Jody Wisternoff on tinnitus:
“It was after a gig in Slovenia during the summer of ’06. I DJed at an outdoor party and I distinctly remember removing a piece of gaffer tape that was stopping the master level going any higher. I took it off and boosted the level to the max because I was playing really quiet, un-mastered track that needed some extra power. After that I just left it up and forgot about it, such was my drunken state. The monitors must have been blasting extra loud, not to mention the PA. I went straight to an afterhours club and played another set, where I stayed until the early morning. When I left, I remember thinking my ears were ringing more than usual, but didn’t really care because this was normal after a gig and the ringing always stopped the next day. When I woke the next afternoon I could still hear the ringing, but still assumed it would soon pass, however, the next day it was still there. And the next day… By this stage I was starting to get a little anxious and I was beginning to pay a lot of attention to the sound in my head.”
