    Porn and Tinnitus

    Completely agree with that... I think the human brain isn’t really prepared to this amount of stimulation. I mean porn is pretty recent in human history. In the ancient times you could spend a whole life without seeing the quarter of what you have access to nowadays in 1 week of traditional porn...

    Porn and Tinnitus

    A completely silly question from a tortured man by tinnitus. Can tinnitus be aggravated just by looking at some porn pictures? I explain myself, I'm in a sort of sexual abstinence (NO FAP) and try to control as much as I can my sexual arousal and of course I avoid watching porn... But once in a...

    Motorcycles Loud Exhaust

    @robHing I'm completly agree ! That's the reason why i'm so concerned ! But do you think that an exhaust system of a motorcycles who rev up loudly his engine at 50 feet from where you are with the exhaust not in your direction and for 4 seconds max could cause you to get a new T ?

    Clothes Steam Generator Iron — Is It Dangerous?

    Today my mom was using it while I was walking near by her and she released a big "PssssshhhhhhhhHHhhh"... I was maybe at 10 feet. It was a very unpleasant sound! It didn't hurt though but I am very scared because the noise was really loud. Is there a way to get damage from that kind of noise?

    Is It Possible to Get Used to Morse Code Type Tinnitus?
