    Got Tinnitus from Stupidly Not Wearing Earplugs at a Concert Last Week. Not Sure When to Give Up.

    I wonder if constantly having my laptop be playing this video nearly 24/7 at low/med volume is "easy on the ears"... only way I can distract myself Sometimes I also have an audiobook going on top of that (I turn down the water vid a bit so I don't have to make the audiobook loud, but it's...

    Got Tinnitus from Stupidly Not Wearing Earplugs at a Concert Last Week. Not Sure When to Give Up.

    Thanks for the encouragement. I am still mostly in a panic spiral but I still have a smidge of hope left Oddly I can hear silence if I take a long hot steamy shower. Afterwards there seems to be no T (or it's imperceptible) for about 10-25 minutes. That gives me a lot of calm, which instantly...

    Got Tinnitus from Stupidly Not Wearing Earplugs at a Concert Last Week. Not Sure When to Give Up.

    I"ve also read posts saying that "people are so negative on tinnitus forums because all the people who truly had TEMPORARY tinnitus, where it faded away completely or almost completely, no longer post there". I sure hope that one's true.

    Got Tinnitus from Stupidly Not Wearing Earplugs at a Concert Last Week. Not Sure When to Give Up.

    Well, of course I considered it in the last week. I never thought about it before then, but I'm sure most people don't, which is why they end up here, unfortunately. I should mention I don't actually use the noise cancelling function becuase the padding of the headphones is pretty thick and it...

    Got Tinnitus from Stupidly Not Wearing Earplugs at a Concert Last Week. Not Sure When to Give Up.

    Given the relative intensities of the two, and how the pain is only there about 5% of the time and the ringing is there almost all the time except for about 5 minutes after I take a shower, then yes for sure I'm still more worried about the ringing

    Got Tinnitus from Stupidly Not Wearing Earplugs at a Concert Last Week. Not Sure When to Give Up.

    Honestly I'm not really worried about the ear pain in my left ear, I'm much more worried about the ear ringing in my right ear. But regardless yeah I haven't been listening to music or headphones... just speech at med volume on speakers. I guess I"ll stop that too, for a while at least. I'll...

    Got Tinnitus from Stupidly Not Wearing Earplugs at a Concert Last Week. Not Sure When to Give Up.

    Yeah, I've been trying. Previous to my concert, I probably spent... honestly? Between 7-13 hours per day with headphones on, although the vast majority of the time, it was just speech (podcasts, audiobooks, etc) at what I think is definitely a safe volume. Also these are over ear noise...

    Got Tinnitus from Stupidly Not Wearing Earplugs at a Concert Last Week. Not Sure When to Give Up.

    6 days and 13 hours ago on 5/31/2019 I went to an extremely loud metal concert in a small confined bar. No earplugs. I'd been to many concerts before with no effects past the next morning, although I hadn't been to a concert in at least... I'm going to guess 8 to 9 months before the one in...
