I was thinking the other day about trying skydiving for the first time in my life since I always wanted to do it but was too scared of dying if anything went wrong.

Well, thanks to tinnitus I no longer fear death, but what I do fear is getting a permanent worsening of my evil little friend, be it from barotrauma or from the noise of the wind/airplane engine.

Any thoughts?
 
I would be more concerned about the noise of the wind and the plane.

If you don't have problems with pressure in your ears I wouldn't be concerned about barotrauma.

I'd wait until you want to die :D
 
@Óscar PP, I also want to skydive at least once in my life. If you end up trying, please let me know how it went.

Has anyone else here skydived and did it cause any problems with tinnitus?
