Hey Zigs. I'm a year in with it and while it's still around, I've gotten more used to it. I can still hear it in music but with everything else it's less noticeable than before.

So frustrating! Sorry you have to go through this. My area is due for some major construction soon too, so really not looking forward to that. Will have to stay somewhere else :/

@TheCapybara Ja hoor! Dank voor het vragen. Tinnitus is behapbaar en hyperacusis is compleet verdwenen. De tijd heelt alle wonden, zo blijkt:) Woon alleen in een druk deel van de binnenstad in Den Haag, dus ik probeer zo voorzichtig mogelijk te zijn (o.a. buiten oordopjes dragen). Voorlopig zit het wel mee;)

@MadeleineHope Stay safe Madeleine!

No problem! I hope they're the right ones for you. I dont think I've noticed any static no, nothing weird unless it's distortions.

Great to hear. I saw someone post about the speakers giving a static type of noise that can be harsh on the ears so i was a bit worried. Either way ill see it when they come in.

The speakers are amazing bro thx for the recomendation. Do you use an external Dac in combination with it?

thats probably transient tinnitus

Always freaks me out when it goes up but it doesn't seem to be harmful.

thats understandable. unfortunately we dont know when spikes are long term or even permanent. From what i know it isnt harmfull and even people withouth T have it

Let me guess you put on hearing protection and when you think they are done and want to take it off they start drilling immediately. It sucks that the walls here in the netherlands block almost no sound.

It was real sudden so I didn't have much time to react but I just covered my ears real fast lol. And it's true, the walls here are paper thin. You can easily hear anything that goes on outside too.

I hope you didnt get any damage from it. Im looking forward to the summer but summer time also means alot of my neighbors wil be playing songs in their backyard.

I wouldnt risk it Capy but the temptation sure is real. I am starting to tolerate more artificial audio. So im thinking about getting the edifier bookshelfspeakers you reccomended. You meant these right? https://www.coolblue.nl/product/563688/edifier-studio-r1280t-2-0-pc-speaker-per-paar.html

@Jsm_Joestar I know the feeling, but since I can still hear distortions through speakers, I'd rather not hear them directly in my ear through headphones lol. The ones I got are these, pretty similar. https://www.wifimedia.eu/nl/edifier-1280db.html?id=140351477

Been using these for a few months, and they're pretty good.

@TheCapybara Yea if speakers cause some distortions then headphones are def a no go. I would even go as far as saying to avoid them when speakers dont cause distortions anymore.

Had the distortions improved? And in what way?

@Jackson Brady I'd hear it less over voices on tv, and I had less whistling tones over things but it kind of came back recently. I'll just have to wait it out again.

@ashcash Hope you're pulling through alright Ash, that's a lot of noise to deal with.

@TheCapybara
The waiting game really sucks, i also am going through a very bad set back right now, hoping to recover to previous level.

Hope it goes well! ❤️

i also having distortions. 2 Months in. I hope, this helps you. I have it over every sound. electric hizz. Will stuck into my brain, when i have a "normal" day. (like going to work, lot of noises etc.)

I have these same distortions too! I'm still very sad but it's nice to hear I'm not alone and that it can become better!

I have the same thing as you guys. 2 weeks in. Had my T for 5y but this is super annoying. It's hard to find people that had it for a long time. I also don't know what to expect.

Protection. Double up if need be. As long as we don't use it as much in our own home, it's fine.

I did mean at home actually. Unfortunately we have pretty thin walls over here and loud sounds easily go through.
