Hi,
Im a semi professional electric bass guitar player and have had many years experience both in the studio and on the road. I'm here to give you a few tips and some advice on the do's and don'ts and pro's and cons of prefessional and seni-proffesonal gigging and a few other life tips along the way!

It would seem that the years of being a working musician have taken their toll on my hearing. I am often kept from dropping off to sleep by a high pitched ringing in my ears - not normally noticable above the humdrum background noise of the day but very intrusive in the quiet hours of the night. I have found a solution in the form of an electric fan!

It would seem that the years of being a working musician have taken it's toll on my hearing. I am often kept from falling asleep by a high pitched ringing in my ears - not noticable above the humdrum background noise of the day but quite intrusive at night.

I have found that if I use an electric fan (even in winter!!) then the gentle whirring of the motor is just sufficient to override the ringing in my ears as the dominant sound and yet is not too loud to be distracting in itself. Obviously, in the summer having a fan pointing at your head can be very nice but in the winter, all I do is angle it at the wall so I only feel a gentle breeze.

Hope this helps... it works for me!
