Are people with tinnitus affected by loud noise differently then people without it? To me it's like a constant reminder that I've damaged my hearing when you hear the constant ringing afterwards. I was in a bar the other night with a buddy and I was trying to get him to understand that hey we can go outside and pickup the food in 10 minutes instead of sitting hear going def. He kept misunderstanding, so it felt like my right ear was going to explode from the awful sound for 20 minutes. I swear those speakers were all treble and no bass. I guess if you don't have to listen to the constant ringing for days afterward, a person probably wouldn't have any complaints. I pretty much always have hearing protection on in loud environments, so it just kills me when I don't have it. At one point I went almost 2 years without being exposed to loud noise and my hearing was awesome, along with my tinnitus virtually disappearing. Until I went to see this one movie with a ton of guns in it, it went downhill from there.
