    Hi, how was your MRI in ballykelly? Mine got postponed because of another health issue, im in on monday, nervous about the loudness!
    H
    Hi my MRI is next week too. Again keep putting it off primarily because I know it won't yield anything and of course the loudness. I might postpone it myself.
    D
    im going to bite the bullet; it says on their website that their MRI scanner is 70% less loud than previous models?
    H
    Is this kingbridge in general or Ballykelly. I take it you're not coping any better? My right ear is by far my worst would make me want to know why there's such a difference in the two. I'd say ten times as worse

    Watching Foo's at Glastonbury (on TV) enjoyable. What do I look for now? Are the band wearing ear protection!! They are.. but Dave ain't!

    @Lurius I have had the same hypothesis. I suspect misophonia to play a role in tinnitus discomfort. There are people who never change the batteries in their smoke detectors and don't notice the beeping every 60 seconds, yet others immediately become agitated.

    @hopefuldede I didn't use earplugs on stage or at practice for a long time, and when I did I would often take the one out of my left ear halfway. I had the same problem Grohl has - they took me out of environment and I couldn't connect with the performance. My left ear is much worse than my right. But it still didn't stop my right from becoming bad.

    Dave Grohl doesn't even seem to give a shit or have the hint of worry that it may worsen his T. How i'll never know. :-/

    I did a half marathon race today - As my comrade @DeanD echoed 'do things you (used to) love even if you hate it at the start. F.U T!

    Does running make your tinnitus worse? I use to run a lot before getting T really miss running with my podcast on.
    DeanD
    Love it!!! - well done!!

    @Ryan Scott I ran and trained hard before T. Now I still run but not as much competing as I used to. I don't listen to anything and cover my ears as best I can with a buff or headband. Yes it raises after a run but is back down 20 mins later

    I've had a spike (10 days*) increase in volume Flipping the coin between recent covid infection versus a four year old screaming beside me

    Ugh! Follow up ENT appointment today. Ears look fine, nose looks fine. Didn't address the pressure feeling and crackling like a crisp bag.
    H
    I need to arm myself with good earplugs for the likes of restaurants or bars (not for construction work) any reccomendations

    I've never been the type of person to use a hair dryer though. So no idea what the lowest setting is in terms of dB. Better safe than sorry.
    H
    @makeyourownluck thank you hope you had a better day. Yea I keep on lowest setting, wear protection and it takes me 5 mins to dry xx

    Have not used a hair dryer much at all since T onset but if I had to I protect yes.

    If it's gotten worse - can it get better?
    S
    Hopefully it will :)

    I ask this as well since I've only worsened. I think co factors messed me up

    it can get better. I've had stretches of time where I thought I was going to die, but i've also had long stretches of time where T was not a big problem. Try to focus on activities you love and keep busy.
