I agree. Also in the ER they cannot do anything except give me neuroleptic drugs. I have plenty of those at home. :)

...not muffling the loud noise enough now - I think earplugs only muffle around 20-something decibels? The latest spike was caused by an ambulance that went past me - I was wearing earplugs though. Is there any chance that my damn tinnitus will return to baseline? I suppose questions like...

How do you know it was caused by the vaccine?

Some hearing aids can be fitted with "plug" tips. I don't know how efficient they are noise blocking wise - but should give some protection vs. open ear canals.

...I've ever had. With my gap insurance ($120/mo), I pay zero out of pocket and pay a $240 deductible per year. Everything is covered: ER, ambulance, blood tests, imaging, specialists, cancer care, hospitalization, etc. Medicare is what America needs universally and should not be just for the...

...and today I have a tonal sound, constant, maskable, not reactive. And yes, if I find myself in a restaurant where suddenly they are going to play loud music, I always have a pair of earplugs with me. I do the same. If an ambulance or alarm starts suddenly, I protect my ears with my hands :)

What about an ambulance siren, no earplugs?

What exactly are the Democrats waiting for? Obama had plenty of time to get us Medicare for all when the Democrats had full control of the Senate and House. Instead, he gave us Romney Care.

Ambulance almost passed near me. I took a fast turn and drove away. Damn that was cheap

I'm so scared of loud noise worsening this that I carry sound blocking headphones in the car in case an Ambulance or Police siren is nearby.

Agh, I live in London. I bloody hate the sirens and motorbikes. The bane of my existence. Do sirens need to be that loud? Not sure. @Gateway, stay strong. Probability suggests you will recover. Have a hot bath and relax, that usually helps me. Wishing you all well, Sam

...a new siren type sound and it’s starting to drive me insane.. I have heard this sound before for short moments after being exposed to an ambulance siren but it has always gone away in 30-60 minutes. When I was in the car maybe a week ago an ambulance drove by blasting its sirens. I had...

Yes, there's a chance my friend.

i have fear. I always hear strange sound like ambulance siren...

...hearing rattlesnake noises around 4 PM. One morning, the noise was so intense, like a machine gun, that I had to go to the hospital by ambulance. Unfortunately, doctors often look at you as if you're crazy. Currently, I take a Valium when I wake up and two Endep tablets in the evening. I'm...

I've experienced something similar called palinacousis. Whenever I heard noises such as a cellphone ringing or a distant ambulance passing by, the sound lingered in my ears and repeated itself until it faded away from my consciousness. It's like having a song stuck on repeat in your head, which...

Mine only became reactive after I got the hyperacusis.

I didn’t blame immigrants for anything, so back the fuck up, Chuck. I said we need to close our borders to EVERYONE because, eventually, we won’t have any resources to support who is already here. Look at the wider picture beyond the end of your nose, dumbass. There are also rules to follow, and...

...services are free. You can see a doctor, a therapist, a physiotherapist, an ENT, or any healthcare specialist, all for free. If you need an ambulance to drive you to the hospital in an emergency, that is free, with no exceptions. Apparently, just being picked up by an ambulance in the US...

Does anyone think that if @bellecooper77 wasn't on prednisone the ambulance wouldn't affect her tinnitus?

I have always plugged my ears when an ambulance or police car goes past - and loud motorbikes - ever since I was a child - and I did not get tinnitus until 57. It is just instinct to protect your ears from excessive loud noises.

I need to cover my ears all the time when I encounter these sounds (ambulance, fire alarms, sirens,etc). It is way too risky and I just read that ambulance sirens are 120db and motorcycles are also 100db or so. Too dangerous :(

Both. But I meant symptoms improved, because there is no cure for any of these. It also helped me a lot in the bad days, the alternative was to call the ambulance.

Why are you people talking about lawyers and stuff? Look up the definition of ambulance chaser firms, nothing ever materializes out of this stuff. Just forget about it. This is a research thread, not a legal speculation one.

...75 mg for 7- 8 weeks, 37.5 mg for 7- 8 weeks, and approximately 15 mg for 4 weeks. I was about to stop taking Clomipramine, but then an ambulance drove past me. My tinnitus spiked (luckily hyperacusis was not affected), so to help me sleep I decided to take 112.5 mg for 2 weeks, 37.5 mg for...

In an emergency situation, I plug my ears with my fingers. It's not ideal, but I find I can leave the white noise generators in (and they sound louder) and still block some of the noise. At times, I've had to walk several blocks away from the noisy area (e.g., fire alarm, construction noise)...

Older tinnitus is sh.t as well, but having this rhythmic, cooing/distant ambulance like sound which is really hard to explain, is terrible.

...on quite a few occasions, it has never given me a permanent tinnitus increase. Remember, exposure time makes a huge difference, so an ambulance passing by at high speed would have only been seconds and really not long enough to have any long lasting impact on your tinnitus x I'm a big NAC...

