Firstly i would like to say that you are the most gifted player/composer i have ever listened to....
I recently developed tinnitus from years of abusing my hearing... How is your hearing?
Do you wear ear protection while gigging and playing clinics ?

I'm terribly sorry to hear about your tinnitus. My friend has it so I know a little about it. I use earplugs in airplanes and when I go to other people's gigs. On tour I use ear monitors which help a lot. Clinics I do 'bareback' and pay the price the next day when I'm trying to listen closely to a mix or something. Best of luck to you, I know there is new technology on the way for tinnitus.
