Separate names with a comma.
Looking back, mine was probably a 6-7 but because I was such a mess mentally, it made it seem like a 9-10. Now, I barely notice it unless I'm in...
Hi all, Hope everyone is well! I haven't been on this forum for a long time. It really did save me at my worst times. I am at a point now that...
Cheers mate! Yeah true but I think the bone conduction thing is looked into too much, I read that the skull attenuates 40db or something similar.
Yeah I can't see how any cinema could possibly be 130db. I've never known a cinema to be close to how loud the gig was. I agree regarding the...
I don't think the concert changed it at all :) I have noticed it a bit more the last couple of days but that's probably only as I've been...
I wore those with ear defenders on top.
It was mostly around 97-102db, and went up to 115ish when there were explosion things for effect. :) The earplugs and ear defenders worked well...
Hi Zora. All went well and had a fantastic time. No real spike, maybe slightly louder but that's to be expected and I'm sure it will settle down. :)
Hi guys So I went to the gig last night, and fingers crossed - I appear to be completely fine. Yesterday was a very loud day too as a 2 hour...
It's tonight, I'll let you know!
Thanks for your input as always :) and j agree completely. There's two kinds of people with tinnitus, those who obsess and those who don't....
My sound level meter arrived today "HT-80A" as linked above. I compared it to my iphone app. The iphone app said 78db for my music, the sound...
I'm going to my first concert tomorrow since T and I've had a bit of pain in my left ear which is worse when I lean down making me think it might...
Thanks for your help, much appreciated. They seem to be even better!
Wow, that's great, thanks for the information! Bit worrying how little protection with the lower frequencies though :/ You don't happen to be...
Thanks for the input, glad you were able to go without consequences!
I've just bought these ear defenders......
What sort of gig and what sized venue? :)
I'm just going to go for it and take procautions. I'll take ear What gig was it out of interest and what size venue? I've been to small acoustic...
Hey man, long time no speak! how are you doing these days?
Haha yeah, I went to Japan in October on a random trip and ever since then I've loved baby metal after hearing them everywhere! How is your T?...
Thanks linearb :) Hope you're doing good? Haven't been on here for a while! Bought a sound meter today so I will use that and assess once...
Baby metal :)
Thanks for the input! Yeah that's what I'm thinking, I'll be in the city anyway for a football match, so it's not like I've gone ages away to only...
My favourite band are coming all the way from Japan for a tour in April. I've been offered tickets cheap and tempted to give it a go with HEAROS...
Got another flight tomorrow, and guess what, I have a cold again! The last one I had was the last time I flew, bit too much of a coincidence! My...
You're right. Thank you. Don't know why I got back into that mind frame of thinking. My ears are blocked up too so maybe I just have a cold or...
My tinnitus is worse again this morning. Have to take this stuff for 6 weeks which is concerning.
Hi all, I appear to have jinxed my self with the success story. Last night I got in so much pain from the man areas so I went to A&E. I've been...
Thanks! I'm still an anxious mess but no longer towards tinnitus haha.
I'm not sure how to explain it, but I'd never enjoy life to the max, I'd always over think things and think, maybe that's not the best idea. Now,...
I will try to keep this as brief as possible as I'm now about to go out, but thought I'd let people know how things have gone on a year on......
Normal cinema is surely fine, I go quite often and wear my 33db hearos ear plugs. Never had a problem. My T got worse after Star Wars and is still...
It's completely up to you to risk it but if it's very bad it may be worth re-arranging. Basically, an hour before I left, I used steam inhilation...
Hi All, Although I am pretty much habituated to T - my life is pretty much back to normal (touch wood), I am very scared for the future. I will...
Hi fungus, I have been to Japan and now flown back to England too. My ears were still bad but it all went completely fine :) only slight...
Thanks! Yes of course, I will always protect my ears. :) Am I right in thinking the musician ones only block out approx 20-25db? They would be...
That's very true! It's always those people who look very up themselves and think they're better than everyone who takes the mick. I didn't show...
You're definitely not alone! Although it's hard at first it will get easier. I have most of my life back and although it still bothers me when it...
Sorry I think I phrased it wrong. Luckily my friends are all extremely understanding of my T, it was just other morons who I don't know. I was...
went out with my friends last night, trying to have a good night despite this T. Went into a club with ear plugs in and several people laughed at...
Tokyo, went for a week and barely thought about my T, was also the best week of my life - proves you can still have great times even with T. :)
How long has it been this increased T? Sounds odd, but about a week or two before a cold, mine gets really loud and I often panic making it worse....
Man don't let T control your fun! T made me upgrade my car to a Nissan 350z! I just wear ear plugs if I go on longer journeys as it can be quite...
Ascent went ok, quite uncomfortable with the ear planes though. The plane is very noisy though. 92db average. Will foam plugs b okay when you...
is doing the above manoeuvre wise when descending if the ears can't equalise? I just thought that if the blocked ear is causing pain and pressure,...
Just got pain in my ear walking down the stairs which is worrying me. Hope it's just my anxiety but I'm gonna go for it.
Seen a doctor for the 3rd time who said its just usual fluid in my ear left over from a cold. It doesn't seem like that but he said he'd still...
Oh really? Is HbOt similar to flying in terms of pressure changes? I can't take any nasal spray :( have you flown since?? Something to do with...
That's great to hear!
Hey Telis, how are you getting along these days? I took steroids (prednisolone I think) which brought my T volume right down! Took them for a...
Many thanks Glynis! I will try the steam inhalation. Just worry about the flight and increased T. Sudafed is illegal in Japan too so that's one of...
Hi all, Went to the doctor today for a final check up before my flight. Inspected my ears as I've had a little bit of pain on and off and said...
Thank you for everyones input. I went to the doctor again today and got someone who was helpful. She inspected my ear as I've had a bit of pain...
You're probably right. I worry too much about everything. I have ear planes which should help too. Only worry is that my ears still feel full of...
Have to make the decision today :( My cold symptoms have mostly gone. However I woke up achy today with a little bit of mucus when blowing my...
Yeah I have noticed that, but only a very limited amount of people it seems. My cold has pretty much gone, just a slight runny nose, but still...
I fly Thursday, my cold is clearing up but still crackling in my ears and they pop if I blow my nose which is hopefully a good sign. But still...
Saw the doctor today who didn't help. Was hoping for some advice, nothing except there's a possibility I could rupture my ear drum and it's up to...
Ah, it's a shame that the earplanes don't fit you. They seem to help a lot of people with regards to the pain. I'm in such a difficult choice...
