    Tinnitus Despite Wearing Earplugs During Concert

    @Beessie I think I've got my T because I started looking for it. This reddit helped me big time: http://www.reddit.com/r/tinnitus/comments/trn2m/tinnitus_16_years_later_tinnitus_oh_yea_i_forgot/%C2%A0 Also look up Julian Cowan Hill. I am leaving this forum now. Best wishes and God bless you.

    Tinnitus Despite Wearing Earplugs During Concert

    @Beessie Thanks for joining in. A question for you; with your hearing being good (which I read elsewhere in your posts), do you mean that you have '0' (zero) DB loss over all frequencies in your audiogram? From what I know hearing loss between 0 - 20 db is considered normal hearing. Some...

    @Chris Alexander Good to see you doing well mate. I'm kinda like you: I had a hard time with getting tinnitus, but an even harder time with being a pussy about it. God bless you.

    Tinnitus Despite Wearing Earplugs During Concert

    My girlfriend. She's sick of me whining like a little b*tch, and guess what? She's right. I have 25 DB hearing loss at 4Khz which will never come back (rest of my hearing is fine), but my youth will also never come back. It was an amazing era of party, travel to nearly 30 countries and DJ-ing...

    Tinnitus Despite Wearing Earplugs During Concert

    Thanks. @erik and @Nucleo I must say my T doesn't bother me at all at the moment. Prednisolone can have some nasty side effects and I've already run a two week course 4 weeks after onset. That was ended with a nice tapering down, so I guess I am just hesitant to drive 4 hours to Germany and...

    Tinnitus Despite Wearing Earplugs During Concert

    Hi all, Three months ago I attended an electronic concert which gave me tinnitus two weeks later..and my ear plugs (which I had in my ears for every second of the show) apparently didn't help in preventing it. I did NOT have tinnitus before this gig other than occasional fleeting tinnitus. I...

    Seemingly Random Tinnitus, Concert Made It Louder

    So my girlfriend just gave me a fine blowjob on the couch and my tinnitus went thru the roof for a moment (and me too!). Is this somatic tinnitus as well? WTF does it have to do with my ears?

    Help!

    Just try to relax and force yourself to focus on stuff that you like doing. Go outside, ride a bike. Don't stay on this forum too long. Read a few of the success stories. I am two months on my way after this audio assault while wearing 25DB earplugs: I am doing better each day. Did you wear...

    Another Concert Thread

    2 months after wearing 25DB earplugs at a gig. During the prednisolone course I experienced a few moments of absolute silence. But it also fired up the noise temporarily, so dont be affraid of that. I still hear some noise so it didn't totally kill it. I have the option to do another...

    Another Concert Thread

    Can you get prednisone over the counter where you live? Usually that's only on subscription. I just finished a course of prednisolone, as follows: 3 days x 60 mg 1 day x 50 mg 1 day x 40 mg 1 day x 30 mg 1 day x 20 mg 8 days x 10 mg Be careful with that stuff though.

    I got tinnitus by going to a gig from the Prodigy while wearing 25DB filters, 2 months ago. The tinnitus moves around each day: 1 day in the left ear, next day the right ear, then a day of almost nothing, then back to the left ear. What should I make of this? The tinnitus started 14 days after...

    Those ear plug companies should inform their customers about the fact that hearing protection does not protect against sound waves through bone conduction.

    Hello from Mexico

    How are you doing these days? I have also had an Prednisolone course at 6 weeks after a concert (but 4 weeks after the onset, for some reason the tinnitus started 14 days after the gig). I just finished tapering down from it now and the ringing has been subdued to a faint hiss.

    Just Another One

    I got the exact same thing. Tinnitus hit about 12 days AFTER a loud concert (during which I had 25 DB earplugs in my ears the whole gig). I am also in Holland. Maybe we can connect.
