    How Loud Is a LandCruiser 79 ute? Car Deadening Experiences? Share Your Tips!

    @frischky, that sounds awesome. I ended up purchasing a Hilux 2014. They are a bit quieter and I have been looking into sound deadening. It's a big DIY job but sounds like it's worth it!

    How Loud Is a LandCruiser 79 ute? Car Deadening Experiences? Share Your Tips!

    Has anyone here ever owned a LandCruiser 79 ute? I'm thinking of buying one but not sure if these things are too much of a loud drive. I currently own a LandCruiser Prado and it seems okay to me. Only on the freeway I wear some earplugs on those long trips. Anyone have any advice for buying...

    While on Vacation, I Thought I Was Hearing an Insect — It Was the Start of a New Tinnitus Tone

    Hi @Michael Leigh, I hope all is well. Honestly I'm still in the process of getting used to it as it got worse for me like 5 months ago. I've also been off work for 3 months now. I guess these things take time getting used to. In terms of hyperacusis, I don't have any pain whatsoever I'm only...

    While on Vacation, I Thought I Was Hearing an Insect — It Was the Start of a New Tinnitus Tone

    Yes, that does sound kind of similar in terms of how my first tone disappeared for 3 weeks and then returned. It's been about 6 weeks on and off. When yours comes back, does it stay for the whole period or come on and off throughout the day, @Kriszti?

    While on Vacation, I Thought I Was Hearing an Insect — It Was the Start of a New Tinnitus Tone

    I have developed a new tinnitus tone while on my vacation. I have not been doing anything loud, just pretty much beach time with the kids. It is not there 24/7. At the start I thought it was coming from an insect. It comes on throughout the day. It is not constant but it is loud when it comes...

    No Hope Getting Out of Tinnitus: It's Gotten Worse as I'm Tapering Off Prednisolone

    @Paul201 I work in the domestic field so on new homes, not massive commercial constructions, so it's mostly only my crew on site. We don't use the loudest equipment, it's all hand held tools and I haven't had a problem with it for the past two years since I got tinnitus. I have had muffs on...

    No Hope Getting Out of Tinnitus: It's Gotten Worse as I'm Tapering Off Prednisolone

    Thanks a lot for the support guys. Honestly it's hard to explain my situation to anyone as they don't know what it's like. I'm currently taking some days off work as it's just too much at work especially when I put earmuffs on, they make the tinnitus so much louder! I really appreciate your...

    No Hope Getting Out of Tinnitus: It's Gotten Worse as I'm Tapering Off Prednisolone

    The last time I used headphones was probably a year ago, and even when I did, it was at low levels but I never listen to anything loud. It all started about two months ago when I got an echo hearing sensation that went away the next day, then progressively the days after I started noticing my...

    No Hope Getting Out of Tinnitus: It's Gotten Worse as I'm Tapering Off Prednisolone

    I really hope so. These past two months have been really bad for me. I was getting a little bit better last week. I just don't understand how this thing gets worse.

    No Hope Getting Out of Tinnitus: It's Gotten Worse as I'm Tapering Off Prednisolone

    This is one of my first posts here. I feel like I'm a really dark place with no hope of getting out of this. I got noise-induced tinnitus two years ago and at the start it was a bit hard but I habituated fairly quickly. About two months ago I had a major increase in my tinnitus that sort of...
