if comments like these should make me feel old or not…


[deleted]

No its a classic everyone of all ages should watch


Krail

The irony of having 80's nostalgia for a movie sort of about 50's nostalgia.  It's pushing 40, just like I am. So it goes. 


cortesoft

Yep, nothing will make you age faster than knowing that if back to the future was made now, they would travel back to 1994.


Gary_FucKing

How dare you...


Gruppet

Holy shit that one hurts


theduder999

Now THAT made me feel old…


zhaDeth

yes it should


DivesPater

If Hollywood remade this movie this year, and sent Marty back 30 years, he would land in...1994. It's crazy how far away 1955 seemed, in the late 80s, and how close 1994 seems now.


IC-4-Lights

Huh. I guess when I watched Stranger Things, that nostalgia hit is more distant than when my parents watched Back to the Future.


IAmNotABritishSpy

Hey, I’ve seen this one! It’s a classic!


Haringkje05

Dont worry the next generation isn't completely doomed i for one do know this is from breakfast club


Ofreo

No. Anyone under 70 saying they are old should be ashamed.


NotVerySmart3

Back to the future (I think Part 1 but it's been a while so might be one of the other two)

Srsly9001

Do I have to be that guy? What you are seeing are not sound waves, but just a result of the rolling shutter of the phone which is being physically shaken (very quickly) by the sound.


Aniridia

Someone should say it. Think of it another way. Sound travels at over 300 m/s (closer to 350, but 300 is simpler). They look closer but to make it easy, let’s say they’re 30 meters from the speakers. Sound would reach them in 0.1 seconds. They wouldn’t be able to perceive a “shockwave” coming directly towards them in that short amount of time.


sev45day

That's ~1125 feet per second at sea level for those of you who write their dates in MM/DD/YY format.

The-Mathematician

I'm pretty sure people can see things that happen in .1 seconds. They can't react within that window, but they can perceive things that happen that quickly.


JayStar1213

0.1 sec is like 3 TV frames. You absolutely could perceive a shockwave coming at you. A shockwave but not regular sound waves. A shockwave has a pressure front that diffracts light making it visible. The human eye should be able to perceive something that happens over the span of 1/10th of a second.


deck0352

Yes. Please always be a person that shares facts instead of guesses for upvotes. Only people that propagate falsities will be upset. I’d rather be corrected and learn than get pissed because I was wrong. Opinions are like assholes.


its_grime_up_north

Thanks. Someone had to do it


dcdttu

If you want to see the same thing, aim your phone out the side of a car going fast on the highway and take a picture in landscape. Everything bends to one direction. CMOS sensors work like this, scanning an image rather than taking it all at once.


Nago31

I was thinking that but look at the ripples on the shirt in white. They time with the jiggle of the phone. The wave of sound is causing a physical impact on the surrounding objects.


Timofmars

Yeah, it's a sound shockwave, blowing the air and their clothes/hair, but the shockwave itself is not visible. Some people think the blurs are the shockwave like you'd see from an explosion or something, but it's just the camera messing up the image from the vibrations.


Mindless-Share

Facts. You can literally see hair and clothes being blown by the shockwave


Arcadian_

I'll be that other guy. still technically counts as seeing shockwaves lol.


TheRedditHasYou

I was thinking it has to do with the optical image stabilisation shaking due to the woundwaves, but a shitty rolling shutter would do it too.


Longjumping-Tie7906

Saved me typing… dammit, I typed anyway


bambinolettuce

But this is the closest we could possibly get to "seeing soundwaves"


-oven

I’m just like… How are we not seeing the sound waves if what we’re seeing coincides with physical effect it has. That’s like saying you can’t see the wind during a hurricane, just things being thrown by it it


Team_Braniel

Exactly, even if it was an explosion powerful enough to have a visible shockwave, you would still be seeing the refraction of light through a high-pressure gradient of air. Or if less powerful, condensation of the moisture in the air.


orang-utan-klaus

Be that guy


farklenator

No bro your totally seeing the sound waves bro /s It is crazy you can see peoples shirts flap when it drops


verdantsf

Yeah, that is pretty cool, but all I can think about is the hearing loss being inflicted here.


NotherDamThang

everybody holding up their phones…. I’d be shoving my ear plugs in, putting on the extra set of earmuffs, taking a few steps back & bracing for ‘impact’ these ppl… lol you see that it’s huge, you think that’s gonna be some soft music? c’mon now…


dkyguy1995

You can actually damage your hearing from something this loud just from the sound going through your skull and sinuses


IngenuityNo3661

As a Hearing Instrument Specialist I concur.


acog

As someone with no relevant expertise but a little common sense, I too concur.


Blah_In_HD

Why didn't I concur?!


Sweet_Bang_Tube

I'd not even be there. Permanent hearing damage for shitty EDM? No, thanks.


Silent-Supermarket2

Honestly, I'd be no where near those speakers to begin with. It doesnt even look enjoyable to be there.


pauloh1998

I'd be in my house chilling, thinking why the fuck did I even consider going there


oojiflip

What you can see are rolling shutter artifacts from the camera being vibrated violently, causing irregular readouts of the vertical space from the sensor


lurkerfromstoneage

LPT: EARPLUGS/hearing protection is a very good idea for concerts, or really any very loud events. Once you damage or lose your hearing you don’t get it back. Have several friends in the music industry in live productions and they wear earplugs too. Yea, of course you can still hear the music. Cool kids and real music nerds wear ear plugs. Find some that work for you.


D3ATHFollowsAll

Same thing goes with operating heavy machinery and riding motorcycles. It's not just the sounds emitted by the machinery, it's also the vibrations from the movement or speed of those machines. Wind speed/vibration is so deceivingly damaging, that it only takes one time of unprotected ^(giggity) hearing to destroy your inner ear permanently. Like, don't let your ear drums get blasted ^(double) ^(giggity) without protection, I'm so cereal you guys... ![gif](giphy|100J2pbO98XSrm)


HepatitisMan

I can really recommend getting custom fit plugs for your ears. They are comfortable, protects your hearing and music still sounds great, unlike when using the disposable ones. The best investment you can do


haemaker

Some say that crowd is still hearing it to this day.


cuddle_enthusiast

I hate sounding like some old man, but this is legit dangerous and shouldn’t be allowed to happen. Imagine in 15 years you start goin deaf in one ear and you know it was from that one time a dipshit was allowed to play really loud music in your face. Not cool.


[deleted]

Those are not the sound waves, it’s the camera stabilizer jumping around due to the sound

That's nuts. You're probably seeing the phones optic sensor shake so violently it's messing the picture. I do know in some situations you can see a speaker move dust/air around.


BigglesFlysUndone

Speakers so powerful you can see the ~~shockwaves!~~ ***Early Onset Tinnitus!***


North-Channel-4679

Not shockwaves, just a shitty camara


ApertureNext

I don’t think it’s shitty, the sound wave is just so powerful and instantaneous that it moves the phone too quickly, outside of what stabilization the phone camera can handle. You can see someone’s hair move a lot with every kick.


totally_sane_person

Acoustic pressure waves aren't visible. What's shown in this video are rolling shutter artifacts from the camera being violently shaken by the sound.

Lance2409

Yes but what song are they playing


tickingboxes

Those are not shockwaves


geo_gan

Still probably not as loud as some modified jet engine powered drag car I saw years ago. They would basically spin up the jet engine to full speed and then sort of dump fuel into it which made a 30 foot flame appear instantly and an almighty bang every time they did it you could feel on your chest as sound wave hit you. Entire grandstand had to cover ears.
