Hi all, I'm experiencing performance-anxiety-related erectile dysfunction (ED) and was recommended using ED medication (e.g. low dose of...
Yup, they have metal
Even if we knew for sure, it doesn't really matter. Tinnitus can get worse due to noise exposure, with or without earplugs - go with whatever...
I could not care less about Star Wars, but it does make me a little sad that I can't go to see Ferrari v Ford :c I'm very much looking forward to...
As much as I agree with you on taking reasonable precautions, I don't really see any easily avoidable mistakes here... OP, stay strong. As with...
Very relatable!
Sorry to hear that. Good decision. No, it is not possible. The bones in your skull can conduct noise - normally it is negligible, but with...
When my tinnitus started, I had a very hard time adjusting to my new "lifestyle" with no bars and restaurants. Tom's posts were always very...
I always get a spike after alcohol. Try not to think about it :) You might consider getting some magnesium - it might not help but will make you...
I've always been a big fan of stand-up. Laughing can get laud, clapping can get loud. Choose earplugs according to your sound tolerance and you...
Hi everyone! Does anyone have any experience with psoriasis and can maybe provide some encouragement? I have a red, scaling patch on my palm,...
@Bill Bauer you might be knowledgeable about this
It gets better with time HANG IN THERE. Go for a walk, leave the house. Be around people.
Thank you :)
High blood pressure and strokes. Not sure if these are hereditary. Yes. EKG (normal), all kinds of blood tests (all normal, low(ish) potassium)...
Custom made earplugs if you have enough time to get them done for you.
Yeah, 170/100. So weird, right?
I'm feeling more or less ok now. I'm tired and a little scared this might happen again, but for now I'm back to 120/80/80. I could use a few...
No, but I'm seeing a doctor privately tomorrow. I was feeling really bad so I went to the nearest hospital - acording to my friends it happened...
Maybe? But it started 2 h before I got to the hospital and it was already calming down when I got there. So my BP could have been 200/100 for 2h,...
Hi guys, thank you for your messages. I'm 20 years old. Yes. No clue about diagnosis tho, I'm in a public Polish hospital so the communication...
Sitting in A&E for 5 hours already. My heart realized that it's boring when it's beating regularly and is trying out some new rhythms. Also, I...
Yes
TRT is available free on the internet since forever. White noise is free, headphones are free, a recording of a counselling session are online. A...
Can you name a single "TRT Company" powerful enough to sabotage medical research?
Realistically, it's much better to concentrate on habituation and helping people achieve it. There are promising hearing-restoration trials...
Guys, for me it looks like earmuffs over in-ear monitors. I see no reason to do that other than a worsening hearing problem... maybe he got some...
Unless this clock uses explosives to wake you up - you're fine
19dB across all frequencies, wow!
It's just a colour :D pick the one you like the most. They are not very discreet anyway. Mine are silver
85dB is ok with Alpine Musicsafe IMHO. Listen to your ears and have foam plugs as backup. You'll be fine
White earplugs will go yellow after a while. I'd choose anything but white.
Yes. Very good. They only have 18dB protection and they dont look great but boy, they do sound great. Buy them, you wont regret it :) I dont know...
No idea. I had it for some time but ENT said it'll go away so I trusted her and I was completely calm. I heard it every now and then but I...
Try not to do it. My method is to tell myself 'I hear some sound and I don't care' every time you catch yourself listening for your tinnitus. The...
Perceiving 'normal' sounds as loud/painful/causing discomfort is called hyperacusis and it's common too, unfortunately. For some it goes away...
If you can, go be around people a bit, it helps. That's very common, actually. Are a scientist or an engineer too? Plenty of us here :) They...
Buy decent musician earplugs. I'd avoid metal concert from now on ;)
Im pretty paranoid myself, but that's some next level stuff :P It's normal for tinnitus to worsen after smoking weed and it usually returns to...
2 weeks is still early stages, be strong :)
Pax, pax, pax. Guys, no one will convince anyone here, so I suggest that... we all give up. We all have opinions, we all have to make decisions...
It was really bad for 2-4 months and then it slowly improved. I honestly don't know what advice to give you. I'm sorry I can't be more helpful l.
I've read about people who had it for many months, but I don't remember exact numbers... I still occasionally get it, but to lesser extent than...
I'm going to repeat one last time: there is no reason to believe noise exposure caused those people to worsen. (Its your thesis, you can't assume...
All you know is that X% of people surveyed worsened. This could mean that X% of people with T will worsen regardless of noise exposure. No...
I'd be careful with nightclubs - there are loud venues and LOUD venues. But I agree. For me, it's not about loud places here. I actually agree...
@Bill Bauer For now, all you have is "people who have tinnitus have a significant chance of worsening with time", which is NOT true either because...
I'm just encouraging you to think about the impact your words have on other people. A few months ago, a room with people talking and laughing...
NO. STOP. You can not conclude that from this poll. You need a sample of people who never attended a loud event (after T), compute the...
As previously stated, it's an estimate of a probability of worsening your T if your lifestyle includes loud events. Your post is misleading. My...
I used to be a Junior Rocket Scientist! For real! My previous employer allowed me to choose my job title and I thought it's ridiculous. After a...
You're confusing thing. You're looking at a probability that person X that participated in N (possibly large N) loud events got a permanent spike....
Spike might be from physical activity, not noise. Such spikes are always temporary.
DO NOT LISTEN FOR IT It might go, it might stay. What's important is that you'll protect your ears from now on, right? Most probably not. If it...
1. Play a random frequency X. 2. Is your tinnitus' frequency higher or lower? Say it's lower. 3. Play a random frequency lower than X. Let's call...
I think it gets better and better with age. This whole T situation is not a fun thing to be in when you're 20ish or 30. But we're like that -...
Good if they didn't
No Protect you ears in the future. It's serious stuff. You'll make mistakes in the future, and you'll end up with spikes. Life. Be careful,...
Fleeting tinnitus Can happen at any time of the day
Glynis, you're such a good person, we're blessed to have you here. Just wanted to say thank you. You should really consider CBT. I would...
