I'll definitely try. The only problem is the orange color. I have some Hearos skin color earplugs that doesn't show very much. Don't like it when people stare at me as if I'm a hypocrite wearing ear plugs in regular places. But what can I do :/

Yea I guess! I just bought a box (200 pairs) of those. Thank you for your help.

My T volume is a little bit lower today. However, I had to do a group project with my classmates in a study room (not so quiet). I hope it won't have any effects. I am losing my hope :(

Did it fade away?

I never thought about how loud a baby’s cry was since it never bothered me before. I thought I was fine with the musician’s earplugs. But seems like I wasn’t. I am already tired of living this way. Don’t know how much more till I give up...

Thank you for your information. I know part of my T is caused by my anxiety and stress. I used to be a stressful person even before I got my T (You can imagine how stressed I am right now). I keep getting several panic attacks every day and I cant really help it. :(

I would say the baby's head was 15 inches away from me while I was holding him. I regret it so much :( I am new to this and still figuring out the dangerous noises and sounds, but I guess I'm damaging myself more unknowingly.

@Bill Bauer He wasn't right next to my ear tho. I was carrying him and he was actually quiet then suddenly started to cry with a loud voice. I went to urgent care 2 days later and got some methylprednisolone, took it for one day and I could barely walk the other day because my whole body was in...

The baby was actually near me when he cried but it was only a few seconds. I really hope this is temporary :( so that spike eventually faded away?

@Bill Bauer Have you had similar setbacks? What would you suggest?? Is there anything I can do to make this better?

That’s a relief for me.

So, have you had permanent spikes?

Have you ever got spikes from your baby screaming or crying?

Has it subsided?

I was even wearing my musician ‘s earplugs which I believe has a 15 dB protection. Because we were at my friend’s house and I wanted to be able to hear them talking. It’s two days passed now and I still have this high pitched tone that seems to be killing me from inside. I hope it subsides...

@JohnFox thank you for your kind words. I am really disappointed at my life right now and thought college would shift my focus from my tinnitus but it’s only accumulating to my stress. I tried to protect my ears as much as I could and wore earplugs everywhere. I think I may have made them more...

@Zinnia We are on the same boat. My tinnitus has doubled since two days ago when my friend’s brother (an infant) cried next to me. I don’t know what to do. Just hoping it will pass. Is yours still loud?

@Maddog are you feeling better?

Hi everyone, So 2 days ago I was exposed to a crying baby a few times that lasted a few seconds each time. Woke up yesterday with increased tinnitus and a weird sensation in my ears. My ear cracklings are worse too. Please help me! What should I do? Should I run to the urgent care and get...

@BobDigi I am experiencing exactly what you explained. Did yours go away?

@SashaG I took prednisolone two weeks after the noise exposure but it was a low dose (4mg each tablet). I’m not sure if it did anything. I felt as if I was getting worse while taking them. When was your onset? Watching tv with low volume is bad too? It’s kind of difficult for me to avoid...

@Telis I can completely feel you. I am having a spike too. Has yours gone back to the baseline?

I used to do video editing for 2 years which means I was using headphones everyday but I was super careful with the volume. I quit my job right after this and haven’t listened to any kind of music since then. I don't even watch tv with a volume higher than 5. I was only exposed to noise in a...

@Contrast thank you for your help. I hope I can pass through this and survive.

Did you had the popping and crackling sounds as well? I feel like something is physically wrong in my ears too. I also have this pressure imbalance feeling in my ears. I’m just praying it will go away. So you are still wearing protection and avoiding noisy places?

@Bill Bauer Thank you. It is a relief to know that it can be temporary. I am hoping it is :( if not I dont know what will happen to me. I am trying so hard to avoid noise exposure and wear earplugs almost everywhere even in my classrooms but sometimes it gets out of my control. My ears are so...

Was yours caused by a loud noise exposure too? Do you think ears recover from that? I sometimes get the muscle spasm in my ears too. Like yesterday I put a plate in the sink and it sled off and made a noise (not that loud tho) but I heard a pop in my right ear (the one that's clogged). I also...

@Contrast no I’ve done two hearing tests already but no hearing loss was found. I have been reading and researching almost everyday and I’m going crazy. All I see is there’s no cure or habituation. I feel like I am stuck in this situation and my good days are already gone.

@Contrast At that time I had mild ear pain with dizziness and tinnitus. So when they checked ny ears at ER they said your ears are infected from inside. I’m sure the noise exposure caused the inflammation and infection in my ears but the antibiotics cleared that. My tinnitus has stayed still...

Hello everyone, I have been reading the posts of different members on this forum since my tinnitus started 2 and half months ago. Finally I decided to put a post myself. My tinnitus started due to a one time noise exposure through my headphones at work. The volume was on max level and I forgot...
