Has Anybody Been Go-Karting with Tinnitus?

Have been invited to go, but can't find anything on the web about the volumes from the karts.

I guess It'd be fine with plugs?

 

You'll be fine. Go and enjoy yourself. Just make sure you put in your plugs deep and correctly.

 

its your call remember the motors are on the back and close to your ears. i wouldnt too close..but its your life man. and they are loud, if they are traditional go-karts.

 

Thanks for the advice. I have plugs which cut out a minimum of 33db, so I guess as long as they're not over 113db they would be fine? And the helmet must cut out sound too?

 

Are they those electric ones indoors? Or gas powered ones ive used some before T man and those things are pretty loud.. If your un easy about going dont risk it especially if youve been experiencing sensitivity to noise lately @geg

 

Gas powered ones, just lawnmower engines stuck to go karts basically haha. Yeah I don't think I'll risk it to be honest, just frustrating as it was one of my favourite things to do.

 

I never ride my motorcycle without 33 db plugs, and it maxes out at about 110db. But, I do notice some ear fatigue after riding for more than a few minutes even at that, and I am on the verge of giving the bike up even though I don't want to. YMMV...

I did go-karts in the desert in Vegas last summer (with plugs), and didn't have any problems from that. That go-kart was definitely not as loud as my motorcycle, either. 110db is really loud.
