It does; it can make it worse.

How can I enjoy life being homebound, unable to meet friends, unable to attend events, unable to love and be loved, and even unable to do dental work without worsening my tinnitus and having to take Prednisone? People have different goals in life, mine was always not to be alone and I end up...

The occlusion effect for me is off the charts, I can hear even my arm moving, my whole body moving, every step, really I can't even walk. In foam earplugs the occlusion is WAAAAAAAAAY lower, like day and night. For me in foam earplugs the problem is that I can't hear people, occlusion effect is...

@kingsfan, @ZFire, @Damocles, my ACS earplugs arrived, and... ...I'm going to cry because they're horrible. The occlusion effect is so big that I can even hear my head turn, every step is like atomic bomb and let's not even talk about the talking... I don't know what to do now. It was my last...

TTTS attacked me today, a first day at my new job. Really? Tomorrow I have a whole day of trainings and I'm doomed if it don't resolve today

As an update I bought both ACS-26 and ACS-27 with their respective molds (both thinner and wider sound tube) so I'll test all of the 4 combinations possible with them, I just don't want any "what if?" questions. Thankfully I secured a job this week (100% remotely!) so I just bought them both. I...

They probably mean that ordering via their webshop, which is an automated process, is only available to UK customers and they encourage you to go with your local ACS partner. They're happy to help if there's none. BUT you need to remember about Brexit, it would mean import duty and it's a long...

https://www.scheinhardt.de/ - You should contact them via e-mail. You need to send them your ear impressions but before you do, you can send them photos of the ear impressions so they'll tell you if they're looking fine or should be redone. Here are the guidelines for your audiologist that...

From what they're saying, both Pro27 and Pro26 molds are compatible with Pro20 now. With Pro27 mold you will attenuate more high frequencies as it has a thinner sound tube inside. Something is wrong with your mold if Pro20 filter doesn't fit tight. I'm curious how's the occlusion effect on the...

So another update: Yes now all the filters are compatible between Pro 27/26 and below as the filter hole is now identical, the problem is that the sound tube inside is still different in the Pro27 mold which affects high frequencies (Pro26 is wider and lets more high frequencies through, Pro27...

@Damocles @kingsfan Big Info from ACS DE partner which I order earplugs with: It says on the internet that you can't switch to the Pro 27. However, that is no longer true. At that time, a different hole was used in the hearing protection for the Pro 27 filter. All hearing protectors are now...

To be honest I don't know which I'd like more, I don't have any decent comparison :( I want to freely interact with my friends and go to meetups with them and small parties (without blasting music). I don't want too little protection to make my tinnitus worse or too much so I don't hear anyone...

Thanks for your reply! I will use them mainly to socialize with my friends, go to a little (4-8 people) meetups, maybe go to a bar with them too down the line depending on how I will feel in them (as they have less attenuation than foam earplugs, I don't know how much they can take before it's...

Can't decide if I need a grip and if I should go with the Pro26 or Pro27 :( Any ideas? @Damocles, @Liam92, @kingsfan?

Someone here has ACS Customs earplugs? Should I order them with a grip or without?
