In my case, it was just dancing for a couple hours non-stop at the disco while on mild drugs... It was enough for life-long tinnitus.

On the other hand though, I think it's just biological imperative. Statistically, young men (up to around 25 perhaps) are simply reckless and take stupid risks. They make the best soldiers (less fear for their life), extreme sportsmen etc., but obviously some of them end up dead or disabled.

Not make light of your disability but tinnitus is extremely common and can occur because of regular every day activity. When making risk assessments this one is way down on the list of priorities if it's there at all. For some it's even an occupational hazard that they just have to accept as part of their life, however I doubt most people consider being a musician as one of the more life threatening professions.
