I am not a doctor or an acoustics engineer, but what truly matters is the sound pressure level, not whether the sound source is a loudspeaker or a set of headphones. Some people argue, likely with good evidence, that we tend to listen at higher volumes when using headphones. This naturally...

Just a handful of quotes that I picked up lately and that I wanted to share: "Staying positive does not mean everything will turn out okay. Rather, it means you will be okay no matter how things turn out." — Unknown “Don't define yourself by what you lost, but by what you do with what's left.”...

Great news, @Hazel! I sent a little too and I hope you’ll get the expenses covered. Have a good time and thanks for going to the conference on our behalf — and even giving a talk!

Hi @Joe Cuber, I just wanted to say hi and thank you for replying to this post back in August. Together with other posts here, it's been a great help for me. I'm doing better now. I get better sleep and don't wake up freaking out like I did in the first days. I still spend a little too much...

I guess I was wrong. Several sources online mention that stress can cause both temporary and permanent hearing loss due to changes in blood flow caused by the stress response.

Both good questions I'd like answered too :-) My spike or increased tinnitus has not returned to the previous moderate level that I was used for many years. It's been a little over a month now with the increased levels and I have been trying to not stress out so much and I have been doing mild...

In the middle of the forest there’s an unexpected clearing which can only be found by those who have gotten lost. — Tomas Tranströmer

From my notebook. Some quotes that help me from time to time: The master has failed more times than the beginner has even tried. Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light. -- Helen Keller You can spend minutes, hours, days, weeks, or even months...

Hey @El BUZZ! I’m a hot sauce fan too. Did you find any more information on whether spicy food is to be avoided? I mean, I never experienced any issues with hot sauce or wasabi and my tinnitus before. I have had mild tinnitus for many years, but now that my tinnitus has gotten much worse, I am...

Thanks Joe! I appreciated very much reading about your experiences which sound similar to mine and it gives me hope that my tinnitus will also be easier to cope with for me. I must admit that the past weeks have been pretty rough here. It's surprising to me how much one's stress level can...

I don’t have experience from vaping. But from my experience drinking alcohol makes my tinnitus worse. I have always been thinking it was dehydration but I often also seem to get in a bad mood the night and day after drinking which doesn’t help on my tinnitus either :) Drinking only gives a very...

Update since the other day: After some days of poor sleep and constant worrying, I called my ear doctor's office and explained (well, I broke down on the phone, to be honest) and they said I couldn't go on like that for a whole month until my appointment and offered an examination already...

Hello everyone, my name is Thomas. I guess I have been living with tinnitus since I was around 18 years old when I noticed it first. That's for 30 years now. I think my tinnitus was caused by loud sound exposures during concerts and playing with fireworks (two things I really loved when I was a...
