Completely agree with that... I think the human brain isn’t really prepared to this amount of stimulation. I mean porn is pretty recent in human history. In the ancient times you could spend a whole life without seeing the quarter of what you have access to nowadays in 1 week of traditional porn...

A completely silly question from a tortured man by tinnitus. Can tinnitus be aggravated just by looking at some porn pictures? I explain myself, I'm in a sort of sexual abstinence (NO FAP) and try to control as much as I can my sexual arousal and of course I avoid watching porn... But once in a...

@RingerBell So for you is there any risk ?

@Bill Bauer Yes it is in fact all i want to know ! How to know when you had an acoustic trauma apart from the traditional T symptom ? Ears fullness ? Pain when the noise pop ? Is that all ?

Thanks you @Tinker Bell ! I really do not thank you because you told me what i wanted to hear but because i wanted the rationality side that i miss so much since T. When i hear a loud noise, i start the game "If this loud noise was so much powerfull that it would give me a new T ? Did i just had...

@robHing I'm completly agree ! That's the reason why i'm so concerned ! But do you think that an exhaust system of a motorcycles who rev up loudly his engine at 50 feet from where you are with the exhaust not in your direction and for 4 seconds max could cause you to get a new T ?

@robHing You make me very scared ! i have the feeling that i did a big mistake ! Jogging in a Park ... i was at 50 feet from the road.. what else could i do ? I was doing a jog like a normal human being ! Damn, no way to run with ear muff in a park even if it's still near the road.

Ok many thanks ! it help to take some distance from it. But i always tell myself "why you didn't plug your ears"... i knew that some bad motorcycles were coming but they weren't rev up their engines, so i thought i could be good waitting for them to pass, but it wasn't the case. I just have to...

@Julien87 Yes i'm french too, i wanted to share it but i thought it won't be useful for the community ;) I'm from Bordeaux ! And you which city ? Still focused on that exhaust sound anyway. 50 ft (15 mètres) are you sure there is no way to get ear damage with that kind of distance ? It was so...

@Julien87 A big Thanks for the rational side !! the limit between unpleasant sounds and harmfull noises is so thin that i can't do anymore the difference between them.

Hi, i just can't understand why they are so loud (motorcycles exhausts). Yesterday I was doing some running in a park where the path is nearby the sidewalk and the road. I was maybe at 50 feet from this motorbike who decide just at the moment where we crossed each other to accelerate like hell...

@Tinker Bell : It was a standard consumer one with steam generator.. Thx for your point of view ! It's exactly what i thought, the frequencies was really unpleasant ! @Davey126 : A big thx too, i think it's the anxiety from that unpleasant noise for sure but at that moment i couldn't figured...

Today my mom was using it while I was walking near by her and she released a big "PssssshhhhhhhhHHhhh"... I was maybe at 10 feet. It was a very unpleasant sound! It didn't hurt though but I am very scared because the noise was really loud. Is there a way to get damage from that kind of noise?

The same for me. But i was wondering if playing Tennis could cause an acoustic trauma ... I find it ridiculous but i don't really know..

Up Is there any danger playing Tennis with Tinnitus ? Cause the other day i made exactly the same noise, a big "Pow/Pop" when the ball hit the racket and it scared me because i found it loud, actually i didn't felt pain but the noise was very unpleasant metallic and loud. After i managed to...
