Some really cool electric motorbikes on the horizon make almost zero noise. I bought myself an electric moped (NIU M+) a few years ago to navigate city traffic, and it's one of the best purchases ever.

I'm just chiming in here after years of absence on Tinnitus Talk to offer some positive feedback and advice. I experienced similar issues to yours back in 2015 after an acoustic incident (gunshot). My hearing was severely affected—I couldn't stand certain loud or high-pitched noises. My...

My manager came down with (what is presumably) coronavirus last Tuesday evening. The source would be a friend of his who came back from a skiing trip in Italy and who was one of the first confirmed cases in Belgium. They spent 15 minutes together in the same car 5 days previously. My manager was...

Although subjective, i do believe my hearing recovered a bit over the years. In the beginning, my hearing suffered quite a blow and came back in the next couple of weeks (an audiogram taken 4 weeks after my trauma showed significant improvement over the one take days after my trauma). I...

sorry to hear that. That's exactly how my T started about 4 years ago. I had loud, intrusive T for the first year or so (multiple tones), ear pain that would come and go, hyperacusis to certain sounds, thumping eardrums and horrendous spikes and lost my shit down the line when nightly spikes...

Do it man! I started music production (mostly synthwave and Darksynth stuff) as a hobby last summer (about two years after my acoustic trauma) , as I had to quit my live rock band. Best decision ever, I am now able to produce music at my home studio at sensible levels, taking frequent coffee...

I use one of these, hardly makes any noise and is better for the environment, plus a good workout.

James Hetfield has T after a lifetime of playing loud metal, explosions on stage and shooting guns (there used to be an interview with Howard Stern on youtube where he talks about his T issues). Seems to deal with it rather well.

I bought this system recently, crystal clear quality at a good price: https://europe.yamaha.com/en/products/audio_visual/hifi_systems/mcr-n670d/index.html

@Tom Cnyc could modulate his T sound through eye movement if i remember correctly?

Went to see Red Sparrow with the missus recently, wore my -20 db Pluggerz earplugs. Average noise levels were by estimate 75 to 80 max with some peaks until 90 db. I’m still alive.. Would NOT recommend if your T is new, not settled and you’re still stressed/obsessing about it in the first year...

Thanks for being so honest, looks like you are taking some very important steps. Best of luck to you!

Great to see a personal hero of mine speak out about the need for hearing protection:

Took about two years to go away mostly, but sometimes it still flares up. It’s not painful in my case, just bloody annoying. Time, relaxation, gradual exposure to noises over time, good protection around loud noises, etc made it a non-issue for me now (akthough i still have T of course). It...
