Good to know. I won't use them again.

Thanks! I actually did wear them when the plane started descending but did not have any pain at all. I also never had problem, equalising pressure when flying anyway. So I guess if my eardrums got damaged, I would notice it right?

Very interesting thread, which I probably should've read before flying. I flew about 11 hours yesterday, from Germany to the US and my T is spiking right now. I sat at the window pretty much right beside the engines. I thought it was pretty loud. Take off and landing were fine, but the noise...

Sucks to hear. I also had a setback at work today. I took out something from a closet and I accidentally pulled out the plate. It fell on the closet's floor and the sound was extremely loud. My ears were ringing really bad and I couldn't hear anything a few seconds after. Seems like stupid stuff...

Yeah, I am trying to do that too and keep listening to music on headphones to a minimum. But if I'm on a train, it's the only option to listen to music. And I really don't wanna give that up. I'm also really careful about my ears all the time, so accidents like this are even more annoying.

Hello, I'm new to the forum and it helped my quite a lot so far. I'm 21 years old and have had a mild tinnitus for a few years. I've been playing drums for about 12 years and guitar for about five. Therefore it's no secret, where the ringing is coming from. I used to think earplugs aren't cool...

Last week, I accidentally cranked up my iPod's volume to max when I wanted to grab something from my pocket. I was exposed to the extremely loud noise for about 2-3 seconds before I could take the earbuds out. My tinnitus, which I've had for a few years now, caused by loud drums, has gotten...
