Hello everyone! Question for you all: yesterday I was in a pet store picking up some crickets for a really cute leopard gecko I have. I had in some 32 dB foam earplugs, and there was a gas floor scrubber there cleaning the floor. I was in there perhaps for 5-10 minutes, and I think I measured...

Hey everyone! I've got a stupid question for you - if there was a lawn mower going like 125 feet away, and I was wearing earplugs, I’d be fine to be in that area for a few minutes right? Just curious! :)

Hey everyone! I’m thinking of pulling out my clarinet and playing it again after a few months since I graduated from college. I’ll wear earplugs and/or earmuffs depending on how loud I play. Does this seem like a safe noise level to you all?

Hello everyone! A neighbor was using an electric air blower next door (maybe 50 feet away), after about 30 seconds I was able to get earplugs in. Any chance this could spike tinnitus? Also, I looked up online how loud electric blowers are, and it looks like they’re 65-75 dB about 50 feet away...

I hope you like the Wizard of Oz reverence :) Today I was in a town with a few friend and on the way down, was next to a car with a noisy muffler. I put earplugs on as soon as I could, but it was rather annoying. A little bit later, I was near a train (50 ish feet away) and it was...

Hey everyone! One more question: I’ve recently been near some handheld electric circular saws, standing perhaps 15 feet away while helping make a garden fence. I’m using both earplugs (the foam ones with a 32 decibel rating) and earmuffs (with like a 30 decibel rating). Any concerns about it...

Hello Tinnitus Talk people! Just have a question for you based on two sound thingies I recently have had, mostly for peace of mind, as I don’t think either of these are dangerous at all. First, this weekend I was helping my family make a garden fence! I was using an electric drill to drill...

Hey everyone! I am doing even better than when I last posted here. About half of the days the ears don’t stress me out too much, even though I can hear them. Question for you all - have you ever had tinnitus increase from accidentally taking earplugs out too fast? I’ve taken them out too fast...

Hello Dr. Nagler! I have looked through forums a good bit and all, but I was just wondering your opinion on this: If I yell pretty loudly for like a second, do you think that would damage hearing/make tinnitus louder at all? I did that a couple of weeks ago to get my brother’s attention who was...

Hello everyone! I hope you all are having a wonderful evening. Here I sit, and I can hear the whispering in both ears (with about six tones in my right ear lol), and I am actually pretty darn calm and excited for tomorrow. Now, keep in mind that earlier today was really rough - I was focusing...

Hello everyone! Life is getting better and better, slowly. I have a question for you all. A couple of days ago, I yelled somewhat loudly to get my brother's attention who was in the bathroom. Do you think I should have any concerns for hearing damage/tinnitus increase? I've yelled in the past...

Hello everyone! Two weeks ago I went to a karaoke night and used earplugs. It really wasn’t all that loud except for a few of the bass noises. However, since then, I have gotten a spike in tinnitus (before this I had been habituated fully for a year and a half!) I’ve started taking NAC and...

Hello everyone! I hope you are having a fantastic day! So about 14 months ago, on April 20, 2017, I had an ear infection in my right ear and got tinnitus. I think I had a little bit before during the night, but this made much more apparent- combinations of hissing and ringing at multiple...

Hi there everyone! What experiences do people have with Ginkgold/EGb 761/Tebonin and Acupuncture for tinnitus? Any positive results?

Hello Tinnitus Talk! Today I am on here to talk about my tinnitus and I am wondering about your opinions of it. I have now had it for almost six weeks. My tinnitus started in my right ear on Thursday, April 20, after a cold and sore throat. I went to an express doctor the next day, and they gave...
