Sorry for the late reply and I feel the same way as you. I was born and raised here and love my city but since the worsening of my tinnitus and developing mild hyperacusis/reactive tinnitus, I feel like I can never truly relax when I'm outside. I also wear foam ear plugs everywhere I go and have been looking for alternatives to the purple foam ones I wear since its now getting warmer out.
Which ones do you wear? Also which part of NYC do you live in, if you don't mind me asking? I'm on the Upper West Side, pretty loud up here especially in the Spring and Summer. Ha, oh boy.
Hi @starrynights ! I have customs plugs, but mostly use 3M skull screws. They plug me up really well LOL. I too am on the Upper West Side -- near the touristy area of Strawberry Fields, so yeah, it does get noisy over here. I'm constantly on guard. The subway worries me, even with protection. But I can't walk everywhere, and Uber is breaking my bank!
