I used to but I don’t now.

I don’t. Overprotection can make your symptoms worse. I wear them when I’m going to be in a environment where it’s going to be loud. My audiologist told me if you have to raise your voice to be heard, you need to have your ear plugs in.

used to, then didn't, now have to again.

@Matchbox how did you lose your hearing at 8khz and how long did it take to come back?

Every time I don't, I end up encountering something loud. Like someone dropping stuff at the store or loud cars driving up beside me on the road.

@kingsfan exactly!

I lost it at 6khz, only left ear where my noise induced loss was originally, only when I laid down on my left side, 30dB drop.
Came back slowly over 5 hours and overnight. T/sound fx got worse in both ears over the days afterwards.
I worked on an idling engine beforehand with earplugs, ...have done that before, louder than this, with the T and no issues.
