I was outside when a police car approached and turned a corner without the siren on. Suddenly, it activated the siren very close to me—probably just 5 to 10 meters away. Startled, I quickly sprinted into a nearby snack bar. I had a decibel app running at the time, and as you can see from the...

...sounds without it spiking up as much as it has been. There is another tone that primarily lives in my left ear, and it sounds a bit like a siren or a radio gone haywire that glides up and down in pitch all day long. Occasionally it will remain on one pitch at either 1 kHz or 3 kHz and echo...

Well, I experienced the dreaded 60 (approx) feet away ambulance siren complete with air horn. Plugged my ears with the flaps, about 20 seconds of noise, seemed longer of course and my tinnitus flared and headache, etc. Anxiety has skyrocketed. Any thoughts or words of wisdom? Thanks—When I am...

Hi all, I was recently exposed to a somewhat loud ambulance siren, I'd say about 50 feet away from where I was standing. The sound originated from our street while I was still inside of my home, though our windows were open. I was only exposed for a split second before covering my ears, but...

...myself. English is not my first language, but I'm fluent with it. I'm 44 and my predicament with T started in July 2015 when my car's siren set off in my building's garage. I was close to the car but I tried to run away from it, cover my ears. When it paused I tried to get in the car to...

...noticed I was still hearing the faint sound of the fire alarm. It was so faint I thought it was coming from outside but it's persisted for hours now. Now if I focus in silence I can still hear the sound of the siren faintly and I'm terrified I'll be stuck with this. Could someone help me...

Today the loudest siren, sounding like an air horn, went on for 10-15 seconds across the street at the childcare centre. I was inside the house with front door opened, so some 25-30 meters away. I’ve been in tears all afternoon as I feel my ears are burning which I take is not a good sign. I...

...last Saturday - April 18th 2020 - while doing some drill on the fire apparatus floor. One of the rookies accidentally sets up the firetruck siren - Inside a closed garage. And the level of decibels and frequency was just excruciating. Just as I thought I have gotten over the worst of my...

I was walking about 30 feet from a firehouse. The siren went off all of a sudden. I can hear this siren from 15 blocks away so it's very loud. I'd never heard it go off at this time of day before so I wasn't expecting it. I was just 30 feet away from it. I was walking with a friend so I was...

I’ve had bad timing this week and today while waiting outside to enter a funeral home, an ambulance siren decided to blare its horn. Luckily I had -29 dB foam earplugs inserted and was about 15-20 feet away from it but I panicked and am afraid that my tinnitus will permanently spike. I’m...

Whenever I have been exposed to an ambulance siren as an example, from a distance, and then I put on earmuffs and it feels like the sound gets stuck in my head. I'm hearing it right now, it's like a loop of the sound I heard going over and over and it is slowly fading. The same thing happened...

...But last month a strange sound appeared out of the blue. At first a strange beeping like a telephone and later a sound like ambulance siren. At first these sounds occurred principally when I play white noise, like bathroom heater or in the traffic but now the situation is worse and I always...

...to cope with it and actually live a normal life again. Unfortunately, I was jogging the other day. Everything was fine until I heard a police siren go by. I did not think much of it. It was far away. So, no harm to my ears. But, after it left, the siren sound continued and now I am left with...

I was on the pavement when an ambulance sped past me with the siren on leaving me with muffled hearing (it feels like partial deafness) and ear pressure people say ambulance sirens are around 120 to even 130 dB so I'm really scared I've had my hearing damaged.

Hi all, I was standing on a bus two days ago with all the windows open, and we got stuck next to an ambulance blaring it's siren. It was literally 3 meters from me, and as the windows were open I may as well of been standing outside next to it. I was wearing silicone earplugs, and I also...
