    Tinnitus — Part Deaf After Masturbation?!

    @K-Cbus My hearing losses are sometimes permanent, or sometimes resolve in the next day. It is certainly not a split second thing unfortunately. Neither is the tinnitus. So it is not a normal response. Plus, I masturbated a whole lot more in the past with no problems with my ears or...

    Tinnitus — Part Deaf After Masturbation?!

    So yes, we are all adults here (for the most part), so I feel at liberty to discuss this. So yea basically when I had an orgasm today I had a split second tinnitus spike, followed by a loss of many bass sounds. I was not applying pressure or bearing down, anything like that. This is not the...

    Inserted Earplugs the Wrong Way... Damage?

    @MikeP505 Oh yes, I definitely know to do this. I learned the hard way a very long time ago...stupid me. But will pushing on the earplugs cause inner ear damage in sensitive people? If you don't know the answer that is ok too.

    Inserted Earplugs the Wrong Way... Damage?

    @MikeP505 Makes sense. I know pulling plugs out will definitely give that reaction. But they cause hair cell damage? I thought I was just worrying too much about that originally.

    Inserted Earplugs the Wrong Way... Damage?

    @MikeP505 Thanks for this answer. Yea, I think I will be more careful in the future. I usually insert them the way you described, but one of my earplugs was not made correctly and expanded too quickly to get it into the ear in time. Fortunately, I am graduating to musician's earplugs next...

    Inserted Earplugs the Wrong Way... Damage?

    @Bobby B Because of busy traffic noise, which is dangerous. I already have T so why damage my ears more? So, what are your thoughts to the question I posed?

    Inserted Earplugs the Wrong Way... Damage?

    So I need to wear earplugs for walking in the busy streets of downtown. Anyway, I had a foam earplug that was a bit fussy and kept inflating too quickly when I tried to put it in my ear canal. When a truck came by, I pressed on the back end when the plug was fully inflated in my ear to push it...

    Ear Hurts from a Cough-Pressure Injury?

    I hate coughing because every time I get a T spike from the noise. So I decided to cough into a blanket. Pretty harmless, right? Just an average cough from a tickle in my throat (not sick). Well at some point during the coughing I suddenly felt my eardrum bulge out! Now my ear is in pain...

    Tinnitus Spike from MRI — Permanent?

    So yesterday I went in for a routine MRI to look at my neck for a possible compression of one of the nerves in there. I've always been terrified of loud MRI's, but the previous two I had caused no hearing damage or T spikes whatsoever, and they were done just last spring. This time I wore the...

    Altitude Change

    @linearb Have you had a similar experience, like when wearing earplugs while flying airplanes or driving over mountains and doing something to equalize? Earplugs will cause a pressure gradient by themselves (+ pressure onto the eardrum from the outside), but combine that with altitude...

    Altitude Change

    I always use earplugs when going on long drives on freeways, without any problems even w. altitude changes and the like. Today though I was unlucky. I was driving up and down over a hill with foam earplugs fitted tightly in my ears (because on a loud freeway all day), and I guess the pressure...
