Andrew (Specialist Subject Records, Bangers)

SPB: Do any of your musician friends have tinnitus?

Andrew: I've actually had tinnitus for nearly 10 years and I can pin point the source of it to a Shai Hulud show in Newport, Wales. For years it was the bane of my life, now I think I've lost my hearing to the extent that it doesn't bother me. It's probably going to come back to bite me in later life. When I was younger I had some custom ear plugs that were amazing. I highly advise getting some if you would like to continue being able to make conversation in a noisy bar.
