I've been taking magnesium supplements daily for a while now (at least 4 months), I take the DRA listed on the bottle (~400 mg), spread out over the day, or in response to some sort of environmental acoustic shock. I can't say that the MG has made things better; in fact I usually notice a light...

Crying/screaming have been something I've had to deal with since our baby was born last year. Typically I would put earplugs in when I knew we were getting into a stressful situation (e.g., diaper change) or just deal with it. But recently we seem to be on a real screaming binge--he is 15 mo and...

Just got a pair of 3M Peltor X-series and don't think these are going to work for me. Bass from footsteps is really prominent along with pretty much any other movement. But on top of that it feels like these create quite a lot of suction during use and my tinnitus definitely seemed to have...

In the past few years, I became a habitual earplug user to manage hyperacusis, wearing them for almost everything, including vacuuming, public transport, doing dishes, and more. However, I only recently learned how to insert them properly. That is also when I likely started increasing the risk...

Hi all, dealing with hyperacusis for years now and have recently made it (as well as mild tinnitus) worse over last few months by working in a noisy market/kitchen environment (pans clanging/dropping, carts rolling by, general conversation/environmental noise). Background noise levels are only...

Hi all, been visiting this site for some time and it's been a helpful resource for ongoing tinnitus and hyperacusis (of which the latter has been a bigger challenge). I went to a music event last weekend that was clocking in around ~95dB, so after about 30 minutes I put the earplugs in. During...
