    Ear Defender Recommendations?

    Hi everyone, Can anybody please recommend a pair of ear defenders please? I am going to an outdoor music event and want to be properly protected. Can I wear ear plugs with them? I am new to all of this! Thanks in advance :)

    Ok thank you. Does it usually stay the same volume throughout or will it get quieter/louder?

    Thanks for your replies and your suggestions Billie. I haven't worked out what has caused my t, I think it is linked to my jaw/neck problems.

    Do I Have a TMD/TMJ Problem?

    Do I Have a TMD/TMJ Problem?

    Hello Steve thanks for your reply. The jaw pain started a week before the tinnitus. I can't alter the tinnitus and it doesn't rise and fall or coincide with my heartbeat. This is all new to me so not sure what you mean by classic pulsatile tinnitus. Thank you
