Good day fellow noiseheads. I wondered how do you guys deal with the situations where loud noises may occur, when you are with family and/or friends? I've been thinking about that yesterday. Because I was at my cousin's for the the birthday of her son on Saturday, with other people from the...

Hi everyone, A 250 kg bomb from WWII has been discovered by a ship and brought to the port of my city. It will be dismantled on Sunday and the authorities have asked the inhabitants of my city to stay home on that day (with the windows open to avoid being injured by glass shattering in the case...

Does that concern you? Delivery tests are beginning, and it sounds like this:

Hello, I wondered if anyone already bought those plugs: I asked noise protection earplugs to the pharmacist and she gave me those. After buying them I had a look at the box and saw it was apparently for sleeping. Does anyone know if they are safe to use in a noisy environment? I checked...

I know a same event can cause aggravation for one person and not for another one. But I would be curious to know what caused the aggravation of the sufferers whose tinnitus increased. Please only answer this question if you clearly noticed an aggravation of your tinnitus after a specific...

Hello, I thought about creating a petition addressed to Tripadvisor. This platform has a huge influence in the food service industry (and in the tourism industry in general), and I think it would make a difference if they take into account the quietness of the venue in their rating system...

Hello, I plan to go to Lisbon some time soon, has anyone of you gone to this city already and what are your thoughts about it? (when it comes to noise) I have been to Porto two years ago and I found this city especially noisy, mainly because of the very frequent use of siren by the emergency...

Hello everyone. Am I the only one who often wonders if I am becoming overly obsessed over noise levels? They are, as I am sure for a lot of people here, a huge source of stress in my life. And sometimes I really wonder if I am right to worry so much. Yesterday I thought a lot about this, I...

Hi, My girlfriend and I would want to celebrate NYE in a European city (well, she wants it more than me but I told her we would do it). Do you have a European capital to recommend for tinnitus sufferers? One that is not loud... I already crossed out German cities of the list because of the...

Hi, I just heard about this product: And I immediately thought it may be interesting for some hyperacusis sufferers. So I just created a thread to let you know about it. Not sure how efficient it is though... If anybody has tried, please let us know

Hi, does anyone have a pair of discreet ear defenders to recommend? If possible, ones that could be confused with headphones. I know I should not care about what other people think when they see me with "strange stuff" on my head but I can't help :) Thanks

Hello, I have a contact karate training several times per week and I wonder if the noise of kicking on the "paos" (pads wrapped in leather) can be dangerous for my ears. The sound of the feet's skin against the leather can be loud, as you can hear in this video: I've been training in this...

New year's eve is coming, what will you do? Will you celebrate it with friends? Will you celebrate it in a potentially noisy place? I'm suppose to spend the night with some of my friends in an event venue that we rent for the night. I know they'll put some music and it might be loud (they told...

Hello everyone, I am a 29 years old frenchie, and I have my tinnitus since 2006, following a quite loud concert. They are not severe, I only hear them in calm environments, but they affect my quality of life, and every single day I feel disturbed by them. But I guess it's the case of a lot of...
