Seen Ted Nugent in the old Chicago Stadium in 78. Between Ted's stacks and people throwing M-80's off the balcony, My ears rang for days and I had skid marks in my Haines.
I'm 17, and in 7th grade I got a horrible ear infection, which damaged my hearing and threw off the pressure in my ears, leaving me with ringing in my ears. I got a hearing test, and was told I lost 15-20% of my hearing. Fast forward a couple of years, something really weird happened and my hearing came completely back really fast all of a sudden and now my ears are super sensitive. Only within the past 6 months the ringing has gone away. My ENT was really shocked at this, saying my hearing is now very much above average. People tell me to crank up my amp but it just hurts my ears, so now I carry ear plugs wherever I go to protect them if I ever need to. Something that's really interesting about this ear infection is now my ears don't pop on the airplane, they aren't bothered at all. Protect your hearing people!
I've got very sensitive ears aswell, last time I went to a Steve Vai gig (without earplugs) my ears rang for 2 days. Worth it but I see that taking care of them is better in the long term.
Same happened to me in the 8th grade. I ended up with 25% in one ear and north of 30% in the other. I had terrible ringing and crap all the time. Now, a few years ago it drastically improved. I can hear lightbulbs, electrical outlets buzzing and other small things people try like hell to hear but can't. They thought I was crazy but I've used a quiet room and super sensitive mics to record the sounds and amplify them to show people. I have the most incredible hearing ever and I baby that. Never again will I abuse my ears. Ear plugs all the way!
I'm a shit guitar player and just two afternoon jams has given me bad tinnitus which has sort of ruined my life. Keeping earplugs with your electric guitar is vital. Not enough warning about hearing loss and ear damage is given.
Dear Steve Vai Fan. He's been doing that since forever, it's part of him, and if you listen close enough you'll realize he doesn't want adoration, but for us to listen. That's why we love him!!!
"If you wanna continue playing music, you should protect your ears more than you protect your testicles." - Steve Vai. From some guitar magazine circa 2003.
I'm 58 now .. constant ringing (Tinnitus) now for 8 months, and also now have hyperacusis (sound sensitivity) which makes things like clanging dishes and microwave oven doors slamming hurt. I was a career keyboard player in the 80's doing mostly covers, and a music store salesman in the 90's. Never did it dawn on me that some 29 years later I'd come down with this from all the noise. Young guys .. plug your ears now! Even if you don't think its that loud wear something!
@@DonHalli thankfully I’m starting early I have ringing in my left ear only but very high pitched sounds makes my ears super sensitive it’s sort of feels like it hurts but with no pain. The only thing is I’ll have to learn how to sing with them on but it’s a small hurdle for a big reward later on.
I saw Vai in Whitesnake and David Lee Roth, it was so damn loud my ears were ringing for hours after each show. At IHOP after the Whitesnake concert the Manager told us were screaming to each other and people were complaining.
Thank you for this message-as a musician in my 50s and learn the hard way about protecting hearing. Everyone needs to listen carefully to this, your ears or damaged long before you think you are being affected. Many concerts, gigs and other musical situations are loud enough to cause damage. Be smart use these type of products!!
My left ear has been ringing since 1979. I climbed out of the front row and stood beside Ian Gillan, put my arm round his shoulders and helped sing Woman from Tokyo. The venue was a small pub (bar) called the Fforde Grene in Harehills, Leeds. My first ever concert, I was 19.
obviously Patrick. He introduced you once when you made him "blank" on stage. That great moment always be a LOL moment for me. both of you are great player with great personality.
I saw Steve with David Lee Roth in 1988 and it was deafening. My ears rang for 2 days after!! I never go to any concert now without ear protection. Great video Steve!!
Protect it or lose it. That's what I was told as a young trapshooter & it's carried into guitar playing & concert going. Excellent testimonial that more people should heed.
I've been wearing ear plugs to gigs since my early 20s and I am now in my mid 40s. Back in the early days I used to get some funny looks from people, but these days it is far more common to see people wearing them. For many years I have made sure I wear ear plugs for many things, e.g. when using power tools or using a lawn mower, or while vacuuming the house. Steve is giving great advice here and people should listen and use it well.
In 1991 this guy said to me "I judge how good a gig is by how much my ears bleed!" - He gave up music due to hearing loss. Wearing ear plugs lets you hear soooo much more but carry them with you - great for cutting out that annoying idiot on their phone when you read a book or have to think.
About 25 years ago I saw the Steve Morse Band. I was standing directly in front of the stage and Steves guitar was incredibly loud. I was ripping tissues to stuff them in my ears. Otherwise I would have been deaf afterwards! But not only guitars are a problem: microphone feedbacks, which sometimes come out of the blue are a nightmare. Or drums: loud cymbals can make you crawl! Therefore I recommend to protect your ears all the time while you play music in a band, whether on stage or at a rehearsal. Eddie Van Halen once said: When I stand in front of my Marhall Stacks I like my hair moving, but only on my forearms, not on my head.
