The volume is not measurable by any objective standards, I believe it went down. I don't know for sure though. My mindset was completely different. The part that is not gone doesn't bother me at all.

Certainly, everyone their story is different! And for me conquering my fear somehow made my tinnitus more tolerable and perhaps even quieter... My constant focus and fear of making it worse made it impossible to deal with it.

Hey everyone, This is what tinnitus and -my form- of hyperacusis was for me the last years. This is a personal experience, but it can tell you that time heals quite a lot. Mind you, my tinnitus was mild overall, but I believe that even sufferers from a heavier tinnitus can have a success...

A while since I've been here, thats because my T has almost completely gone and it does not disturb me any longer. 18m in it improved a lot.

Depends on your car, in the super early stage I might advise to use earplugs for older cars and bad roads and higher speeds. (this is far from scientific) Though. I know I've been using them too much, so I've gotten really sensitive to sound, it shaped my own H. I was even using them in my BMW...

A peak of 92 is even doable without earplugs, as long as it's not sustained for an hour or so. even with crappy earplugs there is nothing to worry about, even if it's sustained..

Been a while so I don't know anymore, guess I was googling about them. I used to have frequent spikes and google everything. (Possibly not the best thing.) The brand of my headphones were Philips btw, but I think it's the same for each type.

That's not really true though, for me a car passing by might sound too loud, doesn't mean it is too loud.

It is up the instructor, he should be aware of the potential dangers of what they are doing, and is responsible for the health and safety of their public in my opinion.
