@timsmith, were you not wearing earplugs when next to traffic?

@Regis, your 2) "Wind noise reduction headphones" are EARMUFFS, not headphones. Please read this if you are unsure of the difference.

@Ralphie, same question, do you think earplugs and earmuffs would help reduce the chances of tinnitus spikes in those settings you frequent?

@Strife_84, do you think it would have helped if you had worn both earplugs and earmuffs during your visit to the bar and club?

There is definitely an irony here. I thought you were leading up to encouraging the original poster (the psychiatrist) to tell others in their profession that the standard treatments are not only unsuitable but also patronizing. As it turns out, you have essentially asked them to take a dose...

Who?

If your tinnitus continually changes, won't that make it more difficult for the brain to habituate and ignore it?

Some users have reported that their tinnitus worsens when using the ANC mode on ANC headphones. This issue has been debated in another thread. Essentially, if you see the term “phones,” it indicates that the device produces noise, so caution should be exercised. From a technical perspective...

I have often read on this forum where people use these two words almost interchangeably, as if they refer to the same thing. For complete clarity, I will explain the difference: Headphones contain small loudspeakers and are used for private listening to audio, such as music. Some believe that...

Just one post, proving that they ‘were’ a tinnitus sufferer at some point in the past would be enough to ‘determine their legitimacy.’ A success story without ‘some’ evidence of the success is essentially contradictory.

You'd do well to researc it and learn. You can't hear external sounds AT ALL with earplugs in? This is a most irresponsible act of ignorance, considering the damage the original poster has suffered and what others have experienced from bone conduction due to "air soundwaves." Consider...

Harsh lesson, but well learned. Let others learn from this experience.

This is a typical response from someone writing a success story. It does not say anything specific about the tinnitus. Let me put it to you directly, without any of the “got better,” “not thinking about it,” or “mentally better” talk: Do you still hear your tinnitus? (Yes or no will suffice.)...

Stop doing the HBOT.

Do you mean earmuffs? More uncomfortable than the tinnitus and hyperacusis? If you are more concerned about looking discreet than about worsening your tinnitus and hyperacusis, then you are in a relatively good state. My advice is to wear earplugs AND Peltor earmuffs during the journey to...
