    War in Ukraine — Megathread

    Right here: What is happening today is terrible and I definitely do not support the Russian operations in Ukraine. But I believe both parties (USA/NATO and Russia) have their share of responsibility.

    Favourite Video Games?

    I am playing Cyberpunk since the next-gen patch was released. And... that's awesome :D It's really the kind of game I love (combination of role playing, shooting and driving). And I am really glad I waited for that patch. It was so different when I tried it last year (the main issue was that...

    Favourite Video Games?

    I loved Horizon, and can't wait for the sequel! I am currently playing Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, which is amazing graphic wise and gameplay wise, and finished Lost Judgment recently (although, I still have some side cases to finish). The latter is a detective game set in Tokyo and Yokohama...

    Poll: Should Noise Pollution Be Prohibited by Law?

    Sorry to read this. I hate those kind of idiots. How long did it last? Regarding the level, I think 150 dB may be a bit overestimated. I would say this kind of sound, without muffler, is about 120 dB max. Congrats for keeping your calm. I tend to get very short tempered in this kind of situation.

    Things People Say When You Tell Them You Have Tinnitus

    One of my friends told me, "Oh, I couldn't" [bear this]. Which is probably the most annoying answer I could think of. It's not like we have the choice.

    Loudness of Glass Breaking?

    This. You'll experience worse than this breaking glass in the future.. and I'm sure you'll be fine too. But I can't blame you, I checked that thread after a similar incident myself. Of course everything was fine afterwards. Your spike may be anxiety induced.

    Can I Go to a NHL Game? Could It Make My Tinnitus Worse?

    Well, it's loud. But how loud is it at the ear level of most spectators? 100 dB? 90 dB? It is very brief so I believe it wouldn't do damage, especially with earplugs on. I would be more scared of foghorns used by nearby spectators. All things considered, I think it would be safe to go with...

    How Damaging Are Blow Dryers to Hearing and Tinnitus?

    Right. I've never been near a professional clipper, it may be louder. Anyway, you are right to bring foam earplugs. I tried once with custom made silicone earplugs and the noise of the shaver against the skin was really annoying.

    Will You Get Vaccinated for Coronavirus (COVID-19)? Can It Make Tinnitus or Hyperacusis Worse?

    Nope, but I am waiting for the French vaccine (Sanofi), which should be launched in several months. It is a recombinant protein vaccine and not an ARN-based one. Although, I may have to get jabbed with one of those before Sanofi's is released, because here in my country we are kind of forced...

    Bummer: Cicadas & Crickets Make My Tinnitus Worse?

    From inside a house with open windows? Hard to tell, probably less than 40 dB I would say. Does it cover your voice when you speak? Human speech is about 60 dB at one meter, if I am not mistaken. You can try to compare it to this.

    Boulogne sur Mer, north of France. Where do you live in Romania? I spent some time in Timisoara but didn't see street art there either ^^

    Look what they did just next to my house, just a couple of weeks ago :) (I live in a coastal city with a big fishing port) This is really awesome. And they did other ones in another part of my street ^^ I'll show them later. Artists are James Bullough, Onur and Aaron Li Hill
