Thanks for all of your input. When you say the volume is low for the notification, do you know how low? Did it just match the volume of things it was set to? I can't really test out this low battery indication in the story. The headphones are always charged and I cannot sit with the headphones...

I have AirPods Pros. They are great for most everything, but if you connect them to a Windows PC and the battery goes low, the beep is INSANELY LOUD. Like dangerously so, not just paranoid levels. Like you could literally hurt your hearing if it happens enough times in a row. This is non issue...

These look literally perfect, except it is not clear how much decibel protection they actually provide. I checked their FAQ and they said it is made for consumer use only, and not industrial protection regulated by OSHA. Is there anything like that that also provides hearing protection? Those...

So, basically, I am just looking for a device that does two things. One, it acts like an earplug that turns down surrounding noise decibels by at least 29 dB (but hopefully 32 dB if possible). This is something achieved by most foam ear plugs. However, what those foam ear plugs DON'T do is have...

So, I took the Pfizer second vaccine yesterday and got a spike last night. I already have loud tinnitus and some hearing loss before this. So this is a big concern to me. What actions should one take if a spike from a COVID-19 vaccine occurs? Especially given the time sensitivity of getting...

So I have looked up a few, but not much has really clicked and doesn’t really address this unique situation. It usually addresses being assertive with normal stuff. Like how do you be assertive with this specific thing without feeling uncomfortable or weird and still do it?

Does someone mind answering my follow up questions? I genuinely don’t know how to handle those questions. Here is the follow up: Overall, I just need some strategy to get over not caring what these people think anymore. I realize people are saying just do it. But I need some mental strategy...

Thanks for the answers. First, I would say that it was a necessary thing that I needed to use earplugs in that situation. I’m sitting here just hoping no damage has been done and waiting to hear if I have problems. Frankly it’s terrifying sitting here hoping nothing happens and hoping it doesn’t...

So, basically, I keep coming into situations with strangers where they are being loud and could hurt my hearing. Examples could be when I'm getting a haircut and the barber is talking loud near my head and I just have to sit there uncomfortably and take it. How do I defend myself in these...

So, I recently changed to a new field with software engineering. Specifically web dev. It is a better field than before, but the issue is that since I don't have a lot of experience, I want to make a good impression with my company. I've been in my job a little under a year now. However, I have...

The issue though too is one guy in the office starts a lot of his sentences yelling. Like it gets up to 80db I’m pretty sure if not louder. I can’t tell them to talk different. It’s like a weird way that he talks. Also people may need to sit behind me and talk to me behind me and may talk loud...

So, I have had tinnitus for a while (years), and it is loud. But recently moved into a new career industry related to technology. The issue with my job is a few things. One, is many times they like to go out to eat at restaurants for team lunches. Most restaurants are loud (but ok with earplugs)...

@linearb , unfortunetly that won’t work. If you look at the ends, there is only two lines. You need three to be a headset and mic connection. If you have one that has the three lines though, that may solve the issue. The key though is that it would need to turn down the volume of the sound...

So I currently use a headset at work. We are required to use Microsoft Teams. The problem with Teams is that is liked to turn up the volume to a preset volume every time a call occurs and every time someone joins a call. Making this horrible in my situation. If it didn’t do this I would be...

Well they did a lower dose than what I usually get. So what now, go to another doctor and ask for further help? I’m so lost. Call in again and ask for further help? I’m very concerned.
