When my girlfriend's daughter (17 years old) had COVID-19 in April, she was getting an ear pain in one ear and had very sensitive ears. She couldn't even really listen to her music on her headphones as she typically would. Fortunately, that all faded away. She is just still waiting for her...

Okay, explain to me how this is nonsense. Disprove what they found (78 out of 100 people with something on their heart). These were also asymptomatic or mild cases included. Are you suggesting the researchers are making this up? There are other studies too showing swimmers with mild cases...

Stats in my area show this is 5 times deadlier than the flu. Hardly just marginal. I also know people who work in hospitals. It was God awful in March and April in my area. If there were not shutdowns, there would have been people dying in parking lots and homes. You wouldn't have had much...

Surprised to see so many people on this forum in particular still equating this with the flu or a cold or some kind of conspiracy. I know several people who have gotten this including my girlfriend's daughter....who still doesn't have her full taste after three months. This is not a typical...

I wore ear plugs and headphones for several abdominal MRIs over a few yr period. Never had an issue with my ears or my T.

https://nypost.com/2020/07/31/covid-19-survivors-may-lose-hearing-sense-of-smell-and-taste/ That is concerning. When I visited Dr. Jastreboff back in 2017 for TRT, he suggested my type of hearing loss was perhaps from a virus. Fortunately, I've habituated to my T and don't want to get...

I'm not sure if you would only want to use the masker in one ear or not - I would think both ears still as you're attempting introduce a new sound to the brain so that it's focus is turned away from the ringing if you will. For a hearing aid, maybe one ear is fine... but I'm not sure. Most...

I've been doing TRT since March 2017 (met with Dr. J). I feel it has only increased my habituation very slightly. My entire problem is on "loud days" which are 4 week on average although it can vary. Quiet days are so low that it never bothered me. But on loud days, I can easily hear it in...

You seem to want to argue. I've had lots of louder exposures in my life (music, home theater, etc.) It was an odd combination of somewhat loud sound and weird sounds. It just sounded very strange.

4-5 days a week my T is so loud that I can hear it in the shower. The other 2-3 days a week it's very quiet that I barely can hear it. Ear noise generators have helped to a point. Wearing them takes my mind off the T especially on loud days. Should help with gradual habituation if you wear...

They The Headphones were the trigger for sure. I visited Dr. Jastreboff and he said based on tests, my hearing loss was not typical of that from acoustic damage over time but perhaps viral/flu or caused from a medication (although I've never taken an ototoxic med) . The headphones even at a...

Digital doc, I actually got my Tinnitus from poor quality headphones (in Nov 2014). I was doing some online training at my job - borrowed a pair from a co-worker who warned me they were "not very good" (what an understatement!). I plugged them into my computer to listen and the volume on...

Thanks. So do you listen to music with these as they do the canceling? Totally unfamiliar with them.

Are noise cancelling headphones where you can listen to music? I have just basic ear protection headphones such as when mowing the lawn.

I had my upper right molar extracted a couple of days ago (#3 tooth) as I will be getting an implant. He did have to use the drill for several very brief moments (5 seconds, etc.) but it was very loud and temporarily hurt my ears. It did spike my Tinnitus, but not until an hour after I left...
