- Cause of Tinnitus
- Aircraft noises working outside with no protection
I'm Deni from New Zealand. Never knew I had tinnitus till we visited Doubtful Sound and the boar engines stopped so we could enjoy the silence. All I could hear was ringing and buzzing... I was looking around but nope... just me!
We used to live at the end of Whenuapai Air Base and I would often ask my other half if the engines were being turned over (as they regularly were). Again... nope... just me!
I have used earplugs for many years as I also cannot sleep with outside noise and have recently switched to Bose Sleepbuds II which I use at a level low enough to mask some of the tinnitus and some of the outside noise. The volume bar is about one tenth of the full level.
I am sleeping well for the first time in years... but am I worsening my tinnitus?
I can't say I've noticed a difference but would appreciate any input (no pun intended!)
Thanks for your time!
