thanks michael! i appreciate all you do for this forum! i personally like to listen to music UPTO 80db. i never feel uncomfortable even to the slightest, and it helps with my overall mood all the time. is this ok?

I dont use headphones. what DB limit should I be going to for my portable bose speaker? when i get home from University i like to play music in my room. what limit should i keep the DB to?

Hey butterfly! firstly, thank you for always sharing your opinions on my thread. i really appreicate it. one thing i must say, the whole DB thing seems to be weird to me. there was a time last week where i was simply measuring the sound levels of EVERYTHING for hours. suprisngly enough, A LOT...

hey guys. been almost 3 weeks since i got it, no real improvement in terms of sound. I can barely hear it when outside (mind is distracted and sounds mask it), but when i get home, i can hear it all the time. volume is the same. still havent used apple earbuds since i got T. ( i used to listen...

so around 80DB MAX? after coming home from Uni, i like to play music around the apartment whilst working and cooking. is 80db Maxiumum ok?

thanks! What DB limit should i keep my music to from speakers?

It's hard for me to know what caused mine. I''ve had TMJ problems since last May, been listening to LOUD music daily for past 6 years, A LOT of ear wax (using olive oil currently) and it also started when I was extremely stressed and depressed. Also, I have terrible posture and my neck and jaw...

Hey everyone So I've had tinnitus for about 13 days. Regardless on my condition, I just wanted to know if tinnitus usually goes away for the world population. I'm not talking about people in this forum. I'm talking in general, if someone gets tinnitus...does the tinnitus usually go away? If...

so yesterday and today i went out again without earplugs. yesterday, went to the mall with my mum on the bus (loud) and inside the mall it was loud too. outside people were playing music etc. the DB i measured was mainly around 80db. today i went to cash a cheque, and took the bus. i bus was...

anyone else want to add anything? today i went out to the biggest mall in London, was noisey, went on the train and tram, noisey, however I never once felt uncomfortable I didnt wear any ear plugs. everything was fine. Now im in bed, and my T still sounds the same, maybe even a bit less quiet...

I wont be using any of the real dental machines/drills in the first year. i'll use a small bolt, almost like a pen, to craft a prosthetic mould of teeth. it's loud but thats pretty much it. with correct ear protection it shouldnt be harmful. wont be using it daily, simply for a day max

Oh i understand. However, pretty much 90% of dentists dont wear any sort of ear protection. of course, i dont know this for fact, but lets be honest, most dont. So say the average noise in the room is around 90db. with GOOD hearing protection you can lower your exposure significantly. If i was...

It sounds like the special ear plugs for dentists are tailor made to reduce the frequencies of the sounds produced by dental hand pieces Sorry, but i honestly can't tell what you mean by this? Is this a good thing or not? are you saying that the ear plugs only reduce frequencies for hand pieces...

I agree. I dont drink any coffee nor alcohol ever. hate coffee, and I am a muslim...so that answers the alcohol part. also funnily enough, im slowly transitionion into becoming a vegan. i feel like this will help too.

Thanks for this! i've taken precaution already. i used to listen to LOUD music through my headphones DAILY FOR 1-2 HOURS. i havent listened to a song since the past week. tried to avoid loud noises too.
