@Stacken77 I only didn't because I don't want to overprotect and cause myself sensitivies. :) BUT I will say, since I'm sending out packages frequently I may do it more now. I KNOW. 90? it's TAPE. HOW. I'm shocked that a "soft whisper" is labeled as 30.....

@Shelbylynn Don't worry about "overprotection". We don't have to be exposed to sounds over 80+ dB to have our tolerance under control. If we just spend most of the day without hearing protection indoors, I think we're fine.

No wonder my ears felt sore then after packing some things I sold the other month. :/ And that was with earmuffs.

Coming to your family's ranch next year also.

London on NYE can go f*ck itself.

@Damocles silent tinnitus party

I'll bring the alcohol-free alcohol, and the caffeine free coffee (for me), because don't want to risk a spike...

It's gonna be great!! ヽ(★^O^★)ﾉ

Does is it need to be calibrated?

@buttercake maybe but I don't see the settings to do that etc. But i tested it next to the app i had and it seemed ta least comparable.

Those can help give you some ideas but don't expect them to be very accurate.

@Lurius now I’m going to be scared of infants, never thought I’d see the day

@Steph1710 haha! I think I skipped a chapter
@Wrfortiscue yes I hope so. I thought all noise induced was bound to be unstable or get worse. I’m not sure I completely understand the variety potentials/ outcomes of noise induced t

@Steph1710 your tinnitus sounds like it wants to give you a whole performance. Hope you are well

Hi :D

Hello :-)

Yeah I do speaker now low volume away from me because of this reason

@Wrfortiscue im gonna start doing this now, completing the next step to becoming more like my mother

@Wrfortiscue Oh, I figured out a way to disable the call menu while on an active call so my face doesn't press the speaker button inadvertently anymore. thankfully.

@kingsfan at the bridge. Probably worn. Also It's winter now and i thought maybe the rapid temp change without me tuning etc may have snapped it.

@Lurius Wow! Not only is that loud but that sounds frightening and dangerous. I mean the shattering glass and all

I didn't get up, but in my mind I was like "WTF WAS THAT?!", however at the time I was on olanzapine so I was pretty drugged and even stuff like that wasn't enough to make me do anything. The fire alam, though....that was something else.

I’ve told most of my friends etc, but they always forget, and it’s frustrating when they wanna do something that’s loud and I have to explain again. People will never understand T until they get it.

@LukeYoung one of my closest friends remembers but I’m glad she still invites me to bars etc because it gives me the chance to at least make the decision and feel included, but yes it’s very hard for people to understand until it happens. I warn my friends to protect their hearing

@Wrfortiscue hi, is that something I can take regularly lol, too much stuff happens to me too. Who knew life was so noisy :p

Some say it helps :shrugs:

@Wrfortiscue this is most tinntius related advice lol

@Matchbox i have a BA in psychology :| lol I should go back to school

@Leila thank you :)

@Charburchar youre good! I welcome conversation since we all are in the same boat! So many jobs require headsets or constant noise lol

For real.

@Damocles i always cringed at the clangs even before tinnitus . Makes my skin crawl

It sure does! :/ I cant take walks with ear plugs on or ear muffs.

@TheDanishGirl the walking is the worst part! The second worst is talking.

@Shelbylynn you will probably be fine. Me, well I would never touch it again. It's not something I would recommend using regularly either. Anyway - best of luck! X

Me too @Shelbylynn.

Maybe I should use some.... ( • ⍨ •)

@Damocles apparently it’s really great for skin :)

What side is the spike on, and on what side did you get the Moderna "booster"?

@Damocles different side must have been a fluke, it subsided

@MBH if it makes you feel any better I had the vaccine and it didn’t change my tinntius :) at all. I’m more afraid of the illness. I’ll update if it changes with illness

You're not doomed but Dirk De Ridder told me 106 out of 1000 people with tinnitus gets worsening from covid.

@Lurius decent odds. Maybe I’ll get lucky for once

@Matchbox ya I did. The moderna variety

I have not had covid yet, thankfully! However from everything I have read, it appears some do suffer from tinnitus as a long lasting effect. I don't know if it elevates it in people that already have it though. How have you been? :)

@Guywithapug hmm interesting! May have to research it. I have been good so far thank you! glad to hear you are staying well. :)

yeah @Shelbylynn, very normal.

Might want to consider wearing hearing protection when you're downtown from now on...

@Damocles i definitely will downtown only bc the way it's set up it makes sirens amplified rather than their normal volume

I quit them a few months ago and can tell you that my tinnitus didn’t become louder. It fluctuates as always.

@angelsissi thanks for sharing :) that makes me more comfortable to go ahead and quit, I know it's variable and personal to each persons body. But still helps

@Shelbylynn yeah, I’ve had this from the onset. My T changes with every single movement. I definitely have Etd issues, because I was told by my doctor a while back, before I actually developed T.

It stopped so I'm guessing allergy ENT related. God bodies are so weird

@Steph1710 argh that's frustrating. The only time mine sounded tinny was when I had fluid in my middle ear post ear infection. Nasal rinses and Flonase seem to help my Eustachian a lot. Especially the rinse
