We mainly play clubs and there is always some bloody issue or other. I do not like them.

That was cracking. Glad your brother is back up to gigging strength. -
It’s the difference in tone that I use to decide what songs to use each technique on.

I always wear hearing protection when playing live. However, even though I have a range of shapes and sizes, including moulded custom ones, they’re never really comfy, or just block out too much (-9db on the customs, still woolly ).

That’s how you do a bass solo, holding the groove, whilst stretching out a bit. 👏👏👏

Yep, same here. The washing machine too. The microwave is fine, however, although it is pretty aggressive by comparison.

You can have both, I do. The hyperacusis is more recent (in the last 10 years). Fortunately, there is some form of treatment for it that involves listening to faint, white noise for short periods of time (mine in through my hearing aids), it’s still a new area apparently. However, this can trigger my tinnitus to be louder. 😤

REFIN!

This, for sure. I wear my hearing aids pretty much just for watching TV or if I'm out with others and want their speech to be clearer. I don't wear them all the time as things like wind and general noises can be quite pronounced (despite filter settings) and make my tinnitus and hyperacusis worse. Again, very true.

I’ve had it for decades and it has become worse recently, despite protection.

Myth. Someone with bat like hearing will claim that they can hear a difference, but I call shenanigans. Your bass, your decision. As long as it’s played and not kept in a case, it fulfills its purpose. Yes, yes it would.

This, except mine is more instruments that don’t get used get sold. My Rob Allen is currently very much underused and is looking shaky in terms of its residency at chez Ez. My only gig these days doesn’t really call for a number of my basses, but I still take out my custom Maruszczyk as my number one.
