I have been wearing an earplug in my bad ear whenever I am outside of my home, and it has worked well for me.

You never know when a door might slam, or a motorcycle might accelerate. Noises can interfere with with our recovery or even cause a spike.

Our ears have been compromised. Noises that a healthy person might not even notice can do a lot of damage for one of us.

You might consider avoiding even moderate noises like that of a vacuum cleaner, blender, and hair dryier.

If you work in a loud environment like a factory, definetly. But if you work in an office space, don't bother wearing plugs. You can wear them in both T and non T ears. If you by chance have hyperacusis, its best to limit earplug usage unless its definitely needed. Use your best judgement on when you should wear them. :)

Most importantly try to keep stress and anxiety down about sound. It makes ones judgement much more clear. Many people who have terrible anxiety because of T and H think everything in the world will hurt them. Which is quite the opposite.

I work in an office environment, and my colleague slammed the door of his office leading to a horrific week-long spike for me. Also, if a fire alarm sounds, you will be glad that you had that ear plug.
