It's amazing to read that this device is actually helping some people. So much has happened since three years ago!

Well I just went.. they tried to watch it a bit, but I still think I got exposed to way too much noise.. So far im not noticing anything different, but my jaw is definitely tired and it aches, as well as my ears. Hopefully I won't get a surprise tinnitus later in the day/week... I'll keep track...

Oh man... Well I guess I will just have to face this. My appointment is in an hour, pretty nervous lol. I'll explain my situation to the dentist though and will see if he can drill for smaller periods. Thanks for the advice everyone!

Hi everyone! It hasn't been too long since my concert question, yet I am already facing a new challenge. I am going to have to get fillings replaced at the dentist tomorrow, and the dentist on its own scares me, let alone with all these ear problems I have since recently. Unlike a concert, I...

Hey! Of course not! I've reported back a page ago I think haha. But the venue was between 95 to 105 dB at peak levels. I skipped the opening act to curb risk and to spend more time with an old friend. I stood in the middle/back and wore foam earplugs and had peltor muffs with me just in case...

Hello everyone! Just thought I'd report back here. I went to the concert. Stood in the back and only went for the main act and skipped the supporting act altogether to curb risk and hang out a bit longer with a friend I didn't see in two years. The db levels were between 95 and 105 db's and I...

I'm going to see Hatari :D :whistle: :oops: hahaha. The venue is apparently medium sized, not too big not too small. And I've even sent an e-mail to the venue to ask about dB levels. Don't know if they're gonna reply though.

I really want to do this, but I am worried that once I walk out I won't be able to get back in or that my spot is gone. How do people manage to do this? And how many breaks are needed do you think? This is good to know. Thanks! I'll keep this in mind tonight while watching the dB levels. @Lane...

I was just naming an example. If it's consistently over 100 dB I'll probably walk out. And I don't just have earplugs I'll also bring ear muffs with me that I'll wear over them. I should be able to at least filter out 30 dB with that. Therefore if a concert is 100 dB, my protection will probably...

I definitely understand where you're coming from. And I definitely don't want to seem disrespectful or anything of everyone's experiences here. I'm trying to have common sense about it. All of your comments weigh on my mind and definitely contribute to me being super cautious during the concert...

I do appreciate everyone's advice. Of course I know that regarding my hearing, it's the best decision not to go, that's obvious. And your advice will always be the best and the smartest thing to do. However, people should also be informed how to take the stupid decision in the best way possible...

I am actually going this coming Tuesday! I have to say that I'm quite nervous, but I'm super prepared. I bought foam plugs that have been rated as the best and are known to filter out about 35 dB. Im also bringing my decibelmeter to check the sound levels, and I have bought peltor muffs that...

I have to say you guys did not really supply me with the answers I was hoping for lol but I was already expecting this. I just wish there was some way to know how loud the venue is going to be prior to going. Are there any websites on this subject? Or apps that keep track of these things?

Thank you for all the replies. I think i'm just going to bring foam plugs as well as peltor muffs. I have to say that I'll always be nervous to do things like this especially after reading some experiences here. And I am doubting whether I should. I am just a really big fan of this band and I...

For the first time since getting my (probably somatic) tinnitus, I am going to go see a concert. I do however want to protect myself as much as possible, and I am considering to even buy Peltor muffs to put on if the noise is still too loud. However, preferably I would like to just wear...
