Can Whale Watching (Engine Noise, Announcements) Make Tinnitus Worse?

[mont293]

I was wondering if anyone had/has any experience whale watching. I found one in my area. And a bit worried about the loudness of the engine as well as the announcements. I have a pair of earplugs I use for sleeping. Which I think have a high dB reduction. I purchased Eargasm earplugs but I'm not happy with them.

I'm currently going through a spike and wanted to talk to my doctor, a tinnitus specialist about custom earplugs. But the appointment isn't for a week.

It's such a nice day and I was up to go. But these concerns came up. I'm thinking I should hold off for now until I'm sure and not do it on a whim. And probably call my doctor next week about the custom earplugs.

Any suggestions/advice is appreciated. I guess I could always go when it gets colder up until November.
