In reply to:

his advice to TNT to go with MAs was not a statement that they're "better", but better suited for guys with tinnitus apparently.

Hey! I have tinnitus in my right ear. I was once a soundman for a regional country rock band. I must've been a lousy one or I wouldn't have tinnitus.

I'm reasonably good at being able to ignore things over which I have no control. So, with very rare exception, my tinnitus doesn't ever bother me. I've just kinda learned to not pay attention to it, thankfully.