Tinnitus sucks. I have it and I regret not wearing plugs all the years I've jammed in cramped basements with terrible acoustics. Also being a shooter, guitar player and racing lover didn't help either. Going to pick these up.
Paul Gilbert is a big proponent of hearing protection as well. I used a pair of earplugs at one of Vai's concerts recently (not Hearos, but similar), and though it was awkward at first, I quickly got used to it. Now, I'll always have a pair of them at louder concerts!
Just look how many famous rock musicians have hearing issues,like tinnitus or hearing loss,due to the years of playing at loud volumes,Pete Townsend,Paul Gilbert,EVH,Myles Kennedy,Brian Johnson etc. etc. Don't be an idiot,use ear protection.
After every gig my ears used to ring for hours. Sometimes till the next morning. Nobody told me about ear plugs. I now have tinnitus and about 6db loss at 4K. I had a 100W Marshall cranked to cone popping levels. Some things I don't regret. Some things I do.
David and Steve blew my ears out in Oakland... I thought the show was just ridiculously and unnecessarily loud. I was halfway back and I couldn't even hear Steve's playing in the amount of noise in the place. I guess the crew all had earplugs in and thought it was fine.
oh really okay then yeah thats a qoute haha. Im sure ive heard of ice pickyness in other cases though. But I do remember vai saying it in other videos like when he talks about putting distortions in effects loops
Luckily, ear plugs have been a constant part of my guitar and concert life for over 25 years now. I've seen far, far too many guys/guitarists over the years say they think ear plugs are for wimps and wusses. Those same guys ALL now suffer from permanent damage to their hearing. Hearos makes a great product, as do many other companies. Listen to Vai - he is spot on about wearing ear plugs. Do NOT use the cheap foamies - spend the whopping $20 or $30 and buy the good ones.
Dated March 28th - I was at the Satch/Vai concert in South Carolina and it was LOUD! I ended up seeing this video after the concert cause my ears were in pain I wanted to take caution for the future. Joe and Vai have been doing this for years and their ear health couldn't be good without earplugs! For anyone watching and plan to go to a rock concert please use earplugs!
Kenneth Kaltenbach- totally agree. I've seen Vai three times and always got up front in the middle and it was great. Once I was toward the side in front of the speaker and my right ear rang for three days. I swore I'd never see him again. Too freaking loud for such a small venue.
This explains why the Vai gig at Newcastle City Hall on the Sex & Religion tour was the loudest gig I've ever been to - crazy loud!!!! Steve had earplugs, so the amps get turned up even louder 😜 He's the only guitarist I've ever seen with a half-stack as a wedge monitor.
Hearos are awesome. You can bring the volume down and still hear all the music. They don’t muffle or distort the sound they simply reduce the impact of the volume.
I bought a nice pair of Hearos a few years back because I had tickets to a Lamb Of God show and a good friend told me that was the absolute loudest band out of hundreds of death/thrash/speed metal bands that he'd seen live. The show got cancelled so I wear them when I'm on my motorcycle.
Erwin, that is correct. I was over exposed to loud PA systems with unpleasant frequencies back in the 90s & 00s, and the damage has manifested only this decade.
hopefully you recover. I think I got from playing in front of my amp for a couple years amd going to front row concerts and hearing drums so damm close. alot of my friend crank their music and I always lower it and they don't believe it's bad until they get it. my cousin has it and he still cranks it loud as balls but i know he knows that's not a good idea. I try not to play loud just enough to hear it.
Erwin, you are still young with time on your side bro. I heard all the horror stories about "concert noise" damaging people's hearing in my 20s during the 90s, but ignored them; i'm paying the price now. Not so much the drums that might be effecting you, more so the symbols which give off a high-end frequencies when they are crashed. If you are still going to crank up your amp, try taking those toppy DBs out perhaps?
I'm a drummer and have been for 40 years. I now have tinnitus from Way too many gigs. I had a choice. Stop being lazy about earplugs, or give up the music industry. Not drumming for me would be like not breathing. If you're young, Wear Ear Protection. It's no frigging joke. My ringing is 24/7 and there is Nothing you can take, or do about it. I now wear ear protection on stage, or at a Baseball game. It will save you from losing hearing you will never get back. I thought is was a joke too when I was in my 20's and 30's. Not so funny now.
As someone who has tinnitus since I was 19, now 33 from one concert I went to, please protect your hearing, people might give you shit but oh well you'll be able to hear and they won't
Skeet shooting really well good for you and sorry you didn't use hearing protection. As a shooter who has a wife that plays its very important to protect your hearing I'm well into my 50's and unfortunately I have used firearms without hearing protection and the worst was when I was in the military I worked on helicopters and was young and dumb and didn't use hearing protection and let me tell you when your head is in the engine compartment of a running helicopter it's really loud and for years this went on so yes to all young people do what they say wear hearing protection it will help you later in life..
