Yesterday I was exposed to about 3 - 4 minutes of on and off chainsaw noise. It came from one of my neighbors. The source was placed "behind me" so to say. My house has no windows facing that direction. I was sitting in my bed with my Peltor X5A earmuffs on, because you never know what happens...

I am afraid of going outside, or more precisely, of the loud expected and unexpected noises that await outside. I think I am one of the bad cases of tinnitus, or at least a bad case of phonophobia. I don't feel pain from sounds per say, but my tinnitus has increased from sounds steadily with...

This Wednesday my neighbour did a lot of hammering and drilling. On and off for 7-8 hours. With a few breaks. I was wearing ear muffs inside my house. I noticed the drilling had stopped for a while and decided to go through the hallway to get something from another room. At this point only my...

My tinnitus is from noise exposure. At first when I didn't know about musician earplugs I knew the foam ones make it very hard to communicate, so I used cotton balls to get at least some protection. When I started using earplugs I thought it was fine for about a month (Alpine 22 dB NRR and...

I am starting to suspect my ear drum itself plays a role in the severity of my tinnitus. I say that because they are sensitive to the suction created by earplugs (foam or silicone) and can feel them vibrate to certain sounds like clapping or sharp ones like cutlery. Also, I recently went to...

I went on a two hour car trip to home. My tinnitus is, like waay worse. What do I do? Should I get steroids? What steroids? ENTs and doctors are dumb here. Should I try to get prednisone somehow? Is there literally nothing we can do in these cases?

I gave it my best shot. I used hearing protection. I didn't go to any loud places. I tried to stay calm. I am now at a point where I can hardly concentrate or sleep because of my worsened tinnitus. I will have to call it quits after 2 months, because going on any further will only worsen my...

I wear earplugs on the streets, on bus or other cars. I don't go to any loud events. I don't listen to music on headphones. I take my supplements: Vitamin C, Magnesium, Zinc and others. I took Betaserc and Ginkgo biloba in the past with no results. I've had it for almost 2 years. I'm 19, in...
