Summer Camp

[Lena C.]

Hello Dr Nagler !
I hope you get better.
I wish to make a summer camp this summer and wanted to know if it could increase my tinnitus? With children screaming?
Thank you for you answer in advance,

Hello Dr Nagler !
I hope you get better.

I'm doing well, thank you.

Lena, there are so many things we encounter in our lives that "could increase" our tinnitus that if we make a conscious effort to avoid every one of them, then life will not be worth living at all! My suggestion to you would be to go to camp and enjoy the experience to the fullest. And if at some time or other the children make so much noise that you cannot be heard by a person standing next to you without raising your own voice, then pop in a pair of earplugs.

All the best -
