You're the one making the claim, not me. A lot of children, teenagers, many people under 40 have that flat line. Also, a flat line at zero is not a good indicator. What if you're able to hear +1 dB HL but not zero? In your audiogram, this will show as a +5 dB HL reading. This doesn't indicate...

Not true at all.

Not true. From the posts it seems that they only tested up to 8 kHz. They may have hearing loss above that range.

Did they test frequencies above 8 kHz? If they did, then they used two different headphones, so you might remember that?

Not sure if this is going to work for people with hearing loss above 8 kHz.

Thanks, I ordered the Alpine MusicSafe ear muffs. Perhaps I'll buy the Peltor X4A as well (it's rather cheap, so why not). This way, I can try what's best and most comfortable for me without spending much money. Since Sunday, I just put my Alpine earplugs in my ear before leaving my house...

I guess I could try that. I never said I was going to use earbuds to protect hearing. Why should I? I have earplugs and I use those occasionally. I have ordered ear muffs so I'll try those as well. I just think those look silly on you when you wear them outside compared to earplugs that are...

You mean the "motor cycle faggot." Southpark once dubbed motor cyclists who make excessive noise for no reason as "faggots" and I just copied it. Second, I am pissed at that guy. I guess that's why. I don't mind if someone wants to destroy his own hearing, just don't drag others along with...

Yes, they do go inside the ear canal indeed. Ear in phones also go pretty far in your ear (not as far as earplugs though). Good thing you mentioned it, I actually have to clean them yet. Haven't done it since I bought them. I did get a tool to clean them though but was too lazy to do it so far...

Fair enough, but that sound was there for 2 to 3 seconds at most. I am talking about those kinds of sounds where you can not anticipate for it to happen and thus can't really be alert for it. Blocking my ears with the tragus was all I could do. Getting an ear muff out of my back pocket and put...

I get new noises sometimes as well. Very low pitched tone that comes and goes away after a few seconds. Tinnitus is a weird thing and often predictably unpredictable. You already went to an ENT I guess, so what did he tell you?

But then I guess you're always at a risk. What more could I have done than blocking my ears instantly after hearing the motor cycle faggot? I hope that I don't have any damage in that right ear. Or I could wear ear muffs 24/7?

Why not?

Doesn't apply to me unfortunately. I barely had loss if at all and my T was horrifying at the start. Got better after 3 months or so.

This is exactly what I did when hearing that sound. But obviously the sound wave shock had already entered my right ear. I felt a little pain and even felt that pain extending to my right jaw. Some motor cycly faggot decided to turn up the volume. My T has not been affected by it, but it...
