    Hammer Hitting Metal Decibel?

    K, I'll look around. Maybe a drone case would work too. Probably should've went with the X3A or X4A lol.

    Hammer Hitting Metal Decibel?

    Received my X5A and they're great. You mentioned you carry muffs everywhere you go, but how do you transport them? I wanna bring mine to my volunteering.

    Hammer Hitting Metal Decibel?

    Thanks guys, my ears seem to have mostly recovered today. Hopefully I was exposed for under 8 seconds.

    Yeah, I'm looking to get the X5A, although it seems a bit bulky.

    Hammer Hitting Metal Decibel?

    If I don't recover tomorrow I will do so. But at the same time I don't want to sound like a little bitch who whines about trivial things. I do think his hammer constitutes hazardous sound tho, especially how he continued hammering intermittently for 1 hours.

    Hammer Hitting Metal Decibel?

    So I'm volunteering at an engineering summer camp (for kids) and our stupid instructor decided to hammer sheet metal with all his might, maybe 5 meters away from me. I was helping someone so I couldn't plug my ears and I heard it for 20 to 25 seconds without protection. Then I inserted my 33...

My right earplug's antenna is too short so it's hard to pull out. I've just attached a red string to it to make it easier to pull, but it still makes noise. Any...

    Loud Sound from Removing Earplug Causing Damage?

    My nails were too short and I had difficulty removing a custom molded earplug in my right ear. While I was fumbling with the earplug in my right ear, it made a lot of loud noises for maybe 5 seconds, and now my hearing in that ear is noticeably reduced. When I talk I can only hear my voice in...

    Symptoms of Eardrum Rupture?

    I was hit on the ear by an arm (not too hard) and now that ear is feeling a bit full. No noticeable hearing loss yet, and no pain. Is it possible for an eardrum to rupture without any symptoms? Will I know for certain if I ruptured it?

    What Does an Acoustic Reflex Test Sound Like?

    Do you remember what kind of sound they played? Was it a single pure tone in each ear?

    What Does an Acoustic Reflex Test Sound Like?

    Hi, I did a hearing test and I'd like to know what the audiologist performed after the tympanometry test. An earbud-like thing was placed in my ear and it emitted very strange wavering sci-fi sounds in various frequencies. Sounded something like this My question is, what kind of a test is...
