Bill . . . just thought I'd update this thread by letting you know I have some Peltor X5A's arriving tomorrow, on your recommendation. There aren't too many places that sell that model in Australia. Coincidentally . . . turns out one of the places that does, is the company my work gets all of...

Cool . . . good to know. I'll definitely factor that into the final decision. I agree 100%. It's impossible for anyone to relate, if they haven't experienced it themselves. In fact this latest ENT did not ask one, single question about my Tinnitus or my Hyperacusis. It's almost as if he...

Michael . . . thanks for the additional question-answering and advice. Don't worry . . . I haven't been doing anything over the last 6 months to cause undue stress. All my stress is completely 'due'. As far as websites go . . . when my symptoms first presented, obviously I went nuts, looking at...

It appears as though I may have just been misquoted here. A screen-shot of a previous post of mine was attached in this thread, as proof of someone getting spikes from electromagnetic fields. I have never had a spike from an EMF. I have no idea whether EMF's have any effect whatsoever on...

Michael . . . thanks very much for your response. The Audiologist is getting back to me to arrange a time for an appointment. I told him that initially I'm going to have a LOT of questions (regarding hearing tests, frequencies, TRT, available devices etc.) . . . and said that I may very well...

That's what I assumed. Although, I've never actually used 'foam' plugs. I use tapered Silicone ones, which just push straight in. However if carrying muffs around turns out to be the best option . . . that would be a bit of a pain. I really like to 'travel light' when I go for a walk. I know...

Michael . . . this 'renown' ENT I saw earlier in the week, wants me to get an in-ear WNG for my Hyperacusis.. I'm all in favor of this, due to positive outcomes of their use that I've seen on this Forum (especially yours). However, one thing I've never quite understood for 'bad' H, which I...

Seems strange that your drinking or pooping would make your dog stop barking. Still, I guess . . . whatever it takes!

Thanks for the links. This all makes sense. I can understand the MRI thing. Fortunately I didn't get a spike . . . but I had one with double protection as well . . . and it was still really loud.

Yes . . . definitely looks as though this is the way to go.

Wow! Makes me pleased I don't work out . . . or gamble.

Thanks for that. Although I'm kind of married to my existing setup/routine. I just use simple Silicone ear plugs, which are tapered and stepped. Still . . . even though they're only basic . . . it's now second nature for me to be able to manually attenuate them in a split-second. When I'm...

Thanks. I'm with you all the way.

I hear you. Really hope you get over your spike soon. I've only had one spike so far. It lasted 3 weeks . . . and that was long enough.

Me too. And it looks as though I'm going to keep doing that.
