Separate names with a comma.
That's why they get paid the big bucks. I wish I could do nothing at all and have people pay me for it. Sounds pretty sweet.
Then take two. Problem solved.
Let's bribe them for info.
Just take another pill!
I wonder why they can't do both phases at once? Test for safety and efficacy. If I recall correctly, the safety phase of this study was done on...
Yes. The only time I remember hearing ringing before that was once when I was young. A friend and I lit off a firecracker too close. It faded...
Yes. Although, if you are going to be somewhere where you could be exposed to louder levels of sound, I would use new ones. Just in case.
The chart you posted shows recommendations based on the CDC's NIOSH guidelines. Unfortunately, they do not protect everyone and do not take into...
Now did you wear protection during these exposures? And how far were you from the stage? I was a clueless teenager and just went into the mosh pit...
I reuse them until they lose the ability to fully expand and form an air seal against the ear canal.
Same here. Some people's ears could just be more susceptible to damage or less resilient. Possibly the maladaptive neuroplastic changes that can...
My inclination would be to continue withdrawing from it. It's been a few weeks and you don't want to throw a wrench into the process. You were on...
Tell that to my ears. Hopefully you are right.
A toast to the cure.:beeranimation: (Or at least an increased quality of life.) Screaming match with a relative I visited. They can really push...
I did something really stupid two days ago and my tinnitus is the worst it has ever been. Things felt like they were headed in a better direction,...
And there are times when you are completely unaware that the clock is ticking, correct?
I have not habituated in the last 2 years because mine keeps getting worse. But I have in the past and I would define it as ... simply not caring...
If you want to use earmuffs in addition to the earplugs, I have included links to some MRI-safe ones. I would strongly recommend you use both if...
Right on, Fishbone. This is the way to be. Just walk away. Distance yourself from such ignorant, close-minded people. It's not worth getting upset...
That's fortunate. Did you perceive it as being loud? And did you wear dual protection?
I can only advise that if you decide to do the MRI, use double protection if possible. And stay away from the portable ones in trailers. @Ed209...
Or there may not be. The most prudent thing is to protect your ears so it doesn't get even worse.
I suspect this is from minor ear trauma. Kids are exposed to a lot of excessive sound levels in this society, not to mention their own screaming...
Can you get through to the lab and ask someone to just go over to the machine itself and check the brand/model number? Then you could contact the...
Most people are unaware of this potential consequence. They may have heard that an MRI is loud but assume the doctor and clinician would provide...
Be sure to write an honest Yelp review on your experience with this ENT.
Free radicals are generated during excessive sound exposure and do damage to the ears. Many antioxidants are likely to provide some protection by...
Audiologists don't know shit about heating. ;)
It did for me. It's impossible to say. It varies between individuals (and likely within the same individual depending on the current state of...
I'm thinking of a television ad that goes ... - "Do you want to hear THIS for the rest of your life?" [Multiple, loud, high-pitched sounds play...
Yet is he the same or does it still affect him/torment him? Does it stress that the tinnitus never left him? That it is forever? This is important...
It can be misleading because it is a smiley face but means funny. It should be a face that is laughing.
Not at all. It's difficult to pinpoint exactly what led to the change in my tinnitus. Damage is cumulative and one event can be the fatal final...
Just to be careful not to encourage an exaggerated fear of sound, avoidance of healthy activities, or overuse of ear plugs. I'm probably not the...
Hi Claudia. I went through the same process as your son when I was 17. The fear and avoidance of sound, panic, isolation, depression - all of it....
Right. It sounds like a small percentage but that's a lot of people. According the the ATA, 2 million people in the US alone suffer from severe...
Hi Jan. Does tinnitus still affect your life? Do you ever suffer from it? And does it limit your life at all?
As do I. A lot of these kids are being permanently injured by concerts. Something needs to be done to help prevent it. It's child abuse plain and...
That's definitely not true for everyone, though. I know because I would have listened if someone had warned me of tinnitus. And I was 17. But I'd...
Please do. We all want to see you pull through this and be able to start truly living again. Don't fight the tinnitus - accept it and be one with it.
Society desperately needs an increase in tinnitus awareness. There aren't even signs at nightclubs or concerts warning people about the risk of...
I don't know.
I don't see how tinnitus could cause floaters. They are related to protein in the vitreous of the eye and have nothing to do with the ears or...
In buddhism, all is god.
Here's a random article that might provide some insight on the mechanisms of stress-induced damage. It shows benefits of aspirin, funny enough. -...
I've read about people who experience that phenomenon. Mine seems to be different. I'll just be, say, relaxing in the house and realize that the...
Once the deed is done it's done. Stress may cause a lasting damage/alteration to the ears or brain.
There is the widely-spread theory around these circles that the ears benefit from acoustic enrichment. But I don't buy it. Exposing the ears to...
I wish that was the case for me. It takes a long time to go back down.
I don't know if it was too loud for you or not. If the spike is actually related to the event then something was amiss, though. As far as your ear...
Thank you, Michael. I wish the same for you.
I hate to break it to you Michael, but all terms were made up by people. They are an attempt to precisely describe a thing or concept....
I'm glad your flight went well. Did you ask an ENT about the dizziness?
Yes, it is. I assure you it's still worth living. Look at the big picture.
Oh, just that it's better to lose the thrill of jacking up your stereo than gain the misery of increased tinnitus.
Barking is their way of communicating and expressing themselves. Just let them be dogs. Then you can work on being human.
Let it go. This is a situation where losing is better than gaining.
I don't handle it very well. Luckily it doesn't happen too often. I have three Australian Shepherds and I can definitely get into panic mode,...
Definitely better than an elephant. Have you heard those beasts trumpeting? It's quite loud. "Elephants can produce very gentle, soft sounds as...
Hmm. That sucks. So you don't think it has anything to do with the fat content? What do you eat with the peanut butter or cinnamon? Jelly or...
