You find someone who is a willing test subject that has good hearing and no tinnitus. Perhaps someone with a terminal disease with no chance of recovery. Put him on a brain scanner. Blast his ears with really loud sounds until he develops tinnitus while still scanning his brain. Then they will...

I was thinking about the time I got a really bad cut on my hand in the crotch of the thumb and first finger. I was young and very active, so it would heal then I would accidentally rip it open using my hand. This went on for some time. Heal, rip, heal, rip... Is the damage to my hearing like...

I am looking for a set of musician's earplugs with the highest rating. I find these Eargasm musician's plugs online. There are reviews etc. So I find them on Amazon. Check out this noise reduction doublespeak: "Up to 21 dB (NRR 16 dB)" So how does that work? If they have an NRR rating of 16dB...

What the fuck is with Facebook video controls? When I start to play a video, the volume is WIDE FUCKING OPEN. Then when I click on the video to pause or stop the play, instead of stopping, the WIDE OPEN VOLUME continues while Facebook opens the video in a new page and it continues to play WIDE...

Or what is left of it. If I had not gotten tinnitus & hyperacusis then I would not have learned about the volumes of my activities, the lack of protection with ear plugs, and I would not have changed my lifestyle and how I treat my hearing. I have about 7 kHz in my left ear and 10 kHz in my...

I bought the highest rated NNR ear muffs I could get. They are the Browning ear muffs at 37dB. Then I use foam plugs at about 30 dB. From the formulas I found here and on other sites you take the highest rated of the two, subtract 7 and divide by 2. That equals 15. That is the true amount of dB...

I just checked my Stihl FS 240 Brush Trimmer, and it is at about 110 dB. I checked my chainsaw a Stihl MS 261 and it is rated at 216 dB. So I used the trimmer today with foam plugs and then a pair of Browning 37 dB muffs. This should give me a 20 dB reduction, or take me down to 90 dB. I worked...

I have been active all my life, which means being exposed to lots of noise and music. Here are some things I am just finding out now that I am fully immersed in the tinnitus hearing experience. - When you get your hearing checked at the doctors, they don't check over 8 kHz, even though human...

I have what I would consider noise induced hearing loss and tinnitus. It seem to also be somewhat sensitive and reactive. My tinnitus is a high pitched hiss, and it gets louder and wider when it is triggered. I have the rare clear ring that will last about 4-10 seconds and then go away. I did a...

I need to get a Decimeter or sound pressure meter. Something that is precalibrated and accurate, available in Canada or the USA. Preferably on Amazon. Low cost would be nice too. Thanks.

I put in foam plugs and added the ear muffs and ran a tank of gas (40 minutes) and now my ears are ringing more than they have since I got it... If this is a problem I have some big problems. I need to use a chainsaw and a woodsplitter, plus I am building a prototype and will be working in a...

I have had tinnitus for years but very mildly. A couple of months ago it got worse from noise. My doctor gave me prednisone last week when I asked for it (1 week's worth) but I never took it. Should I try it? I have been taking Magnesium, B12, NAC and Turmeric. I have also been really...

If there is nerve damage in the ear, the nerves connecting the ear to the brain, and in the hearing center in the brain, will they repair themselves over time? I was told that nerves grow 1mm per month (unrelated injury). So if the damage does repair slowly, and if it was sounds that caused...

I have the dreaded tinnitus. I also have sleep apnea. I use an APAP machine (auto pressure). Before I got my jump in tinnitus I found my ears felt plugged and like there was water in my ears. My doctor said it was because my Eustachian tubes were plugged. I started gently pressurizing them and...

I am wondering if there is a type of headphone or near ear speakers that are designed to let you listen to music safely while engaged in outdoor activities?
