    Can a Pressure Washer Cause Auditory Damage?

    Thanks @glynis , My ear is also in a lot of pain. I knew something was wrong, this sound is very different from my low level hiss. Just took two steroids, I hope it will settle down too. Thank you for reassuring me.

    Can a Pressure Washer Cause Auditory Damage?

    @glynis The loud echo I had turned out be an ear infection, I did indeed have a ton of wax. My reg T hasn't been so bad at all (gone really!) and this echo is unbelieable. I had my ears syringed to get rid of the wax but the noise is still there. They gave me ear drops and steroids. I am...

    Can a Pressure Washer Cause Auditory Damage?

    Hi @Weswhat, It's never too late. My T was caused by my wisdom teeth removal close to 3 years ago, but I didnt have T till last year. The only symptom I had was a clicking jaw. And it took a very long time for doctors to even diagnose me. All I knew back then is that steroids took it away...

    @Falconfox You are so right about the anxiety part and just doing normal day things. Ive always struggled with anxiety so T made everything worse. It's hard I don't think I can talk to my family about it anymore. I am just SO thankful there is forum like this. Thank you for talking to me...

    Can a Pressure Washer Cause Auditory Damage?

    Thanks @Richard zurowski I hope one day I'll get to a point where I don't shriek when I hear a loud ambulance/motorcycle/lawn mower. I'm not the person who I used to be before T, but I'm getting there. Even with my ringing low, I'm still so cautious because of the "what ifs!" Love your...

    Can a Pressure Washer Cause Auditory Damage?

    Hi @glynis! I've enjoyed running so much since getting T. It keeps my mind occupied and I get my endorphins going! I can't believe I almost wanted to stopped because of what happened yesterday. Thank you so much for the reassurance!

    Can a Pressure Washer Cause Auditory Damage?

    @mohamad-m I think its more paranoia since I didn't have any plugs with me and I was caught off guard! Those pressure washer thingys seemed loud but I think my anxiety makes it 10x louder than it really is. Thanks for your response!

    Can a Pressure Washer Cause Auditory Damage?

    @Sailboardman Thanks for the reply. It's pretty stressful getting anxious over everyday sounds. The last thing I want to do is cause any damage. Thank you, I just needed the reassurance that I can jog in my neighborhood without feeling stressed.

    Can a Pressure Washer Cause Auditory Damage?

    Hi all, I have been doing so well lately, my T has really improved from a ringing to a soft hiss. My T is from inflammation btw. However, while I was jogging in my neighborhood, someone was pressure washing their driveway. I was only exposed maybe 5s to it. However, I feel like I can still hear...
