I have AirPods Pros. They are great for most everything, but if you connect them to a Windows PC and the battery goes low, the beep is INSANELY LOUD. Like dangerously so, not just paranoid levels. Like you could literally hurt your hearing if it happens enough times in a row. This is non issue...

So, basically, I am just looking for a device that does two things. One, it acts like an earplug that turns down surrounding noise decibels by at least 29 dB (but hopefully 32 dB if possible). This is something achieved by most foam ear plugs. However, what those foam ear plugs DON'T do is have...

So, I took the Pfizer second vaccine yesterday and got a spike last night. I already have loud tinnitus and some hearing loss before this. So this is a big concern to me. What actions should one take if a spike from a COVID-19 vaccine occurs? Especially given the time sensitivity of getting...

So, basically, I keep coming into situations with strangers where they are being loud and could hurt my hearing. Examples could be when I'm getting a haircut and the barber is talking loud near my head and I just have to sit there uncomfortably and take it. How do I defend myself in these...

So, I recently changed to a new field with software engineering. Specifically web dev. It is a better field than before, but the issue is that since I don't have a lot of experience, I want to make a good impression with my company. I've been in my job a little under a year now. However, I have...

So, I have had tinnitus for a while (years), and it is loud. But recently moved into a new career industry related to technology. The issue with my job is a few things. One, is many times they like to go out to eat at restaurants for team lunches. Most restaurants are loud (but ok with earplugs)...

So I currently use a headset at work. We are required to use Microsoft Teams. The problem with Teams is that is liked to turn up the volume to a preset volume every time a call occurs and every time someone joins a call. Making this horrible in my situation. If it didn’t do this I would be...

So, I went on a trip with family to a large city. I had to deal with noises constantly and just wore ear plugs most all the time there. I felt great because I did everything I could and didn’t have issues. THEN I get to a hotel at night where it is supposed to be quiet. I get to elevator and...

So, I feel this needs a topic of its own. What specific conditions should one take prednisone, assuming they already had tinnitus before new incident and it’s already loud? Also, when should one NOT take prednisone and wait out a spike? If one does take prednisone, what is considered “good...

So, I recently got a new job and of COURSE high management comes in and we have to go to bar with them after work. I never go to bars ever. Well, in order to keep my job, I went. I put in musician earplugs. The plugs are these ones...

So, I was at my desk and my boss came by to tell me something. They were right behind me and I was sitting down. Midway through they started yelling across the room to someone (they needed to project there voice). It went on for 20 to 30 seconds. About 5 seconds into it, I covered the ear...

So, I work somewhere and there is a lady who basically sits near me who won't stop coughing. Has been doing it for a year now and shows no signs of stopping. I am hoping to get out of this job in next few months and never see this situation again. But, I never really thought about this until...

So, I went to someone’s birthday at a restaurant and at the end there was loud yelling and singing and loud clapping. I was at the end of the table that it was going on. I didn’t have time to put in earplugs and was embarrassed to cover ears. It’s lasted about 30 seconds. Google says that loud...

So my gf knows I have issues with my ears, but of course fails to understand fully what that means like everyone else in the world that don’t have to worry about these things. I just got off taking prednisone for another loud incident. My gf has been waiting to go to a Christmas party for a...

So, I am having this dilemma. I never know when to take prednisone or not for noisy situations. Like, what level of noise constitutes me needing to take prednisone. Mainly because my tinnitus is already so loud that it is hard to really know if it has ever increased yet. I had a noise incident...

So, I have never had an issue with a loud drive through speaker in MY ENTIRE LIFE. Not even before tinnitus. However, I had one that blasted at me so loud that I jumped back when they started talking. I am concerned I hurt my ears. Not sure if ringing is louder, I think it is though. Also, my...

So, this article claims that silence can help with this stuff: LINK: https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/silence-brain-benefits_us_56d83967e4b0000de4037004 However, I don't feel this is necessarily true. Also, it could just mean outside noises and not internal noises. Overall, just don't feel...

Sitting in waiting room to get basic scan to make sure nothing is going on in the ear or I have tumor in head. Yet I'm being told that I have to sit in scanner for 45 minutes. WTF? Is this normal? I'm concerned I'm getting the wrong scan. Help please? In waiting room right now. They are...

So, you can see my old post about a noise event that got me on prednisone. Well, today was the first day off prednisone and I had a fire alarm go off. I was stuck around it for five minutes. People wouldn't get out of building faster. Well, I put 32db earplugs in that are reusable. Not sure if...

So, I ate at a restaurant and the noise was semi loud but not horrible I didn't think. I pulled out my iPhone and opened the app that is supposed to be accurate. It stated the place was averaging about 80db. Basically lowest at 78db and highing 84db or so (sometimes 85db). I didn't put earplugs...

So I was about to listen to headphones to listen to a speech. Well, unknowingly, the volume was all the way up. I got blasted and ripped my headphones off within one second. These headphones are the new Bose noise cancelling ones. I usually play them at the near lowest setting on iPhone. I got...

I am concerned. I lost my hearing about a year ago in both ears. More in one than the other. I'm in my 20s and can't deal with further hearing loss. Would getting my teeth drilled lead to further hearing loss? How loud can drills get and should I be concerned? I'm really worried about this...

