Cause of Tinnitus
Unsure
Today I was at a car workshop and on the other side of my car someone used the pressure blower (hope you guys who drive know what I mean it is shape like a metallic stick the blows out air that gives a loud shhhhhhh sound).

Upon hearing that I quickly move away and thus was exposed to maybe 10 seconds.

Will it worsen my T or cause further damage? Very worried it might worsen. Should have just cover my ears and regretted not doing so.
 
Hi I'm sure you will be fine. I use air lines all the time, it's part of my job being in the motor trade. But never fool around with air lines . There is 90 to 120 psi of pressure coming out of that air blower.
 
I wouldnt have gone to a car workshop without ear plugs in.
Exactly. I went to a tire shop few days ago and the plugs were in the whole time. From the impact wrench to the tires popping when inflated....I was glad I had them in.
