Honestly, I used to do that. I just put in earplugs and wore them the whole time. I think I still can do that but a few months ago I had a eustachian tube problem so to be overly careful I put on the ear muffs so that I didnt block ear. Really I dont think it matters and next time I will use...

I just want to give some advice to those travelling on airplane with tinnitus. I was very concerned about this at one point myself. When I fly I really fly. From Asia to Boston. That is about 20 hours in the air within a day usually. The last flight day I had was. 6 flights. Chiang Mai to...

I have T and fly very long flights to Asia from US. 20 hours in the air within a 30 hour span. Worst case scenario. I use foam air plugs the entire time. I have tried air muffs for shorter flights but the foam air plugs are most comfortable. Make sure you insert them correctly. I dont have a...

I've had Tinnitus from acoustic trauma for a couple of years now and I have managed to avoid or protect myself against very loud sounds. Yesterday however I was in a parking lot and a child's balloon popped about 12 feet away from me. Because we were surrounded by concrete walls the sound was...

I was walking through a parking garage and just about to leave when a child's balloon popped about 12-15 feet away from me. I've read that a balloon pop is as loud as a gun shot. Lets say it was 140 decibels. At 12-15 feet away what would the decibels be? Another factor is the concrete walls...

Thank you for replying. I'm not sure what kind yet. Are there certain steroids I should avoid? Besides prednisone which ones are safe? Thank you for answering. I appreciate it. Anthony C, A moment agoEditDeleteReport #4BookmarkQuote

↑ I've had pain in my tail bone for quite a while now and have been avoiding medications and steroid injection for fear of ototoxicity. Anyone here have an injection with T increase side affect? I'm thinking if the injection is far from ear it won't have an affect. Any thoughts? Seems like all...

Hi Cheza I took your advice and posted a thread about finding an oral surgeon in Thailand. I hope your sleep has improved. I only sleep when Im dead tired. My schedule is off and I go to sleep at 6 in the morning. Im self employed so I can do that. When I wake up in the afternoon I have maybe 3...

Hi, I live in the Chiang Mai area of Thailand and I need to get my wisdom teeth out. Im very concerned about how the drilling will affect my Tinnitus. They have told me that my wisdom tooth needs to be cut up to remove. If there is anyone out there that lives in the area that can recommend a...

I thought the same thing and will be seeing another oral surgeon to see what they say. Im in Thailand so there is a language problem as well. Nobody seems to know what Tinnitus is. Ive read that those in the dental industry have a great risk of getting it because they are exposed to the noise...

Thank you for all your input. Its so depressing. I saw the oral surgeon today and he said that it was very likely that I would experience a numb jaw after the procedure. He is almost certain. The wisdom tooth is impacted right on the nerve. So not only do I have to worry about increased T I also...

Hi, I need to get my wisdom teeth removed which are impacted. They need to cut my tooth into four parts to remove it. Im concerned about what the drill noise will have on my Tinnitus. They have given me the option of putting me unconscious (General Anesthesia) or just novacaine (local...

I just want to thank Steve. Your Ball Melody has really saved my life. Something about those sounds works for me. Just know that the time you put into making those audio files was so worth it and you should know that it is appreciated.

Thanks Mark, I need to get some pro earplugs. A
