    NRR, SNR, HML — Hearing Protection Ratings Demystified?

    In Australia and New Zealand, it's very straightforward; our ear protection is defined by SLC80 (Sound Level Conversion valid for 80 per cent of the wearers). It is the "difference between the measured C-weighted sound pressure level of the workplace noise outside the hearing protector and...

    Dentist Claims Dental Work Cannot Make Tinnitus Worse

    Yeah I will never let them use an ultrasonic scaler on me again. Your profile says you got tinnitus from a slap - did you then go to a dentist and have it worsen?

    Dentist Claims Dental Work Cannot Make Tinnitus Worse

    I got my tinnitus from a new dentist cleaning my wisdom teeth. It wasn't the noise, but the high frequency vibration which only those specific teeth seemed to bone-conduct straight to my cochlear. Unfortunately, I was tinnitus-naive and didn't stop him. Before this incident, I'd been to other...

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    From Neuromod's Phase I study: "The auditory stimulus was spectrally broad (wideband noise) and contained a high rate of temporal events (recording of rainfall) mixed with classical music (recordings of piano works by Erik Satie). The wideband sound stimulates a broad spectrum of auditory...

    OtoBand by Otolith Labs — Head-Mounted Device for Motion Sickness Reduces Tinnitus

    From the inventor of the Ototech/Otolith device, Sam Owen: "Q4: Unfortunately our research to date has shown that it's almost an identical vibration that's therapeutic for VR and motion sickness as well as more serious conditions of the vestibular system. That's why we're not rushing to the...

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    I don't think they were allowed to keep the device. They got 12 weeks of use and then were monitored for 12 months.

    Suggestions for Noise-Cancelling Headphones with a Neckband?

    I don’t know of any NC headphones with a neck band, but you could get earmuffs with a neck band and wear earphones under them.

    Suddenly Can't Hear Any High Frequencies in My Left Ear — Everything Sounds Muffled

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    Or maybe the timings don't actually matter that much, and we can just go listen to tone generators and lick 9 V batteries and save ourselves 2500 EUR :D

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    The only thing that doesn't make sense to me is: If the treatment depends on noises and electrical pulses to the tongue in special timing with each other, why are they using Bluetooth headphones? Bluetooth has a latency of 200-600 ms! And what's one more cord to the headphones when you've...

    Exposed to a Very Loud Noise Through Headphones for 5-10 Seconds

    A lot of people here would recommend you go to an ER and say you have suffered an acoustic trauma to get some some prednisone ASAP.

    Best Sleep Aid for Tinnitus?

    12.5 to 25 mg of Sleep Aid (doxylamine) works great for me. Just have to ask the pharmacist to prescribe it to you.
