Hi,
During a trip into an aquatic park, i was talking to a lifeguard and suddenly he blew into a sport whistle (to warn a kid). I was into a pool and he was standing on the edge of the pool. Since then, i feel bad for my ears (in my state of mind, and i had strong tinnitus after i woke up next day, compared to the day before). I made research to know the danger of the sound produced by a sport whistle. I didnt know but it's high volume (more than 100db). Since then, i'm scared that this whistle could make my tinnitus worse. Since the tinnitus is not constant and the way we feel it is always changing, i'm not sure if it's the same or worse. I'm anxious and nervous. Those tinnitus make me mad. You know that feeling when you start to be paranoid about your tinnitus. Paranoid in the sense that sometimes you cant be sure that it's worse or not. And when you hear the tinnitus louder, you cant say if it's coming from something you have done or not (too loud music, something you eat...). It's a nightmare.
PS: I suffer from tinnitus in my right ear since 4 years (tinnitus is acute sound, high pitch).
