    Having a Tough Time — Tinnitus Seems to Have Ramped Up in Volume

Why don't you go see a good doctor?' I don't know how to deal with the ringing. It used to be low level. Now it seems...

    Jet Engine Hand Driers

    Oi! I've had it with rest area bathroom hand driers. Anyone else feel this way? Walked into a bathroom recently at a rest stop and was hit with about 130 dB of atrocious fan echoing throughout entire bathroom. Pretty hard to take a leak while holding your ears. Ugh!!!

    Truck Air Horn Acoustic Trauma

    I was sitting in traffic a month ago when this truck blew its air horn for 1 second. It was louder than anything I've ever heard. The truck was 10 feet away and my window was down. I have tinnitus in left ear now. Doctor said 'it should get better' but did not give a timeline. LOL.
