Hi William, if I recall correctly it was my ENT in the hospital Sint Lucas Gent, don't remember his name but I think it might be standard...
The volume is not measurable by any objective standards, I believe it went down. I don't know for sure though. My mindset was completely...
Certainly, everyone their story is different! And for me conquering my fear somehow made my tinnitus more tolerable and perhaps even quieter......
Hey everyone, This is what tinnitus and -my form- of hyperacusis was for me the last years. This is a personal experience, but it can tell you...
I'll try to make the post asap but I can tell you this: dramatic improvement happened around 18 months, both in dealing with T and "accepting" as...
Sorry for the late answer guys, I was thinking of indeed making a succes stories post, I wanted to do this for a while to support some of you, but...
A while since I've been here, thats because my T has almost completely gone and it does not disturb me any longer. 18m in it improved a lot.
Depends on your car, in the super early stage I might advise to use earplugs for older cars and bad roads and higher speeds. (this is far from...
A peak of 92 is even doable without earplugs, as long as it's not sustained for an hour or so. even with crappy earplugs there is nothing to worry...
I feel like this article isn't always so clear on the difference between hearing damage and the stress sound can cause. 70 dB average on 24 hours...
Thanks for your answer! I currently already have the x5(a?), so I guess there is nothing better?
Guys, I need the highest rated earmuffs that money can buy, I currently have a few, where my Peltor X5A is the best. But now I need something even...
Been a while so I don't know anymore, guess I was googling about them. I used to have frequent spikes and google everything. (Possibly not the...
That's not really true though, for me a car passing by might sound too loud, doesn't mean it is too loud.
It is up the instructor, he should be aware of the potential dangers of what they are doing, and is responsible for the health and safety of their...
Yeah, you could skip your own wedding.
Piracetam I think or sortlike to get the blood flowing in the inner ear.
It's really hard to tell, I've had my biggest improvements in the first half year, but after that it still continued to go down. Sometimes it's...
I use plugs in a car like that, at least at highway speeds, just too uncomfortable.
Though between boundries. There is a maximum level for television broadcasts. I do doubt the same excists on facebook-video's though for instance.
Hyperacusis from overprotecting is mostly reversible, that's true.
That's quite literally what gave me hyperacusis, but if it's helping you.. Can you say what you mean with extended time than?
What is the treatment? I have them as well, and like them because of the protection, but thats about it.
Well, suprise that you were going to abuse that "ENT topic". You are getting worse in your arguments, more aggressive as well. Yesterday you...
No, went down. So actually I should not be on the forum, but I like to vote because this vote is biased for that reason.
It's a good idea to clean the fan out, but it will certainly not damage his hearing, even if he had 10 ps4's next to each other.. Try to look for...
I am far from promoting reckless behaviour, you are the one who is telling people they should never ever step outside without earmuffs. Do you...
Stop the damn fear mongering man. You are probably listening to your television louder than he was with all the protection on.
It's fine, you had plugs and muffs, I even think your T could spike because of the protection. I sometimes get increased T afterwards when wearing...
While your advice might be good for loud sounds, it does not help the topics-tarter mentally. We have no idea "how loud" these "loud sounds" have...
Where did your worsening happen? How loud was it with how much protection?
Seems like you are aware of the dangers, but are not overreacting on it, which is good. I would avoid really loud clubs, but other than that...
Getting drunk and getting yourself near speakers can be dangerous yes, this does not mean you can't get drunk or have fun in a way YOU like. If...
I am going to follow therapy for it, might even get TRT just for hyperaccusis, and I try to think rationaly but I know the challenge in that.
"My phone sound metre had the sound at 96db, but it seemed much louder." It always seems louder when you don't expect sound, and when you are in...
Nothing should stop a person from drinking. -Gandhi 1981
I would avoid it, or just use plugs. But damage? I doubt it. Even if you would take 80 dB as limit, it's supposed to be for 8 hours, which makes...
wow, watch out. 18 days of predisone is a serious while, you do need to be careful and taper down accordingly. Do not change your dose without...
Yes, no one here is qualified to give you any decent advice on the matter. And the only reasonable reaction is to not waste any more time and get...
Sure, but a lot of countries have dB limits (tho still too high.)
Hey, I had problematic OCD before T. Really getting out of hand. It stopped once I had T, because I can only focus on one problem at one. Once my...
It's not about the person, it's about his opinion.
Except that it's not always the band that decides the volume. Tbh, I think Tomorrowland is more dangerous than a concert for instance.
If someone doesn't agree with your opinion you are considered "negative". Well don't ever go into any debate than please.
HBOT is quite loud really? Are you allowed to use earmufs?
I am a living example of this warning btw. I had to deal with OCD before tinnitus, and now I have a form of H, which I caused by being so mental...
Hey Andrea, good to hear that you are doing fine. Do you mind me asking if your T changed at all over the period, did it get less? Does sleeping...
Indeed, it's getting really tiring, and the problem is that the OP is not helped at all. I am glad these sides didn't exist when I first had T. I...
You are, trust me. What's your point?
Hey man sorry to hear. I do believe it could have been pretty loud, for YOU, but I doubt it could be more than 90 dB, and the difference between...
Why should the second situation be avoided? I do avoid it now, but logic tells me it's fine. Except that it's not the same..
First of you can't give a sensibel answer to this question, because you could go from - 9 dB to -30 dB in the earplug-world.. Let's say, they are...
I actually went to two weddings when my T was higher, both times I used premolds. Last time my axiety had risen so I used a thin peltor on the...
I am gonna give my opinion, I have nothing against B. he's probably a nice guy, and he helps people in his way. BUT Take note of the following, he...
Find a sound that helps to deal with your T and play it at the same time.
You spread your fear mongering like the next prophet. And you always focus on the sound level. You do know duration is equally important as the...
Hi everyone, Doing much better and I am happy to say my tinnitus is at an all time low *knock on wood*. My bad days are my old best days. :) But...
Well, advise here says to follow what you WANT. Now this sounds like decent advise, but your axiety will most likely be the boss of you. I've...
I've almost quite the use of it completely, there was a time that I started a popping a few every other week. But that's over, now I do have to...
Depends what your sources are, I guess literally everything can be ototoxic. That article says indeed that ringing in the air is a side effect,...
