I just realised this morning...my ears not ringing as much as usual. I have tinnitus...it's permanent...and I have no idea why it started. Ear plugs and acoustic shield helped to protect them...but the damage has been done. The stage set up yesterday was in a long back line, with drums in middle. Ok I was next to drummer, but respectfully reminded him, that the shiny round thing was my head...and not a cymbal. I think if I did a survey of all trombone players in swing bands, that are over 40...then the majority, would have some sort of hearing damage. I only use mine...when someone asks if it's my round..
