Nah, I've been studying this subject for a long time (mostly when I first got it, of course), so I know everyone is different and have their own thresholds and triggers. Bone conduction aside, one thing that occurred to me was that the dB attenuation claimed by the manufacturers of earmuffs...

When I said earplugs, I actually meant Sony noise-reducing earbuds that block the ear canal but do not go as deep as regular foam earplugs. I don't really like using anything that goes too far into my ear. Besides, the question was mostly about how problematic bone conduction is, as that would...

Got tinnitus in my left ear five years ago due to accidentally standing right next to a speaker that suddenly started blaring out a guitar riff. It is a constant 11 kHz tone that bothers me from time to time, but I have learned to live with it and I sometimes (rarely) even forget that it is...

6th day update: The original quality of the T was "electrical noise" + a tone - both very faint, but present if I listened for them. Both appear to have faded somewhat, esp. the tone part is barely detectable, but the electrical noise is certainly making itself heard when I wake up in the...

I have taken a bunch of "hearing tests" in the form of iOS and Android apps (with Sennheiser HD650 headphones) and they more or less confirm that I can hear frequencies up to 14 KHz (when cranking up the volume) and that I have mild hearing loss in the 6-8 KHz range, consistent with my age...

I should add: I don't normally go to pubs or clubs or any places with lots of noise but I have been using headphones to listen to podcasts a couple of hours per day for more than 10 years. I took some online hearing tests which all suggested that I have hearing loss and should consult an...

I was photographing an event (celebration in a park) a few days ago where I found that I had wandered next to one of the speaker stacks. There had been various announcements, but now they suddenly started blaring out music while I had my left ear a couple of feet away from the stack. I...
