Yep, crying babies are a trigger for me too, and screeching children in general—it’s so annoying! :/

Earplugs keep falling out of my ears :/ idk if this is even viable, I might have to try different tip sizes. Kinda nervous to do that though since last time I went one size higher and it felt uncomfortable but might be because I didn't insert it correctly idk. This is annoying.

I wish I could go back to my previous baseline so bad now... :(

If you really want to go to the festival and take the risk, at least bring double hearing protection—earmuffs plus earplugs underneath—just to be safe.

Isn't it awesome to get blasted with literally every sound like the whole day. Totally didn't happen to me today, even with earplugs, holy shit, you can't make this shitty luck up...

Seems like I'm fine. Gotta be more careful next time, I seem to lose my balance quite easily...

I just fell on the stairs and hit my head... Just my luck... Hopefully nothing changed and things are normal. I hope

Personally, I haven't had songs get stuck in my head, but I sometimes experience lingering noises, especially if they sound like tinnitus. They can stay in my head for quite a while. Auditory hallucinations really suck. :( I wish you the best, and hopefully, it improves for you.

Hope you're doing well man, from one Finnish guy to another.

permanent spike...

I’d say it’s safe, but make sure to take frequent breaks—a lot of breaks. And keep the volume very low. I personally use 4% volume on Windows. The longer you listen, the higher the risk, so avoid any 10+ hour binges like I, unfortunately, have done.

no pain anymore it was probably something else causing that, but the ringing still persists in my left ear. Very loud. :/

I hope I can reach that point too. As a musician, navigating this condition has been nothing short of awful. :(

I have actual pain in my left ear as well and both ears have loud tinnitus what have I done?... :(

Custom-made as well. Wow, that sucks. :( I was thinking about getting custom-made earplugs, but if the risk still exists like this, then I don't know if it's worth it. I mean, they aren't exactly cheap...

It's a shame it's a cumulative condition. I wish it could improve more than just worsen. I wish you and everyone the best of luck as well. My luck has been awful :(

That's understandable and makes sense. Hopefully it improves for you soon. Setbacks are always a pain.

I agree, but it truly is a shame having to give up music events like this. :/

That sounds like mine, it's like a whistling tone that intrudes all of the sounds, right?

I think my T's volume baseline has increased a lot as well. I'm so frustrated...

That truly sounds like a pain. :( For me, it hasn’t changed into anything else. Occasionally, it mimics other sounds, but the loud whistling is always the main one. And yes, you’re probably right about stopping the research. It’s harder to habituate when you’re constantly reminding yourself of...

I just realized some songs don't sound the same to me anymore they sound so different, I think I have actually officially permanently worsened my hearing. :(

Yeah, I can relate. I’m pretty sure mine was due to my own mistake. I accidentally had my headphones on at 100% volume with white noise for about a second. Even though I lowered the volume afterward, that brief spike seems to have caused a reaction, possibly permanent, though I’m not sure. It...

Yes, I mean I experience sound distortions. The whistling sound kind of flutters and flares up in volume when certain sounds aggravate it. It was really quite awful in the beginning, but I've gotten more used to it over time, as I mentioned earlier. I used to listen to music and even make...

I’m sorry, I’m just really frustrated right now. It feels like my hearing has diminished more after this recent flare-up. The tones I hear haven’t changed much, but unfortunately, the tinnitus seems to have gotten a bit louder. I’m sorry you also had to experience that loud tone from the XM4s...

Didn't expect for this site to get updated. It's been a really long time coming. It'll take some time to adjust to this new look though.

That's good to know man. Thanks again.

This is actually really helpful to know. I've made the same mistake in the past: "This doesn't sound that loud anymore, let me turn it up a bit." It happens. I also mix my music at low volumes and have done so ever since I developed this issue. I've never used a treble filter and am not sure...

Hmm this spike seems to be lasting quite a while... Could possibly be a permanent increase but idk. Ugh... What a condition...

Idk if it has improved I feel I lost like at least 20% of my hearing ability. And I can only blame myself for this one. :/

I hope so too—thank you! Fingers crossed that this setback is only temporary. :notworthy:

Hey, I’m sorry to hear that. :( I don’t want to scare you, but I’ve been dealing with this ever since my tinnitus began two years ago. It has gotten better, but a few days ago, it flared up again like wildfire. Over time, it did improve, and the distortions lessened a lot, especially as I...

I hope so too, thanks! It feels like I’m losing more and more of my hearing every year. There have been many situations where I’ve been reckless, and now those decisions are catching up to me. Not using earplugs consistently when I’m in the city is one example. Also, I’ve spent prolonged periods...

Music production and tinnitus/hearing loss don't mix so well. No pun intended.

I feel the same way; it’s truly debilitating. One minute, I’m not thinking about it, and the next, it flares up because I make some mistake that leads to loud noise, like going to the dentist. Life is full of loud noises, and it’s certainly not fair that there isn’t a cure. :(

I’ve had mine for two years now. :( It has gotten better, but it’s still noticeable and continues to bother me. I often regret my past decisions. :/ I hope you’re having a better day than I am today.

That's what I get for being stupid I guess. I never seem to learn. Wishing for better days right now...

Dont make my mistake. I hope I didnt absolutely wreck my hearing like the first time again. This is not fun. Sounds are all muffled again :/

Lovely combination. Postnasal drip and Tinnitus. Yay...
