    Earplugs keep falling out of my ears :/ idk if this is even viable, I might have to try different tip sizes. Kinda nervous to do that though since last time I went one size higher and it felt uncomfortable but might be because I didn't insert it correctly idk. This is annoying.

    I got Decibullz for this reason: highest NRR and they're mouldable to your ears so they don't fall out. A bit pricier but they're my go to for total noise reduction.

    @weehiru Yeah I've heard of them but, I've also heard people thought they were uncomfortable so I don't know if I will be able to wear them for a long commute. But maybe I should still give them a try, it's at least cheaper than buying custom earplugs from an audiologist.

    Buy custom-moulded silicon earplugs. I use GN Sleep plugs (Australia). Cost $152/pair. Knocks off ~40dB off ambient sounds. I have them in for most daytime hours.

    I wish I could go back to my previous baseline so bad now... :(

    Isn't it awesome to get blasted with literally every sound like the whole day. Totally didn't happen to me today, even with earplugs, holy shit, you can't make this shitty luck up...
    orenge01
    Seems like I'm fine. Gotta be more careful next time, I seem to lose my balance quite easily...

    I just fell on the stairs and hit my head... Just my luck... Hopefully nothing changed and things are normal. I hope

    no pain anymore it was probably something else causing that, but the ringing still persists in my left ear. Very loud. :/

    I just realized some songs don't sound the same to me anymore they sound so different, I think I have actually officially permanently worsened my hearing. :(

    How does the music sound? What happened?
    orenge01
    @snizzleberry I don't know how to explain it but I guess it's that I don't hear some frequencies anymore. So some songs sound like less lively than before. As I can't hear every element in the song.

    How this happened? I was making music for too long at low volume but then accidentally listened at max volume for 1 sec and listening to high end frequencies. But basically I was just really reckless.

    Didn't expect for this site to get updated. It's been a really long time coming. It'll take some time to adjust to this new look though.

    Hmm this spike seems to be lasting quite a while... Could possibly be a permanent increase but idk. Ugh... What a condition...
    orenge01
    Idk if it has improved I feel I lost like at least 20% of my hearing ability. And I can only blame myself for this one. :/
    orenge01
    That's what I get for being stupid I guess. I never seem to learn. Wishing for better days right now...
    orenge01
    Dont make my mistake. I hope I didnt absolutely wreck my hearing like the first time again. This is not fun. Sounds are all muffled again :/
    orenge01
    Don't you love it when T just suddenly decides to scream in your left ear as loud as possible for no reason, I sure do...
    orenge01
    Better now been better for a while. I'm not so bothered anymore. I don't want to jinx myself though.
    orenge01
    Just annoyed of this condition right now that's all, could also say I'm not really as accepted of this condition as I wanted to believe...
    orenge01
    feeling a bit better now, it comes and "goes" I mean it never disappears but I have kind of learned to accept that fact already...
    L along the way
    oh wow.. that's nice to read.. for me i find acceptance quite difficult, i'm living more on the philosophy of it will heal with time.
    orenge01
    That too, or that there will be a complete cure someday, but as long as it is here I don't want it to control my life. That doesn't mean I'm going to be completely reckless though.
    orenge01
    ugh it's back, I'm so done with this condition honestly, why. Just leave me alone for once.
    L along the way
    pfft indeed... give us a break plz t... maybe slowly we will recover and feel well again some day
    orenge01
    Not so blocked anymore I think hearing is returning to semi normal now, but unfortunately I think I have acquired myself some new tones...
    orenge01
    Well It's been three days now without any improvement voices still sound weird and such. I'm so tired of this condition.

    We all are! What caused your T?
    orenge01
    Most likely a combination of listening to music too loud and headphones making this kind noise in my ear: https://youtu.be/YsXgYZcEysY

    The noise is what really started it I think and it was horrible for months. But then it calmed down a bit in fact I completely forgot I had T for a couple of months this year. But then a couple of days ago the distortions came back almost like day one.
    orenge01
    It's hard. My left ear feels blocked and full. I'm afraid I have acquired myself more hearing loss. I hope this setback won't last for long.
