Its the same as it always is, loud and clear

Does it get easier Jake? I'm nearly one month into this. Saw you couldn't sleep. I can't either.

Just tested them on a old hard hat, they do they're job like a mofo. I should be golden.

@Foncky, the fourth of July to me is the same to Christmas for a kid. Before I could go with no worries, enjoy it fully. Now there's always that what if. I went because I will not have t run my life, but it's not the same now as it was before.

All right. Be careful and don't stay near if you feel uncomfortable, but if you feel ok to go, you should be ok.

It was last night, I plugged my ears for grand finale. Kind of like when you told t and h to piss off, I'm riding my mountain bike today. We can't let it run our lives but be careful at the same time. I know you have bad h so it's more complicated for you.

One of the most beautiful, soothing songs ever created. Loved it in Hackers and MK film... on its own... just bliss.

Why couldn't you utilese a chainsaw with -37 dB? I am pretty sure a chainsaw is not louder than 120 dB, right? Where did you buy these?

i have those muffs - this product is a lie ! those don't 37 USA NRR, its the same rebadged cheap Chinese made product inferior to the peltor x5a in both true nrr and comfort, but cheaper

Alue, I don't know but that's what they said they are? Jurgen, I got them off amazon. Bobby B, how do they compare to the peltor?

I agree all the way, it is absolutely ridiculous. Hopefully we'll get to were we don't care about if that's even possible.

I don't worry about it. I pay someone to do it ;)

I even thought about that, but I have to feel somewhat like a normal human being. I can't believe that we go through this shit.

Custom moulded imo

It is; but got to push on to the next day. T sucks, but positivity is key. Enjoy the beers Jake.

I'm running out of things to be positive about. I couldn't even sit in my living room with my family to watch a movie it is that loud.

I know how you feel man, trust me, my T is multi-tone, both ears and head, and now pressure in right ear. But I know God has a plan for me yet; stay strong and do what you got to do to get thru each day until better days come along again. All the best.

I'm gonna try 6mg melatonin with no beer, maybe one beer. Will be last one for awhile.

Time will also help. After my massive spike in December I was awake for 6-7 hours at night the first weeks. Now it's reduced to 1-2 hours.

Ambien.

yup

I take my pill an hour before bed, then 30 mins of mediation (Head space, or Stop breath - apps on my phone) then i normally go off easily and always wake up at 3am for a pee, and sometimes Im awake for 20 mins but no longer. Im planning to stay on these tabs for max 6 months.

Have you seen a specialist about the T?

Yes, I have surgery next Thursday. T is from hearing loss. He's gonna do a tympanomastoidectomy.

You are right, they'll just ignore you and think of it as nothing.

i agree, regular people just doesnt relate to the issues people with some illness face, thats why we have to support each other :)

Yeah it does for most I think. Only temporarily though.

I said the hell with it one nite and had some fun. It got worse. But it was worth it at the time.

try white wine, i get pretty drunk after 3 glasses and it doesnt change my t

I was also thinking about this but I never asked anyone here about it. What I believe (just a guess) is that you listen to a certain sound, use a db meter to find out what db that sound is and whether you can hear your T or whether you cant and then make an estimation of how loud your T is in db? I dont know about kHz though. I would love to know how too.

I have to go for a CT scan tomorrow, I will ask my specialist and let you know what they say. I'm almost scared to find out what it's at.

Keep cool bro.

I did about 2 years ago and it didnt do much for me.

Yes, no change in T. Dont think its any use if yours is noise-induced. But ive heard its helped with causes through meniere's disease.

My T is from hearing loss, cholesteatoma. I'll save myself the money. Thanks for your replies I appreciate it.
