I had 1st dose of Pfizer 6 days ago. On day 3 after the vaccination, my tinnitus spiked to its highest ever and has not subsided yet as of day 6. I'm not intending on getting the 2nd dose if this doesn't go back to pre-vaccine level. I really wished I had read the information on here before...

Wish I had thought to visit TT before having the Pfizer vaccine last week. Tinnitus volume gone through the roof 3 days after having it. I just can't believe I've not seen anything on the tv news about the vaccine worsening T in the last few months. Yet doing a quick internet search this...

I'm not sure exactly how much difference I'm having in wind reduction from the Helmet Angel. I've been using the Cat-Ears which definitely help and I think the magnetic eye shield definitely creates a shield from wind noise to the upper part of the ear but I'm mostly riding on the hoods in an...

@gorzakus @kelpiemsp Hi both. Hope you're keeping well and still enjoying the cycling. It's been a long time since I posted and intended to feedback on the Helmet Angels that I bought a few months ago. I've only today got back on the bike after many months out of cycling - took up...

I'm afraid it's just me, the tinnitus and four walls at the moment. So not the best place to be when trying to cope with this. I get you totally about the kids though. I have two nephews who wanted my time and attention constantly only a few years ago, but are now at the 'stay in my room not...

Hi @Allan1967 I'm feeling the exact same way at the moment. In my mid 40s, struggling to find joy in anything I do due to recent worsening of T and other health issues. Keep thinking about my own mortality a lot due to Mother getting older and having lost many family members to illness in...

Hearing high pitched bleep on top of the nasty hiss. TV off, still there. Panic. Opened window, security alarm going off outside. So happy.

Thanks and same to you. Wish everyone here the best of recovery.

@Estan Your story is both funny and sad at the same time. But I wouldn't give yourself a hard time about it. You were trying not to let other people down and bring attention to yourself in public by walking out. My story has a similar theme, but didn't involve god, just plain stupidity on more...

Will do. I have just ordered the Helmet Angel protectors which I'll try first. I'll feedback here after I've had my first ride with them. Then I'll most probably get the Cat-Ears to compare. I've just viewed the following video reviewing Cat-Ears and Wind Blox. The noise reduction claimed isn't...

Thanks for the information. Might give both the cat ears and helmet angels a try then and get back on the bike.

@gorzakus That's a big reduction in noise. I'm assuming it doesn't help with other noise such as traffic noise. Do you use anything else for protection or find that the cat ears are enough?

@kelpiemsp Nice bike! I have a Bianchi too, but only a cheaper Via Nirone 7. Not been on it since my tinnitus worsened a couple of months ago. Life hasn't been the same without cycling, need it back in my life. Was afraid of making things worse from wind noise and traffic. Didn't really notice...

Faulty fire alarm went off in the office. 45 minutes standing at the assembly point next to a major construction site. Health & Safety!

I donated my expensive headphones to a friend and at the same time warned them of the dangers of using them. For someone with tinnitus I would advise them never to use headphones again and use sound therapy through a good quality speaker. On the few occasions that I listened to audiobooks...

I have found the same thing that the sound of the shower masks my tinnitus better than anything else. So used the following youtube video and extracted the audio from it, so now have 10 hrs of shower time to help me sleep every night. It's worked for me far better than rain sounds and now I'm...

I've been on a plant-based diet for the last 4 years and have not noticed any increase in tinnitus as a result of the diet. My tinnitus has been caused by loud noise exposure and only seems to get worse after loud noise. It may be different for people with tinnitus because of other reasons...

Getting some sleep has made a big difference. This wasn't the case a few weeks ago though and I was surviving on about 12 hours of sleep per week. I'm sure most people here have gone through the same. I did think to look into hearing aids with white noise myself, but last time I saw the...

Thanks for the reply. I would say that I'm at a similar level to where you're at and agree with your comments. I did think moderate before posting today, but at the onset of the spike I would have described it as severe dentist drill tinnitus. It still seems that way in a quiet room though, but...

I'm trying to figure out how bad my tinnitus is at the moment to be able to know where I'm at with it to feedback to ENT / Audiologist when I eventually get my appointment on NHS. I've heard people mention mild, moderate, severe etc and give it scores out of 10, and trying to figure out how...
