Thanks try, but i could have them on for like 20 mins here and there throughout the flight to just give them so quiet maybe. Yeh, makes sense that i could have changed now, its a good thing. Oh rightt, yeh could be different with tinnitus/hyperacusis and stuff - more sensitive.

Hi, yeh sounds like a good plan. It is a tricky thing, and kinda a risk you have to take really... Yeh, i could get them checked before i go and make sure they are clear if it helps. Hey, i don't care how it looks if it help aha trying to take on board (literally) all the help i can get. Don't...

Thanks for the reply, I read it through :) I really would love to go, i feel its such an opportunity and i don't want to regret not going. I'm understanding now why wearing the plugs would be a bad idea on the way up and down. If i do go i'll be sure to bring earplanes, my usual ear plugs and...

Ohh, would cutting out all noise be a bad thing?? :/

Oh i see, yeh i wouldn't be listening to any music for sure, thats would started my tinnuts - music through headphones. Would ear muffs/ear defenders pretty much do the same thing??

Yeh if i do decide to go i will bring protection with me of course. But yeh wasn't sure about it being safe to wear it while taking off/landing because of the whole altitude and pressure thing...do you think it would be just safer to put your fingers over your ears or something until your up in...

Wow that's amazing, they told me they go for hikes round the mountains! I would be going for a week or 10 days, its undecided yet. I would be able to go in a car, but not driving myself aha still learning to drive.

Oh, i just use the foam ones, pack of like 15. They actually block out quite alot of noise for how cheap they are. Yeh, as long as they fit you and are comfortable and protect you then that's all that matters :) What do the noise cancelling ones do, do they just pretty much block out every sound...

Just clicked the link, they're quite big actually,but tbh i couldn't care less what people think, my ears need protection aha. Yeh, i'll have to see what i can do with seating if i do decide to go. Didn't really know you had the choice of seats, i'm such a novice aha. Oh i mean noise cancelling...

thanks for replying :) wow so you went ahead with it? i hope you managed to have a good time! thats what i'm thinking, somewhere new and such a oppitunity and i don't want it to just pass by me. But i am concerned with my ears, i don't want to have to suffer any worse or more. where would i get...

Thanks, its nice to know that others have been brave enough to fly. Still not sure whether to or not, going to book an appointment with my audiologist and speak to him too. I know when it comes to tinnitus, the noise probably won't make it any worse as long as i keep ear protection with me. The...

Thanks for the reply. Yes, i know at cruising point, its a steady sound and i'm told its not all that loud. Infact my dad was saying the airport itself is probably more louder than the plane. what are noise cancelling ear plugs? never actually heard of those before? And ear muffs as in ear...

Hey guys, needing a little help here, not sure what to do. I have hyperacusis and tinnitus (for just over a year now). Its a terrible thing but i am adapting to it. My ears are still very sensitive, i still wear earplugs at work, and I don't go to cinemas/concerts; trying to be careful with my...

Hi Juan, thanks for the reply. Yes! I completely understand the shower being like a waterfall part. Bearable over time, so your ears adjust and get used to these sounds. I think the problem with me right now, is alot of this hyperacusis stuff is getting to me physiologically too, if that makes...

Hey there, Just wondering if anyone could share with me any links for the best ear plugs, for good noise reduction and ones with filters??? I found this one, https://uk.earpeace.com/collections/high-fidelity-hearing-protection/products/ear-plugs which looks like my best option so far. Thanks...

@glynis @Michael Leigh @Mithrandir @joseph Ghass Thanks so much for your advice. Trying to find out as much as I can right now, thanks for being so helpful :) Roseanna

Hi everyone, Needing some advice. I have hypercausis, and i was just wondering can sounds that are deemed 'normal' and aren't too loud in decibels actually damage a person's ears who have tinnitus and hypercausis?? Sounds can be uncomfortble on my ears (sometimes making them spike a few...

I've looked at the link for those noise reducing ear plugs. Although they are from america. I've found some others though, that have this filter as you mentioned. https://www.amazon.com/SureFire-Defenders-filtered-Earplugs-reusable/dp/B01B63Y2IA/ Just wondering what your thoughts are on these...

Hi Michael, I have heard people mention that they (ear plugs) don't always help with hypercausis, and that it can kinda work against it although your only trying to use them to help you?? Thing is i just get so worried that the tinnitus could get worse, or more damage could be done. So i feel i...

Hi Michael, thanks for the reply. No not for clubs or concerts or anything that loud. I just wouldn't put my ears through those loud sounds, i wouldn't risk any more damage happening. I usually wear mine when i go out to, well most places. Even when i walk my dog actually, in case of noises...

Yes, i would say they do feel kinda fatigued. Increased by lowered tolerance? Not sure if i could have lowered my tolerance to hypercausis. Can that happen? I thought things could only get better over time with hypercausis?

Hey, has anyone got any recommendations on the best ear plugs? Ones that reduce a good amount of sound. That really do protect your ears. Not sure if mine are blocking enough sound?? For my hypercausis, and tinnitus which i do not want getting any louder.

Yeh, it is such a strange thing, this ear problem. It has alot of ups and downs and twists to it. It seems so unpredictable. And because it is, i can get awfully worried about it. The earache has gone off again now. It comes and goes. It must be due to my hypercausis, as my ears find alottt of...

That'a great! Yeah you have to focus on the good things in life, what you can actually still do and what you have. It's so so difficult. But the the best thing you can do is change your mindset on it. You have to think it could be so much worse, i could be blind or completely deaf. There are...

Hey everyone, Still pretty new to the whole tinnitus thing. Was just wondering if anyone gets ear ache from time to time with their tinnitus/hyperacusis? Keep getting this dull ache, just wondering if this is simply part of it. Almost like their tired of sound or something?

Hey Zach, I know that you put this success story on a long time ago now. But I just wanted to thank you for it, I'm glad I've read this today. I'm 17 years old, and got tinnitus (and hypercausis) at the start of the year. It's been so so tough, and I agree that it changes you as a person. You...

Oh the same, so ear phones have caused other people the same problems :( Wow, you did really well then, habituated quick. I didn't know you could habituate to it that much. You still did all the loud fun stuff too, wow i couldn't imagine doing any of that stuff right now. Thanks for replying Jacob!

Thank you so much. Yeh, that's what i'm aiming for, i really don't want this to stop me. Yeh, i started out on the tables and stuff, but i tried out doing prep in the kitchen and since then stuck with that. But i could definitely go back to the waitressing part. The kitchen isn't like over loud...

Yeah i sure am careful. At first i was...way too careful though :/ now i'm trying to adjust to noise, but i'm always worrying, thinking 'is it too much'. Although, pretty much most of it is classed as 'normal sound' i guess :( Thats good then that you are managing to work with it, and your only...

Hey! Ahh, that's no good. Oh right, i've not heard that you can get molded ones, or decibel reduction ones?? I've just been using these like sponge type ones, that expand. They block a lot out, but sound can be muffled sometimes :/ I would be willing to pay though, are they alot better than...

Yeh i've been told stress can have a big impact, and if your focus on it too much. Yeah that's the thing :( we have to find work that is quiet, which can be difficult in this very noisy world. But i still want to do something that i'll enjoy really.. Thanks for the reply!

Hey everyone, I've never written on any forum before, and i really hope this gets read, as i'm really needing some support. So my story in short (or...as short as I can get it). I'm 17 years old, and I got my tinnitus (and hypercausis) early this year, January 2016. The start of the new year...
