People fear monger here a lot. If one or two people have a bad experience, then everyone become terrified that everyone will. Take what you read here with a grain of salt.

Using your logic, it's ok to smoke (as the majority of smokers never experience any health problems due to smoking), and it's ok to exceed the speed limit by 20 miles per hour (as the vast majority of people who do so end up being ok).

Also the vast majority of those who don't exercise and don't have a healthy diet don't notice any problems for decades. So all of those doctors talking about healthy lifestyle are just fear mongering. Right?

@HeavyMantra what was the cause of your permanent increase??

Pretty sure it was singing with in-ear monitors (earbuds that are completely sealed like earplugs) for many hours during two days. If not that, it was psilocybin mushrooms

I use AirPods nearly everyday but never push the volume past 50%, which according to the iOS health app is around 60db. Haven’t experienced any problems using that volume level all the time.

How did this develop?

From the built up pressure from the cold. It finally went away, except sometimes it’s there a bit in the morning and then goes away. So something to do with my Eustachian tube? Either way it’s mostly resolved.

Have you tried using earplugs in a quiet room? Is it the case that you still can't hear your T?

Gives me hope

I don’t ever do that. If I give it that level of attention to where I’m listening for the tiniest internal noise, it gets worse. I still plug my ears to check sometimes but I find the less I do that, the less often it spikes.

That’s great! When did it start improving?

I started noticing something different around 5 days ago. It just seems way less... reactive. Still have baseline static going up and down but the high-pitched aspect was what was reactive. It’s been mostly gone now.

Sad to see... Havent been for a while but always seemed like such a safe place!