So I will keep this short. You can read my past stuff for more information on me. Basically, I work in a financial job that requires talking on the phone. Long of the short, the place is damn noisy. I have hearing loss and tinnitus. It's a call center environment. This is not a good combination...

Does anyone know the above? Is there anyone out there who has researched this well and knows (Andy historians or anyone else)? Genuinely curious. If he managed on with hearing loss and severe tinnitus, while being a major composer, then that would be interesting to know.

So, I'll keep it short. I'm 28 and got bearing loss in both ears, but Mainly the left one. It came with louder tinnitus than had before ( had it before and it didn't bother me at all). Went to multiple doctors who didn't give me prednisone like they should have and an am101 trial which should...

So, I am 28 and had most everything going for me. I had a decent financial job, was going for a Computer Science degree, and while life wasn't perfect it was "bearable". However, in December 2015 I randomly lost some hearing in both ears, but mainly in the left ear. I told my parents who...

So, I am 28 and lost hearing in the higher frequencies in the left ear to 30-40db and the right ear only lost some at 8000khz, but it's still normal hearing range back in December last year. My current job requires me to be on the phone about 3-4 hours a day. I do my best to make sure to keep...

So, I got a haircut today and had the buzzer near my ear and it was quite loud. So much that my ear started to make a new noise, which concerned me. Is there anything I should take tonight to prevent more hearing loss? That happened this evening. I took NAC tonight to see if that may prevent...

So, first off, I don't ask this question to make judgement on anyone with hearing loss. I ask this as I really don't know. I lost some hearing in one ear and I'm 28 years old. I feel I wont be able to enjoy music ss much anymore. I have more trouble hearing conversations and can't even hear...

So, I have no measurable hearing loss in right ear. In left ear I have 20db or greater until 4khz. At 4khz, I hear at 30db, 6khz I hear at 30db, and 8khz I hear at 40-45db. I hate that I have this uneven hearing, but hope there will be a cure in future. However, I'm super concerned about this...

So, sometimes I think if I just stopped coming to the boards, attempted to just do my best in life, forget thinking about lllt or laser therapy or hearing aids, and just wear war plugs to loud events I could maybe live a normal life like before. But I have my doubts too. I have ringing the...

So, after all my problems, someone else in my family with hearing issues decided to get hearing aids. Well, I borrowed the hearing aids. The ringing is semi the same, but I can hear better in that ear. It's not perfect. Also, it's like my brain is readjusting to hearing. Like I feel semi like...

So, I've run out of hope. I was given the wrong treatment, bottom line. All this was potentially preventable with more than 50% chance. All this wasn't done though because I had the issue over Christmas break when all competent doctors were on vacation. So, at this point...I'm done. The pain...

So, I am 28 and had hearing loss and tinnitus in one ear for a few months now. No doctor helped me and eventually and to find a way to get on XANAX to calm me down. I been on it for a couple months. But, I feel I need to stop. I know because I am getting side effects that are effecting my...

http://www.afr.com/lifestyle/health/mens-health/creeping-brain-changes-caused-by-hearing-loss-can-be-slowed-20160404-gnxku3 Seriously, what is the point? That was all I had going for me :/. Now I get to loss brain function too? Wonderful, what is next in my life?

So, my question is what do people think happens ? Also is there any studies or good evidence that gives hints what happens? I know a university in Virginia has done 1000+ case studies on reincarnation, and it done by medical branch of the university. Just curious is all.

Anyhow, just curious if anything new has come around. I know some are talking about taking "trolbalt" I believe it is called. Is that a temporary thing you can take or does it have to be taken long term? It's not really made clear in the threads. Also, any other news recently? I keep...

Seriously, for those people with moderate to severe tinnitus and hearing loss, how many have committed suicide? Are there any post about people doing it on here? I don't see how someone can live a normal life with offcentered hearing and tinnitus. I see people do it I guess, I just don't see how...

So, many think that I am not taking action on this forum. I am, but I had to wait over 2 months to see a psychiatrist. Yes, all of them are booked in my area that far out. Anyways, long of the short, I don't know what to do anymore. I am eventually either going to go the LLLT route or...

So, I honestly am freaking out. My hearing hasn't gotten better and the ringing seems the same after 3 months. I already can't do the am101 trial further. I am stuck with nothing at this point. Worst is all the could have been prevented with steriods and competent doctors. Can someone please...

So I went into second ent to get opinion. They did hearing test and said I have slight loss of hearing. I stated this occurred about 6 weeks ago. He stated that the drug is most effective sooner rather than later, but he prescribes it 3 months out. I am in the am-101 trials and haven't touched...

So, I am 27 and had everything going for me. I was working a finance job, that I hated, but learned a lot about finance. I was doing Computer Science studies outside work. I was planning on quitting my job in a year finally and finishing my degree full time. Except I had a few issues. I had...

So, I had hearing loss and loud tinnitus end of December. Then I entered the AM-101 trials, after seeing a doctor and having him tell me nothing could be done. Well, now I come to find out I was suppose to be treated with prednisone, which could have gotten my hearing somewhat back and also...

So, I have hearing loss and tinnitus. It stared a month ago. I went to a doctor two weeks into tinnitus and asked for help. They told me there was no cure and nothing could be done. Now, I'm reading I should have taken prednisone and it would have helped me hearing loss. I know I have...
