My right ear began ringing when I was 16 (I’m 26 now). After a rough rollercoaster I finally was at a place where my tinnitus was a second thought...
Exactly! Couldn’t have said it better myself.
Well, at the end of allergy season I began having ETD problems in my left ear as I have had from time to time. Usually comes with a bit of ringing...
I’d probably say I was habituated at a 3/10, now I’m at a 5/10. Also this happened yesterday.
So here’s the scenario: I was in the doorway leading from the house into the garage. A guy in the garage lit off a fire cracker in the garage....
I am one of those people who can movr my jaw and change the sound of my tinnitus, so I am not sure if when I get braces that if they correct...
So I need a few things done inside my mouth, and I was just wondeing if anyone had any input on it. Ive read mixed things on here between...
Hi all! Had a recent discovery at work. I had my ear plugs in while vacuuming and I bent down to plug in my vacuum, but as I stood back up I...
Hi all! Been a while since I have been on here. My T hasn't changed much I think, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Anyway, I have decided I...
I know it has been sometime but I still wanted to post. I went to a heavy metal concert this past Sunday (Pain in the Grass) with bands like...
Thanks everyone for the continued support.
I take overly cautious matters to make sure I protect my ears, even from the most mundane things. for work I drive a van, and I wear ear plugs for...
Hammers, drills, nail guns, table saws, those kinds of things.
Hello all, I have recently gotten job offer from my cousin who is a general contractor doing mostly renovations and the occasional house build. I...
Hi Doctor, I went camping over the weekend and a buddy of mine had brought his 9mm pistol with him. In the spur of the moment I decided I would...
Yeah I know, I probably won't be doing it again and probably shouldn't have done it. Spur of the moment type thing. I don't think it's any worse...
So I went camping this weekend, and there was some shooting we did outdoors. I had my ears plugged even when I wasn't shooting, and when I did...
Man, whatever if it's a pointless thread. Every thread is pointless if you don't care about it. What's pointless to some might matter to others....
I'd tend to agree, but I'm talking actually physical damage.
So basically 120-130 decibels for a second or 85-90 for a few hours.
Just wanted to get a question and answer thread going on things compared to other things and which could pose a bigger risk to your...
This thread took hard right.
Still alive?
Don't.
This is the kind of post that makes me angry at the people on this site. You came here hoping to get some relation and assurance but only one...
Yup. The more you think about it, the worse you think it is. I bet it isn't as bad for you as you might think, in fact I'd be willing to bet that...
Hey man, like you mine started ringing when I was 15. I'm 21 now and still got it. How long have you had it that you can remember?
SAFE
Shout out to the doc.
Exactly. I'm probably going to avoid bars that have live music though, that might be a bit too rough for me even with ear plugs.
Thanks, yeah I thought so I just wanted to be sure! And it was very good! I liked the first one a little better, but the new one was still awesome!
And another question, is it still OK to go to bars, movies, arcades etc. even with ear plugs? Thanks!
Oh also, earlier in the day I saw the new Avengers movie, but had plugs in the entire time.
So it was my 21st birthday this past weekend so I decided to hit a few bars with friends. The first bar was loud enough where I had to talk loud...
Got message back today, he said that when people changed their dosage they might get headaches and they should go away. The increase in T may have...
Sent an email to my endo, will let you know what he says!

Went from 150 mcg Synthroid to 88 mcg Synthroid and 15 mcg Cytomel a day, and my tinnitus is much worse now. Can't even go on a drive and drown it...
What's the time frame on taking that stuff after being exposed to loud noise? It's 3:30 am here and the vitamin shop doesn't open til 8
Think that'd help?
Can't tell. I am more aware of it because I'm thinking about it, but I'm not sure if I spiked or not. I'll probably know for sure in the morning.
Wasn't fun. Happened like 20 minutes ago and I'm still pretty upset.
It's always something. Had my sisters small dog in my lap, and someone knocked on the door and it lifted it's head up by my left ear and did like...
Thank you both, it just sucks when this sort of thing happens..
True that.
Also, I was about 10 feet away from the alarm itself if that makes a difference.
So this morning I was coming down my stairs and like usual I disable my motion sensor, but the beep it made was actually from me setting it off...
Makes sense, the more you insert them the less room your own sound will have to bounce back and forth between your eardrum and the ear plug.
And I have read all of your guys' posts, I just assumed that if I posted here you two wouldn't notice and would continue to talk amongst...
Thanks for putting my post into a thread the consists of two people arguing back and forth, mods.
So I have been reading some posts on here about the "Occlusion Effect," which is the echoing noise you hear when you talk, chew, jump around etc.,...
I absolutely hate noises that might not be what some consider loud, but I do. I try my absolute best to protect my ears nowadays but there...
Had my grandpa blow a whistle about 3 feet away from my head today and I'm pretty frustrated about it. Hoping it didn't cause any more problems...
I remember going to about 5 or 6 when I was growing up, never once wore ear protection. Probably didn't help my situation now lol
So I have read a lot of things regarding tinnitus and ear plugs, but I wanted to get some input from everyone. What's the best type of earplug?...
Hey man, I'm there with you. I've had my T since I was 15, and I'm 20 now. I have recently gotten new T in my left ear, but have long since...
Could be, the ear is so sensitive I would believe most anything could hurt it /:
Oh and also, does anyone know how much "suction force" is needed to cause damage to the ears?
So I was doing some research and I found out something called the kiss of deaf, which is where someone kisses someone on the ear and in rare...
So I carry around and wear ear plugs everyday (as many of us do), but I come to find out that the kind I have could actually be damaging my ears...
