Thanks Steve- that is exactly what I want to do. I need understand what noise level environment I am in.....and for how long. Any suggestions on a good app?

Good stuff! I just got fitted for the plugs with filters. I had to choose a filter so I went with the 15db. In addition to protecting my ears, I'm really concerned with my ability to hear my vocal blend with the others when we harmonize. I'm going to start there and may order 25db filters as...

Great post- thanks for looping me in. I've been doing well. Still playing and recording. I've been playing with foam plugs and coincidentaly, I have an appointment with an audiologist today to have a mold of my ear canal taken for filters. I struggled with the anxiety from the initial onset...

Thanks folks- I've been dealing with it very well. It's still there and I'm accepting the fact that it may never go away and getting on with my life. I love my wife and children way too much to stop and blink for this small change. Nor am I gonna let it change the things in life I love to...

Wow. I think you ventured a road we are all trying to stay away from. Hopefully, that isn't something I ever have to deal with. I play with a few different bands, the loudest being an 8 piece dance/party band w/keys, horns, bass, drums and guitar and although we like to sound good, I don't...

I'm a back up so I need to hear the other harmonies to blend. I'm sure with a good monitor mix, I should be okay. The exchange window helps with the filters. I'm sure there is some trial and error ahead of me. And thanks for the info- it's very helpful.

Thanks- 25 db is specified for drummers, but I still need to be able to hear my vocal in the mix....so I'm thinking of going with the 15db filters. Or do you think I'll still have trouble hearing myself? 9DB is recommended for vocalists but I want to be sure to protect my ears from the drums...

Thanks! Westone's "The Concert" look like the way to go. It's exactly what I'm looking for and I'm going to go ahead and order a pair. For now, I'm using 30DB foam plugs. Bought a jar of 50 pairs cheap at the local pharmacy. I'm assuming that they should be okay for now in terms of protection?

I've been a drummer since age 5 and after 33 years, I have constant ringing in my ears. I've experienced it from time to time after shows, rehearsals or rocking out my headphones, but it's always gone away after a day or two. Unfortunately, the ringing has been constant for about 3 months...

Thanks Grace. I'll check it out. So that's my next adventure. Ear plugs. Right now I have a supply of foamies that you roll with your fingers, insert and they expand. It's not the permanent solution, but it's protection for now. I harmonize on vocals and need to hear my voice blend with my...

Ha! Cheers bro! We are officially thawing.

Thanks Grace. I've had a few practice sessions and one recording session over the past three weeks and used ear plugs. It was an adjustment, but oddly, I actually thought the drums sounded better. The noise was filtered and I could really hear the tones of the kit. I'm going to take a big...

Thanks Jeff! I'm all the way across the country in CT and thanks to you and internet technology, I just got good vibes instantly from California when I needed them most. That's what makes this community special. One thing I've been keeping in mind- I've been hearing the ringing for a few...

This is a great thread and why I am in this forum. Tinnitus is new to me and I completely understand the initial panic but I will not let it get in the way of what I enjoy in life as well as continuing to be the best father and husband I can. I wrote this introduced myself to the forum last...

As soon as the water turns on the tinnitus will disappear. Unfortunately, as soon as you turn it off, the tinnitus will still be there. Sorry if I misled you, and it may seem pointless, but it gave me hope. White noise seems to help me considerably. You really should find your way to an ENT...

I read a soothing trick from a guy who developed it after years of working in the air force. It was given to him by a doctor and fellow sufferer. Go to the bathroom or kitchen. Run the water in the sink. If it goes away, you are better than most and just found a way to make it disappear. Not...

Hi all- My name is Steve, I'm 38 and was just diagnosed with nose induced tinnitus today. It's been going on for a couple of months and at first I thought it was sinus related. Unfortunately, after going through the motions with my allergist and primary care doctor (who came up empty handed)...
