Yea, i have been trying to find a meter that is more accurate than my phone. Do you have an suggestions?

Yes, i always make sure to wiggle and twist as i remove plugs.

Hey all, the ear planes did the trick. Blocked out most of the road noise and kept my ears from getting overly sensitive. Thanks for all of the help guys.

I decided to pick up a pair of ear planes for the drive tommorow and the following day. Will check in after and let everyone know how it went.

Hey, so a recap for others who are interested. Epcot was great, pretty quiet and felt comfortable without earplugs even on most of the rides there. Animal kingdom was somewhat the same, but some rides and tours required earplugs half inserted into my ears. Magic kingdom was by far the...

Hmmm, very interesting. Yea, i have been using my phone for most readings and after seing that video, will be picking up a real sound meter.

Hmm, so the loud road noise should not have any negative efferct on the T? Just sounds weird being it is known that sounds above 80db can be detrimental to your hearing. The drive will be 2 days 8 hours each. Thanks for the quick reply valentin.

Just as an update, the musement park was actually pretty quiet so i did not use any earplugs While walking around and partially inserted plugs when on louder rides. Also, the strange sound has since stopped and i can open chip bags again haha. Still trying to figure out what my best option...

Haha very good advice. I will deffinitely bring both types i normaly carry along with the cotton. I have rhe orange super leights and macks super softs. Will figure it out tommorow when i am there. Thanks for calming me down guys, seems like the strange noise is just about gone at this point...

Thanks Johno, i will give the cotton balls a shot. If it still seems too loud i will go with the soft mack plugs i have.

Hey guys, any input as to what i should do tommorow at the parks? Think its a good idea to wearplugs all day? Would really appreciate some advise. Thanks.

The craziest part is, my T is actually down right now. But this other sound is what is really bothering me. Also, i will be going to disney the next few days. What do you guys suggest as far as ear plug use?

Hey, thanks for the quick responses. I do not think it is hyperacusis as there is no pain or migranes that are commonly linked. Most of the sounds are fine, but a sound such as a chip bag, has a weird sound they never did before. I havE been limiting use of ear plugs but my sound meter said 90db.

Hey all, I have been looking through the forum for a little while now and finally decided to join and post. I have had tinnitus since early january of this year. The furst month was rough but i started learning about it and finally got it to a point where it didnt bother me. All was great...
