So I was at my local airport, it's quite small so only turbo prop planes land here. And only 2-3 spots for them to park. Usually I have no issue flying, but last time our plane was late so we were directed out onto the tarmac when another turbo prop plane was parking less than 10m away... With...

Mine has got worse in 3 notable stages. At onset I could mask it with light wind outside and only hear it to an annoying degree in a silent room. Then randomly 5 months later I had multiple small increases (proabnky due to working in a moderately loud envoronment) . Still its was just about...

So today I thought I'd pop my ears as my right ear felt dull in hearing. I think it's perforated as when I've previously popped it made a sound like air is passing through every time. This time I had been using ear drops. The combination of air moving through and liquid made a loud squelch...

So I forgot that I had my 16 dB reduction plugs in my pocket when I was waiting in line at a bar. The big speakers were only 6m or so from me with smaller speakers dotted round the whole place. It was loud enough that you had to raise your voice in someone's ear for them to hear you, but...

They didn't give me drops as the only drops they had in were steroid based. Could be coincidental but when I used a fluxonase steroid spray a few months ago I immideatly experienced floaters for the first time (never gone away) and now have visual snow (constant static effect over vision). It...

So a few days ago I got an outer ear infection that has caused my right ear (worse ear already) to swell shut. The painkillers I was prescribed aren't doing shit for the pain and for the past two nights I've woken up multiple times due to the pain. My tinnitus has also spiked in that ear to the...

The spike died down thankfully. I reckon the sound peaked at like 125db when people where chanting for about 5mins. Wish I had brought my ear plugs earlier and worn them then. A mate had ringing after the event but lucky for them they won't know what living with it is like as it died down after...

Somewhere that involves large cheering / shouting crowds and irresponsibly loud speakers. Was there twice. Once for 45mins once for 2hrs. (At least during the 2hrs it wants continuously high leve but still pushing it) It wasnt a concert but I dont want to explain in case someone i know comes...

Funny you mention that product. Just ordered them after being stuck in a 100db environment for a while again not long after this post. My T hasnt spiked at all. It's louder than it used to be as it randomly spiked a week before these incidents. You know the random spikes that last like 10...

This is the only time since my T I've done such a thing. Not like I got to concerts every few weeks and all that. They are probably on the same noise level though. I'm not being 'Brave' as other have refered to it. I'm in a new environment with people I don't know so I'm not gonna lock myself...

Kinda hard to avoid moderately loud noise where I am. Don't be such a scare monger

So I ended up in a situation where I was exposed to somewhere in 100 dB range for about 45 mins. I was annoyed at myself for not leaving and just powering through. Now my tinnitus has spiked moderately (but not extremely) and I'm really pissed off because I may or may not have damaged my...

Not in the USA MATE. I figured it' not good for me. However I've only been at it for some days now so how likely will I have sustained hearing loss. After work I typically dont allow any noise above 45db for at least 10hrs. I'm really worried aboht my hearing as it has been top notch till my...

Hello So my workplace has noise levels of around 70 dB constantly with regular spikes of 90-100 dB due to mishaps and constant clanging of metal on metal. There is also one machine that is used every 5 mins or so that can do about 105 dB for 1 second each time it's used. I think I have mild...

What's your opinion on my struggle with background noise and tv dialog from time to time.

I get that it probably would interfere with recovery. But permanent hearing loss?? I'e noticed that some quiet diolog on tv or very fast speaking can be a struggle to process and pick up properly. I hear the sounds but don't process what it meant. Also very windy days and fast swaying trees...

So I've had tinnitus for about 4.5 months now as the result of an ear infection. My reaction was probably the opposite of most people here. When I first heard the noise I remained calm and assumed it would go away with the infection. The infection cleared a long time ago so I'm beginning to lose...

So sometimes on the way home from work when walking a loud truck or van will pass (very close due to having to drive in the cycle lane.... Roadworks smh) Once or twice it's been load enough for me to think oh shit and want to cover my ears. I never end up doing so as it only lasts a few seconds...

I was about to follow that advice too. Glad I've seen this. I have had fluid in my middle ear from an infection. As soon as I poured olive oil in my ear I heard a the T. Mine died down over time however it seems to have stopped reducing in volume. I' about 2 months in. Ever since then my ears...

The oil was a littlebit over body temp, a tad too warm but not burning or anything. I had a middle ear infection. I still find it strange that T started as soon as the oil went in if it is the infection.

So in my first post here, I explained how my tinnitus came on during an ear infection in both ears. I now remember the first instant I heard T was as I put some warm olive oil in the infected right ear. I failed to state this in my original post. I put cold olive oil in my other ear as that also...

Hijacking the thread sorry :) I had braces for a few months before my T, my T came on after an ear infection. Loud in my right ear, only just audiable in my left sometimes. Would braces have anything to do with it?

If your still around I'd appreciate a chat about my tinnitus. I got tinnitus from a middle ear infection, sometimes my ears feel crunchy, sometimes fine. My T is amplified with jaw movement so I believe I could have some sort of ETD due to inflammation that has remained since the infection...

Neighbors started construction on their house, conveniently just the same day exam period started. I usually sit outside to study as the wind hides my tinnitus. However now I can't because all I hear is hammers and other tools. If I sit inside they are annoying during study and I can hear my...

I forgot to mention that i first noticed my T after pouring war olive poil in my right ear to reduce inflammation of my ear infection. My left ear didn't react like that when i poured oil into it. However my left ear had a very minor infection in comparison.

Thanks :) no more stupid loud hearing tests then. Should I try a nasol spray because moving my jaw also makes a clicking / crunching sound in both ears. Could be pressure / liquid issues? I had enough liquid in my right ear to cause its pitch to change but that has passed.

Yes it has got quieter since 6 weeks ago. Played a 20-20000hz test to see if my hearing is OK. Used to get up to 17khz, but now I can only hear up to 16khz when its loud. I regret putting it that loud out of paranoia of not hearing it. But I guess I just couldn' hear it since its similar to my...

Are you meaning never use headphones again? Or until this dies down. Oops I've been using them a lot since I got T and sometimes at moderate volume. Hope that hasn' screwed my chances

Thanks for the info I'e never had my headphones stupidly loud. There has been a few times where I have listened to music louder than I should for short periods of time. I usually keep my sound below 50% on my phone and 25% on my PC (PC has a strong amp). I do get a bit of loud tinitus straight...

That would be good news, but the infection subsided long ago :)

So I've had tinnitus for 2 months now (changes intensity when moving jaw) ever since I had a middle ear infection. Probably the worse ear infection I've had, and the first one I've had since I was very young. It was in the right ear and then moved to the left. Lucky the left ear recovered the...
