    Are Earplugs Safe If You Already Hurt Your Ears Before?

    So this past weekend, I went to one of the dance clubs (my phone app measured about 80 decibels). And I used 20 NR earplugs.

    Are Earplugs Safe If You Already Hurt Your Ears Before?

    My Lesson About Tinnitus

    I'm in my 20's. And fortunately, my tinnitus wasn't always on, so I knew it would fade eventually. During this time, I usually stayed in my room with the huge window fan so. This was the only way I could concentrate. Out in public, things were pretty rough at times, and my ears were...
