I wonder how long it will be until this is considered an epidemic. Until actual safety standards and such will change.

This is why people need to be more aware of the harm of noise exposure. Instead of saying loud noises cause hearing loss they also need to talk about tinnitus and hyperacusis being permanent if they continue to expose their ears to loud noises without earplugs and earmuffs.

Yup, just shows how the modern world is way too loud. If I knew about T, I would have never abused my ears for years. I knew loud music could damage hearing - never knew it could give you a relentless screeching sound.

@Steph1710 this is why advocates need to tell people that loud noise exposure causes permanent ringing and hyperacusis like how smoking causes cancer or not wearing sunblock can cause skin cancer.

@Lucifer My father had tinnitus for a decade before I got it and never told me. But he told me when he had high blood pressure, knee problems, and a silent heart attack. Makes no sense to me really that he didn’t think the tinnitus was pertinent information. Now I have T, H and TTTS and it’s ruined my life. But hey I don’t have high blood pressure because I made sure and kept that under control.
