    Filming a Scene in a Crowd with Lots of Clapping — Advice for Protecting My Hearing?

    Thank you, Peter. I spoke to a friend last night and he said the same. I’ve watched a video on how to insert them and they are in now. 70 people in the crowd in a largish hall type theatre.

    Filming a Scene in a Crowd with Lots of Clapping — Advice for Protecting My Hearing?

    Hello, I am two weeks in with low level tinnitus. I am an actress and I have just seen I have to film a scene tomorrow with clapping. I will be in a group of people clapping over and over many many times as we film the take from many angles. This fills me with anxiety. I have foam earplugs...

    Hello, Please only reply with any positive thoughts.Only because more hard hitting stuff will not be good for me at the moment. I have had low level hissing for just over a week after a long cab journey with the window open. So, it is my left ear which was next to the open window. I have been...

    New to Tinnitus Caused by Neomycin/Polymyxin B/Hydrocortisone Ear Drops — Seeking Support

    Hello Rich, When I read your honest and raw post I felt many things. But the first thing I think is that it has only been ten days. I say this because I am on a very similar timeline to you and I also have been having some dark thoughts and am full of regret/fear/remorse etc. But I can't seem...

    Tinnitus Safe Alternatives for Headache Relief?

    I am a member of the Anxiety (especially where health is concerned) Club too so I feel you. I had not heard of Sonder but I LOVE the word and what it means. It's somehow both beautiful and sad. This forum is helpful in that we can support each other and we seem to be treading similar emotional...

    Tinnitus Safe Alternatives for Headache Relief?

    It's interesting that they don't say it's not a fully comprehensive test. I was most concerned about that I had killed the little hair cells in my ears, but she said absolutely not. For you, I am thinking the anxiety is really not helping but I completely understand, how are you meant to just...

    Tinnitus Safe Alternatives for Headache Relief?

    Hello, Thank you for all your kind and supportive thoughts for me. But oh no, yesterday was not good for you, was it much louder yesterday or was it more the anxiety mounting? I stayed in bed all day yesterday under massive weight of blankets and duvets and I had on the sound of the sea or...

    Tinnitus Safe Alternatives for Headache Relief?

    This is possibly daft but I also get a lot of headaches and some things I found that really triggered me were pumpkin seeds and eggs. I get less headaches since I gave these up. How are you today? We are at similar stages of anxiety time wise, give or take a month.

    Noise-Induced Tinnitus from Very Long Taxi Ride with Window Half Open Next to Me

    Just had my hearing checked by an audiologist. She said I have better hearing than her and she is twenty years younger than me. In fact I scored fractionally higher in my left ear (with the tinnitus) than I did in my right ear. She said to give it a week and see how my tinnitus gets on and try...

    Noise-Induced Tinnitus from Very Long Taxi Ride with Window Half Open Next to Me

    What I realise, after some experimentation last night, is that the hissing is only in my left ear, the ear that was next to the open window, I believe I can adjust my input to my over ear headphones to a low level in the right ear only when necessary to hear my fellow actors today. Still not...

    Hello Drachen, Thank you so much. A lovely and positive post, just what I wanted to hear. Yes, I take Magnesium to help me sleep and will continue to do so. And, yes, wherever possible I will self record without using my headphones. Thank you again, Very best, Bette

    Noise-Induced Tinnitus from Very Long Taxi Ride with Window Half Open Next to Me

    Hello Michael, A lot of optimism in your reply to my post and helpful advice. I am grateful to you. One thing that is an issue for me is that I have to use over ear headphones for work, as an actress/VO, for radio plays and sometimes connecting up with producers for VO work. Obviously this is...

    Hello, First I would like to say I am so grateful for the Success Stories section of Tinnitus Talk. I had joined a couple of Facebook groups but the Success Stories on here has made me far less terrified. Thank you. I have had tinnitus for 1 week, since January 2021. I have always protected...
