Before covid locked volunteers out of 1 station I do a show at a new board was installed, things were changed and I know of 1 new amp. I have been doing this show for 3 1/2 years, no problems before new equipment.
Immediately after getting into the studio I felt off, my ears started hurting. I wasn't sure of cause at that time and thought maybe a new allergy medication? Was in pain for 4 days.
The next show a week later same thing but worse. I kept adjusting the new amp, sorry no pic but it has volume controls, mono/ stereo........... I was in agony, felt like a 44 round had been fired next to my head, even wet to dr Monday and audiologist Thursday. Permanent damage to right ear from excessive noise, a new thing for me.
I was in touch with engineers, kinda of got in trouble for contacting them myself but station mgr was out of state and nobody believed me, I was trying to get answers. He told me to plug the headphones into another amp. No change.
It has to do with sound and thought it may have been the headphones. Engineer was there last week and put a new amp for headphones, i was optimistic but doubtful. Saturday night as soon as I got there to do my show, 3 hours, my ears felt like I went into a vacuum. I wish they would have invited me to be there, I would have known if it was fixed in 2 minutes.
There is a radio in the hall so you know for sure you're o the air. I had speakers in studio off the whole show, relied on that radio. I had headphones down to a minimum, I could barely hear and i kept them on, it helped with the pain. When I took them off it got worse. One song i played, I do older country shows, folk, etc...... a John Prine song hurt so bad I couldn't even listen.
Did other show yesterday, feeling a little discomfort but did the show I co-host and we cranked the music up, no problems.
The reason I joined this group is to try and get ideas? Has anyone ever experienced anything like this? I am not an alien? Nobody else has the issues I have been having.
THANKS!!
