    I only wore earmuffs when an airplane or sirens came around, or when I left my room. Oddly enough, my t has been better today.

    On a positive note, my LDLs are going up. Except for high frqcy sound, my ldls are between 60-70. I was able to spend today without earplugs

    I had to wear double hearing protection 24/7 bc my LDLs were so low. Probably near 0 db at some point. Right now it's probably at around 60 db or so. It doesn't seem like yours are that low, so I would suggest finding a quiet place in your home where you can be without any protection.
