Concert — Rihanna — Earplugs/Earmuffs
- Thread starter alexandrrax
- Start date
MemberI wanted to get customed plugs but there was no time!I got some plugs(obviously not me and my mom got the wrong ones) some plugs for airplanes, better than foam though, saying on the packet they reduce by 24-25 DB.And yes I am anxious, it is a bit better now but there is definitely a spike
Get a nice earplug, then decide what to do.
You know what else helps me? I got a decibel app on my iPhone, it helps me decide if the environment is really loud or if my mind is overreacting.

Guys it's been like 12 hours and I can't hear well still and the spike is there is there anything to make it better?I know it will go away in 3-4 days hopefully like last time I'm just so paranoid

Why did you go to the concert? Now you might have caused a lifetime of agony for a short pleasure...Guys it's been like 12 hours and I can't hear well still and the spike is there
I didn't mean like I was there to sell my ticket, the girl did not turn up, I paid a fortune and I went it, mostly heard her from the inside of the stadium so I was looking through the windows, seems like still affected by ears I know it is my fault
The paranoia makes it worse, it happened to me before but the fact that I don't know if it will go down like last time, kills me
Hey alexandra,
I am sorry that that happened. It should calm down...maybe try vitamin B and NAC or prednisone..I dont really know.
My foam plugs reduce 33db ? I thought most foam plugs were around that, not 25 db.
Because you manchend earlier that you got a spike from parties and clubs I assume you still went to clubs? What kind of earplugs did you wear then?
I hope this calms don very soon for you. I always thought clubs are worse than concerts...
Dont blame yourself, we need to live! I understand you were there, the girl didnt show up and a rihanna concert is something exciting. Let us know how it improves

I really really feel for you, but why did you go with the airplane plugs when you knew that they weren't meant for handling concerts?
I would try to mask the spike you're having right now and take some vitamins. They always make me feel better. Don't know if it actually works but the placebo effect seems quite strong.
Have patience. I think you'll be fine!

Yes but his T is not due to acoustic trauma at all so no issues for himjust saw an old post where Dr Nagler said he was going to a Rolling Stones concert. Draw your own conclusion from that
He mentioned some food allergies as reasons
I know you did not take my advice...but still i giving more advice..get prednisone ASAP.
......dont delay a single day..
Get prednisone now...if ENT does not give ... go to another one.
until you find a doctor who can give you prednisone.

You will most likely need a prescription as steroids can have a few side effects and such.
I hope your T gets better, but I also hope it you now know you should restrict yourself for "one night of fun" even if it was expensive, i would gladly have thrown the money away for piece of mind and not affecting T further.
Last new year's eve by accident I passed by someone lighting fireworks. I felt bad for maybe a week. Resting is important, trying to not freak out is almost impossible, but also important. Good luck and hope you get better.
I got the Prednison somehow I took it minutes ago but since I woke up seems like the spike is getting worse!I really don'T know what to do..one day passed and there's still the spike causing me to be anxious!Hopefully it is all gone away by Saturday..

I think the steroids take a while to have effect if they do.
I hope it settles down for you soon!
You really need to keep your noise exposure at moderate levels.
We don't wanna see anyone of us in more pain then we have to be.
Being anxious and focusing on it can make it worse too. Take the Prednisone, protect your ears around loud noises, and try to distract yourself as much as possible.I got the Prednison somehow I took it minutes ago but since I woke up seems like the spike is getting worse!I really don'T know what to do..one day passed and there's still the spike causing me to be anxious!Hopefully it is all gone away by Saturday..
Thank you guys!Seems like it went a very bit down since morning.I'm at the gym right now and the noise is goig between 65-80 db average 68(says my app) It isnt dangerous for an hour is it?I go gym everyday and I had no problems or spikes!(im just paranoid what if it makes it worse but it never ever did.)

Are you Irish Alex?My cousin was at that Rihanna concert too.Guys it's been like 12 hours and I can't hear well still and the spike is there
I felt better today, though my spike right now(at night) is the worst..it is ok during the day but at night I can hear it so loud!
Update the tinnitus is the same, didnt really notice it during the day but at night it is worse and I don't know why!!!!!

I really avoided noise since the concert, I went to the gym but it never ever affected my tinnitus.Seems like I really cannot cope with it at night though

Yes but you went to that concert nevertheless.
Do you use any masking?

I have a mild T and even sometimes I need masking..
So it's definitely a good idea.
If you have an iPhone there is are apps I use:
Phonak tinnitus
Nature space
Relax melodies
Starkey relax
And mynoise
I'm sorry, but risking that concert probably wasn't the best for your T.
Hope the masking helps!

How comes some people/musicians can continue with loud music and some can't??? Such a strange condition this is :/
