Consider using custom-made gel earplugs, which are specifically fitted to your ear canal. I personally use sleep plugs from GM Australia. These reduce external noise by up to 40 dB and cost around $150 AUD. Wind noise, which is a low-frequency sound, is particularly difficult to block as it can...

You are describing reactive tinnitus. You need to do an intensive audiogram. • You won't get this from a shopping center/mall audiologist or hearing aid seller. You need to determine two things: • The frequency or frequencies at which your tinnitus occurs. • The type of hearing loss you have at...

The answer is yes. You are more susceptible. However, you haven’t provided specific details about the acoustic trauma you experienced. Almost all sounds are complex in nature. Unless your trauma was caused by prolonged exposure to a pure tone, it’s likely that you were exposed to a variety of...

@Lasse S and @RunningMan, you’re correct. My audiologists—both of them—measured no more than six frequency points, broadly within the range of human speech. The goal seems to be finding just enough evidence to sell hearing aids, which is frankly embarrassing. When you consider how hearing loss...

These are NOT the only frequencies where hearing loss has occurred. Hearing loss is not static. It can get worse. It should be expected to get worse since it is (often) the result of cumulative excessive noise over time. The point is, a 6 point audiology exam will miss out on finding the...

This is my tinnitus sound. 1. 649.93 Hz (RHS) 2. 829.30 Hz (RHS) 3. 1102.88 Hz (RHS) 4. 11443 Hz (LHS) 5. White noise (RHS+LHS) #1 and #2 tones are random intermittent events and duration. I describe these as the flute tones. Durations are usually about 0.3 seconds, but can be a few random...

I had a few audiology tests and both indicate hearing is within normal range for age. I had the tests because I have tinnitus in both ears, with the left ear loudest. I couldn't believe that a hearing test would show nothing wrong. No hearing specialist I have seen so far, has asked me about...

The above test did not show the hidden hearing loss, in the range of 7000 Hz+. I have since done some audition testing at home on my computer, using Online Tone Generator, testing 250 Hz through to 8500 Hz, in 250 Hz increments, using standardised audio settings and same equipment each time...

Adelaide, South Australia. Male, 54 years old. I had my first Pfizer dose on 8 September, 2021, my second dose on 30 September, 2021. 3 weeks apart. The immediate symptom of my first dose, on day 1 post vaccination, I had a full head, brain fog, unable to function on 2 feet. Like being drunk...