First of all i feel good no anxiety and so but i hope it all Goes away. I have t and h . The t were 3 sounds and Some times i heard an ambulance sound and another sound triggerd from sound outside( the shower and car). Recently i worked on my laptop for 3 days straight and i noticed my ears...

Vacuum Cleaner, Ambulance, Fire Truck, Police Siren, etc

A high pitched tea kettle High pitched static on the radio A dentist's drill A fire engine / ambulance siren

And they only want $100,000+ clients so they get fatter commissions, they don't care about the little guys.

There is a hospital in the neighborhood where I live and ambulances pass by with sirens all the time. Honestly, I have never seen anyone in the street plugging their ears when an ambulance with a siren shows up. I believe the sound is 110 dB when you are standing right next to the ambulance...

...I never plugged my ears at classical concerts, even Mahler. Maybe the pitch of sirens is a problem for me. There is a good article here on ambulance sirens and noise induced hearing loss: Hearing Loss in EMS (hmpgloballearningnetwork.com) Here is an extract: So it definitely is a good...

...and custom-made silicon ones have similiar effectiveness against low-frequency sounds. But against higher frequencies - fire alarms, ambulance sirens et cetera - foam is much better. Not sure what plastic earplugs is, but if they don't enter the inner-ear canal, I advice you to scrap them...

Did you recover after being exposed to the fire alarm and ambulance siren?

...by the medical community/surgeons. I used to work in a law firm and while I did, two of the girls with implants had issues where an ambulance needed to be called. One had hers "pop" and another had it shift out of place (24 and 32). There was another girl who had butt implants and was...

...find a sound too loud... it's probably damaging, especially in a club environment. I mean "normal" people hearing dont shrug when an ambulance parks near them blaring it's siren. And let me tell you, a clubs normal volume can be as louder than an ambulance siren. If "normal hearing" people...

...making some strange noises in his throat. He got Terry to stop the car, got John out onto the pavement, told his grandad to phone for an ambulance, and started CPR on his uncle John at the roadside. Using cardio compression and mouth to mouth, he managed to revive him twice before the...

My tinnitus is just screaming in volume. I don't know how to describe it. Is it the usual or due to an ambulance siren? It's hard to tell. I so fucking hate life.

No, I've been in my car and ambulance pass right next to my car, it's probably anxiety, or if it's a spike, it'll subside :)

In my opinion, the chances of hearing damage from momentary exposure to an ambulance while wearing earplugs are slim to none. If you're having a spike, I think it could be from anxiety over the event, rather than from the sound itself.

I had very bad COVID-19 a few months ago and made a couple of trips to a hospital in an ambulance. I was worried the tinnitus would spike but my whole body was so messed up that nothing really mattered at that stage. It took me about 2.5 weeks to recover. I had a weird heavy feeling in my head...

...If I hear a car honk from a distance, the noise gets added to my tinnitus ringing. It can last to 30 minutes. Car honks, truck reversing beeping sounds, and ambulance sirens are some examples of sound that lingers with me. It’s beyond bizarre. I have hyperacusis and tinnitus that’s reactive.

My mom was admitted to hospital last night via ambulance. She is still waiting for a bed 9 hours later. Nobody can visit her and her phone is switched off. The whole situation is a nightmare.

Even with the windows down, an ambulance is still very loud. I would recommend to wear ear plugs as of now.

Not at all. Well I had to take a break from work when I experienced the headaches at the beginning of the year. The only problem I have at work is that when an ambulance passes by I have to plug my ears.

Can loud sounds actually cause brain damage? Any exposure to loud sounds by accident such as a passing by ambulance etc, horns make me feel brain dead and emotionless.

...I don’t think it made my ears more sensitive as I actually biked home today and when I got home realized I forgot to put my earplugs in! Of course I really would have noticed sooner if a motorbike or ambulance went by. I went even so far as to protect in the shower at first but now I don’t.

...I wish it will not be permanent. Because this will be a suffering. Yesterday was almost on zero level.Aa bit of beeping (I call it ambulance siren). During night I woke up because I had a HUGE hissing with a secondary hissing and the ambulance siren... then it calmed down for a bit...

I have the same. I have normal tinnitus and on top of that i hear exactly the noise of an ambulance at times. I hear it when i'm in the shower and in the car. And now for 2 or 3 days more often because i had very few sleep. It looks Like if the ambulance sound is triggerd by noise from the car...

I get this also, when an ambulance or police siren passes by, it stays in my head, it goes away eventually. Tinnitus has a mind of its own.

I was walking outside one winter day (before severe tinnitus) and there was an ambulance that passed by. I quickly covered my ears and nothing happened, no spike nothing.

Hi. I had pretty big spikes from unprotected exposure to fire alarms, ambulance sirens etc. but none of them gave me long lasting spikes. In fact my longest spikes are usually from anxiety

...the part of the brain that, simply, tells you what to pay attention to. When someone is walking down the street, talking to a friend as an ambulance races with its sirens blaring, it’s the thalamus that prompts you to pay attention to the ambulance and figure out what’s going on. Martinez...
