I tried to open a butter tub (stupid) - it popped LOUDLY (90 dB per decibel meter).
I KNEW it would happen. I tried to use towel to dampen the sound but I wasn't gentle enough. That's another exposure, and another step closer to potentially catastrophic hyperacusis/tinnitus.
Will I get a setback from this?
Usually I would have asked mom for help but she's asleep. I didn't have to eat anything. It was avoidable. I should have bought quieter foods a long time ago. Left ear's foam earplug was halfway out of the ear! I've been using the same earplugs all day because running out. Peltors might have also been compromised by wearing glasses. It's the same stupid decisions every time - do I never learn? Now the left ear hurts a bit - freaking out.
Too late now!
