The docuseries will provide a closer look at the most iconic artists and songs that we still listen to 50 years later, including The Rolling Stones, Aretha Franklin, Bob Marley, Marvin Gaye, The Who, Joni Mitchell, Lou Reed, and more, according to Apple.

So set a timer kids and/or let the ear rest for a couple of days as soon as the ears start to feel ”hallow” or ”full”!
I thought I was careful, but obviously not enough. :(
But happy to see this documentary anyway at some stage. :)
Edit:
Forgot to add I also got a low in volume, but high pitched tinnitus. Really devestated about my situation. ?
