I’ve had mild tinnitus for a few years now and have been in a psychotic episode for about 3 months now. It is likely that I will be diagnosed with schizophrenia with the way things are going. For those that have both tinnitus and schizophrenia, what tips would you give for protecting my ears...

I snowboard and sometimes when I fall hard (I fall all the time) my tinnitus spikes for about a minute. There isn’t a loud noise when it happens so I know I’m not damaging my ears but why does this happen? Is it because of the stress on my body when I impact the ground? I feel like anxiety also...

Assuming both are inserted correctly and fit appropriately. Do foam ear plugs provide the best protection money can buy? I’m not talking about comfort or about quality of sound but simply effectiveness alone. When I am using earplugs that’s all I care about and want to have the most decibel...

Mine is back to baseline like I said. It’s crazy how something like that can cause a spike though. Hopefully yours gets better soon.

Today during my game I got hit hard in the head running after a catch and my tinnitus spiked LOUD at the moment of contact. It spiked for about 5 seconds then returned to my normal baseline. Why did it spike for only a short time, then return to normal? Do you guys think I experienced some...

Why is the highest rated decibel rating for ear plugs around 30-35 decibels? I was thinking about this recently and if someone were to create some kind of extreme protection like 60 or 70 decibel reduction ear plugs/ear muffs that would be a godsend to the tinnitus community. It would allow...

I have had a constant static hiss 24/7 for about one year but ever since I first heard it it never bothered me at all. I thought it was nothing. Then I later learned about tinnitus from a YouTube video. Unless I began reading forums/watching YouTube videos and obsessing about it after hearing...

How can I be a troll if I have tinnitus also? It’s a valid question as humans can’t double task so if you are hearing multiple tones at once then they must blend into something new. If you mix red and blue paint together you don’t see red and blue separately they mix into a new color. My other...

The problem was assuming it couldn’t get significantly worse. Of course I know that’s not true now but if it really was a nothing to lose kind of situation it would be a very reasonable thing to consider if you had severe tinnitus in my opinion.

No problem! I honestly do not know the brand of helmet I think it may have been Sena but I watched CycleCruza on YouTube and one or two of his videos mentioned it which I will link in this post. He has lots of helpful videos about safety gear which I recommend and I bought a lot of things he has...

Someone on here told me they hear multiple tones at once. I don’t quite understand what they mean. Do you hear one tone then a few seconds later hear another tone at separate times or do you hear them all at once. If you hear a hiss, a roar, and a high pitched ring at the exact same time...

Lmao I know it’s an exaggeration but if it was actually 300 decibels everyone within a few square miles of you would be killed instantly.

I ride a dual sport motorcycle (XR650L) and I have rode it with tinnitus for about a year now. I went on many long full day trips on it to different spots in my area. I haven’t noticed any spikes from riding my motorcycle. I would suggest it but make sure to wear ear plugs at ALL TIMES when...

Thanks for all your replies. Sorry if I offended anybody it wasn’t my intention and I know that many of you are suffering greatly because of this horrible condition. I was just curious as I can’t quite comprehend what it’s like having tinnitus so severe. I thought there would be some sort of cap...

Has anyone here that has very severe, debilitating tinnitus that are basically on the verge of suicide, thought about/went through with purposely exposing themselves to amounts of noise you usually wouldn’t expose yourself to and just let go. I’d think that if your life is destroyed to that...
