What meds exactly?

That sound was short and not amplified (as in; not a speaker, not an explosion), so 99,99% chance spike is caused by the stress/worry, and your...

Do go outside, but with earplugs. Those made of foam will lower a 110 dB sound to around 80 dB. You're safe at 80 dB, especially since a siren or...

Your spike most probably is psychological only, since your brain filters out sound as a serious threat, and this sound stood out, your brain got...

Has anyone here had a spike AFTER you STOP taking Elvanse (Lisdexamfetamine), which is an ADHD medication? I was on it daily for about 6 weeks,...

So, the general understanding of how long a human´s maximum exposure (time/loudness) may be, to avoid risk of hearing damage, is not to be taken...

Hi @Bobbie7, For clarity, my T got 3-4 times as loud after that one night out - about 3,5 years ago. Switched to better earplugs, no changes for...

Did you ever figure this out?

I'm of course hoping that what happened is my brain is "just not" ignoring T as easily for the moment, because my brain experienced a threatening...

BTW, I see some talk about steroid-treatment after exposure to lound sound. Any experience? Is it proven to make a difference? Is it done in Germany?

Yeah... Maybe use 9F-plugs when worried? Cuts off 6 dB, not much but... And then use -30 dB plugs when the risk is really high.

Random I think.

"Firecracker 125 dB" http://www.betterhearing.org/sites/default/files/hearingpedia/noise%20thermometer.png

True. Well, I guess it matters for us; trying to make choices regarding protection, exposure, and dealing with the fact that what we perceive as...

Yes, I think a lot about guns and the US, like, more people should have T from guns, and firecrackers... I know I was born with more sensitive...

Yes. I guess what keeps me calm is that I did´nt notice any changes as of yet. This opposed to when my T first appeared 16 years ago, from a...

My calculations says that a 139 dB bang, lasting for 0.117 seconds, should be "ok" according to above mentioned scale.

...and for how long can you say the sounds is peaking? I´m thinking about these exposure numbers:...

"...advances in brain imaging and associated techniques have enabled researchers to begin homing in on their structural and functional bases,...

I still produce and play live. EDM, so I have good control of levels (as opposed to a band or a drummer). I use Etymotic 25 (NRR 23) and a pair of...

Well, suicidal. Cannot focus on anything, mostly.

What do you guys do on a day when your T is really loud? To manage...

Go for it!!! I would´ve!

Similar, custom made, all filled with silicone, i.e. not hollow. [ATTACH]

What is "SMTH" in Denmark?

[ATTACH] These are not my actual ones, but the material/construction is identical. They cancel out A LOT of sound, so mutch so it´s really hard...

I´d sooo do it, so I really think you should take the opportunity!

Hm, how can one know if the HCs are just "sleeping?" And not dead?

Sooo, no one got any effect from Caroverine? Any new clinical results to read?

I had a few incidents causing my T, 14-15 years ago; firecracker, playing the drums (inkl. cymbals - which are LOUD), and a big outdoor concert....

BTW, is anybody bringing a dB-meter when going out? Can you recommend a model? One metering 30 Hz - 8000 Hz is fairly cheap. One metering 20-20...

Drank yesterday, big T spike today. Alc. does that to my T. As does caffeine.

If phase III-trial(s) goes well, hopefully AM-101 will hit market within 3-4 years at best, to my understanding. I sure hope it will pass and sell...

Woah, permanent - sounds almost too good to be true! Drool!!!

For how long is the effect of an AM-101 treatment (those three shots?) supposedly effective?

Also, there is a lot of water/similar sounds at YouTube.

55 dB is VERY low. Like a washing machine or a dishwasher. Are you sure it´s not general tiredness, caffeine or stress causing the change?

I just read that human ears are less sensitive to sound below 1000 Hz. And most kickdrums are about 70-200 Hz and bass/sub even lower, closer...

In what way did you experience bass effected your T? I.e. did the character of your T change?

Sorry, but I´ll try to bump this thread. Anyone?

Like what?

Sorry to hear that. But personally, I´m having a hard time believeing that regular office noise can actually make noise induced T go even worse,...

Sorry for the long post above. What I´m wondering is, how do You actually interpret the the -dBs or NRR numbers when planinng your protection with...

So, how is it going today, still the same "new" level? I´m having this question ATM. I want to be able to still have a social life; clubs,...

This is really confusing me... Example, the tool and hearing protector discussed above: 100 dB - 25dB = 75 dB at the ear. For professional...

Have anybodyelse here gotten permanently worse T from going to a club or concert, even though wearing earplugs such as -25dB´s? And, does...

Sounds so efficient! Is this treatment established? Is it performed anywere?

Sooo, anybody tried any of the "marketed" drugs listed in the PDF?

Accumulating more damage over long time? I mean -25 dB is a lot. And bone conduction seems to not be a big issue, acording to the little reading...

Well, yes for sure! Anybody here tried Retigabine for T?

Retigabine seems to have quite adverse side effects. :-(
