    Should You Wear Earplugs When Driving a Car?

    I'm curious how it gives a false reading in a car. Is it because the DB rating is consistently moving and it's not a steady noise level? Because I have a mustang and when driving it ranges from 70db to 85db depending on driving and I was wondering if I should wear plugs or if I'm just over reacting

    Driving a Loud Car (Mustang) and the Possibility of It Making Tinnitus Worse?

    Yes my setup includes mufflers. It's a dual exhaust setup being a Mustang GT. I was able to drive it today for 30 minutes. With my setup of having 33 dB plugs and earmuffs I don't consider it to be that loud in the car. So far I can't tell if my tinnitus has spiked.

    Thanks! I called the bowling alley in advanced and they said they will not be playing music during the hours i'm there. They said they only do that at night. So that should cut down on the volume a lot because I know how loud they can be. I will be attending around the afternoon. I will...

    Got a Cold — Tinnitus Worse Now

    I'm thinking the reason why I can't hear out of that ear 100% is because the tinnitus noise is really loud. I was fine until this stupid cold, now it made my tinnitus really loud. Also I forgot to mention that anytime I swallow my other ear makes a popping sound.
