MemberHey guys, gals,
I don't there is a topic that really combines every peril for T/H sufferers, so this might be handy?
Whether you recovered, or have T and don't want it to worsen.
Not as an argument to lock yourself up, but to be educated and make the good choices from now on.
We could list it up here, and condense it to one topic so newbies don't have to dig through everything.
Starting with the obvious (but not in any important order)...
#1 Loud sounds, especially prolonged exposure. - Protect from this by: Earplugs, moving away from the sound, limiting exposure time. (Maybe we can include a link here to a topic that goes into more detail)
-Some people argue to refrain from headphone use.
(Loud: anything above 80 dB, for some people this is less)
#2 Valsalva Maneuver / Barotrauma, use the safe method to "clear your ears" (see: ...)
#3 Ototoxic medicines (like: ...)
#4 Physical hits on the ear (in fighting sports for instance)
... fill in!
