    Sat in the back of my friend's revved up car not warned how goddamn loud it would be - Having a noise increase :/ I still don't really feel all that polite jamming my fingers in my ears every time its loud, but sometimes you need to I suppose!

    Since getting this it has made me want to explore audiology as a career pathway. It's alarming how many unempathetic experiences people have had with the initial realization of having tinnitus. I think about how unprepared I was at first - I think I really needed someone who got it to help me...

    Went and saw Nosferatu and have had a noise increase since :/ That's on me for not having my earplugs in the entire time. But also: Why are cinemas so goddamn loud? Or can they mix the movie so it's not going to deafen me every time something interesting happens...!

    I got Decibullz for this reason: highest NRR and they're mouldable to your ears so they don't fall out. A bit pricier but they're my go to for total noise reduction.

    It's been louder for me for a few days now. I'm grateful that the anxiety isn't here towards it anymore - but it's still annoying to sit through and can be hard reminding myself to try and tune it out over and over again. I'm getting there.

    I just feel pretty lame standing in the corner with my earplugs in while my friends aren't even second guessing the noise level :( Such a joykill

    There needs to be more tinnitus support here in Aus, tempted to start a support group for my city so I feel less alone... Selfish maybe. Ha

    Desperate Cry for Help: Severe Tinnitus After Going to Bar with Loud Music

    Hi @wheatley. I empathize deeply with what you're experiencing right now, and I believe everyone on this forum can relate. The initial stage of tinnitus feels surreal, like you're in limbo, constantly panicking, desperately searching for anything that might help, only to be told there's nothing...

    I wouldn't say you have to cop all of that blame. 1 person could go out and experience decades of noise exposure and end up with T, whilst the other experiences the same and doesn't end up with ringing in their ears. Why is that? I think there needs to be more studies and faith into the genetics...
