    Tinnitus from Shooting My 9mm Gun 10 Times in Quick Succession

    I work in a very loud factory over 100 decibels at almost all times. So I wear my over ears and earplugs slightly in, because when I turn my head, the over ears aren't a perfect seal.

    Very good information. Thank you all. They offer over the ear hearing protection at work. I will use that instead of the earplugs. I used to use both but I won't anymore because I think the over the ears are working perfectly. I will look into custom made earplugs and Loop.

    Very good to hear. Thank you for the positive reinforcement. Crazy it can take 8 months to heal. Hopefully you are doing well on your journey. I'm going to look into buying a decibel meter this Friday when I get paid. This has definitely made me curious to know what sounds can be dangerous and...

    Are you talking about Tru Niagen? I'm already taking a whole meal's worth of drugs everyday. One more can't hurt lol. Thank you for the recommendation.

    Good to know but I'm still very early into my tinnitus. I feel like it can still heal. As long as I don't damage it further with more loud noises. I'm just torn between wearing them all the time or just at work. Work decibels according to a few apps I use say it runs at like 85 decibels but we...

    Tinnitus from Shooting My 9mm Gun 10 Times in Quick Succession

    So I've had tinnitus for exactly a week today. My audiologist told me I don't need to wear earplugs unless I'm around noise that is above 85 decibels. My ENT told me I should wear them basically whenever out of the house. I also have no hearing loss. My question is how long would I have to wear...

    Tinnitus from Shooting My 9mm Gun 10 Times in Quick Succession

    UPDATE! I went to see my ENT today. No hearing loss HORRAY. But I got mixed messages. The audiologist said I don't need to wear earplugs unless around noise louder than 85 decibels. Avoiding earplugs will help the brain train to not hear the tinnitus. Makes sense because without the earplugs...

    You're 9 months in and still feel bad. I'm sorry to hear that. Hopefully a psychologist can help ya. I'm trying to stay positive. My tinnitus fluctuates in pitch. Quite a lot. Do you have it in both ears or only 1?

    Tinnitus from Shooting My 9mm Gun 10 Times in Quick Succession

    Hello, I'm new here. Just want to say hello and share my story. My tinnitus started last Wednesday on 9/1/2021. I got mad at my father and got so pissed off that I grabbed my 9mm gun and shot off 10 quick rounds into our gun pit. I then threw the gun on the ground and ran to my room to chill...
