Question 35 // What if the human brain wasn’t designed for modern noise? (feat. Mike Michel)

Mike Michel is a award-winning songwriter, guitarist, and music educator who, in 2013, developed a severe case of tinnitus (auditory cortex inflammation) and hyperacusis (extreme sound sensitivity), which threatened to take away his livelihood and everyday functioning. What’s it like when you're a prolific artist and everyday sounds become excruciatingly painful? What causes tinnitus, hyperacusis and brain gating? What’s Mikes advice for needing more music commerce in the minneapolis music scene? This week, Mike Michel sits down with Rob over drinks to answer these questions and more.

Recording Location: Dogwood Coffee Co, ‘Uptown' Minneapolis MN