You're quite a technician Steve, but I seriously doubt even you could play guitar with your elbow in your ear... though I'd kind of like to see you try. ;)
Always found clubs and concerts to be extremely loud, i now prefer a classical concert, at least you can hear what is intended not a slam in the chest and ear ringing for days. Why do it have to be this way? its extremely short sighted.
Wow, your elbow? You don’t say..... And I thought I was flexible...... :-) Lolol i literally lifted my elbow to my ear to see if that was even remotely possible.... joke’s on me!
I love EarPeace's earplugs! Compared to Hearos musicians' earplugs. EarPeace's proprietary design plugs are 2 flange which makes sure that they don't go too deep into the ear. Our plugs are made of medical grade hypoallergenic silicone. EarPeace also have a knob at the end of the tab for easy removal. Our EarPeace come in a premium aluminum 2 compartment case with a 3rd spare plug. In terms of sound performance, ours come with 3 sets of interchangeable filters ((11, 14 & 19 db NRR) that you can change according to your preference. Therefore the EarPeace filters are removable so you can hand clean the silicone part with warm water and soap when need be. On the other hand, Hearos musicians' earplugs have a plastic stem filter that sticks out and you can't remove it to properly clean them. www.earpeace.com/
This should be the Most important MUSIC LESSON EVER!!! It should be the First Music lesson and should be repeated every time before music class, Rehearsal,live concert performance and studio engineering. It completely shocks me that Music Teachers and Pro musicians don't practice and Mention this important safety practice.
I was always visiting the ENT twice in a week , then one day my doctor introduced me to dr Ogbebor herbal centre TH-cam channel for the medicine for tinnitus , I had to try his medicine out and today I am free from the hissing sound in my ears thanks to dr Ogbebor and my ENT doctor for recommending dr Ogbebor to me🔘
I went to a Judas Priest show in 1986 and my ears are still ringing.
B0yardigi0rn0 My condolences :/
If you think that’s loud, I went to a Motörhead gig.
Seen Ted Nugent in the old Chicago Stadium in 78. Between Ted's stacks and people throwing M-80's off the balcony, My ears rang for days and I had skid marks in my Haines.
I love how it’s more than a product ad.

Nick Murray you might have super powers
Adam Cogan I don't know what kind of super power that is, maybe he could crack a safe.
did you change your diet throughout your life?

Dear Steve Vai: Stop introducing yourself, you're a STAR
Fehu Uruz that's what I am talking about :D
Dear Steve Vai Fan. He's been doing that since forever, it's part of him, and if you listen close enough you'll realize he doesn't want adoration, but for us to listen. That's why we love him!!!
I think it's nice. It makes him sound humble. And he is!
He is humble, and doesn't asume, that makes it even better!

One size fits all
With the HEAROES, can you still get 'the sound' the pure guitar sound and protect ears at the same time?
Man, if it's too loud the sound will be horrible and you will even have hearing loss. Why care to listen to the pure guitar anyway? Sounds shitty af
@Pedro Henrique I'd like to know if the sound I'm hearing with earplugs is relative to what the audience is hearing. The tone may change etc.

Hearing protection is important u lose ur hearing its gone forever
Mine was from a felon neighbor blasting bass noises (
Yeah!!! Vital!!!
An odd thing about this is Vai has some of the loudest concerts of any band.
If it's too loud, maybe IT'S TOO LOUD! And watch out for ear bud's & headphone's. They will really do a number on you.
You're quite a technician Steve, but I seriously doubt even you could play guitar with your elbow in your ear... though I'd kind of like to see you try. ;)
Who doesn't like Steve's work?
HELL YEA
I can hear my playong and may love for music
Loud drumming and being too close to a singer was worse then being near a loud amp. Loud PA gear is what gave me bad tinnitus.
Always found clubs and concerts to be extremely loud, i now prefer a classical concert, at least you can hear what is intended not a slam in the chest and ear ringing for days. Why do it have to be this way? its extremely short sighted.
doesnt matter if i dont like what you do??
😢😢😢really steve
is that what u think😭😭😭😭😭
Wow, your elbow? You don’t say..... And I thought I was flexible...... :-) Lolol i literally lifted my elbow to my ear to see if that was even remotely possible.... joke’s on me!
How silly of me to think they would show the product and how to use it 😢
Hear hear...
At 33 I have -20db at 4khz in my left ear and -15db at 4khz in my right. Music, the machines in the shop and lots of drumming... Yikes.
Making music without protection makes sense because of tone, but anyone who lost hearing from machinery and gunfire are retards
Why can’t musicians just TURN IT DOWN?
yea, when blood starts coming out your ears, time to lower the volume
I can’t hear a above 16000
