Why Do Some People Hate Bill Bauer?

If I’m out and it’s uncomfortably loud with earplugs in then I’m gone. I don’t risk it anymore.

The reduction with a properly sealed ear canal is around 1000 times less powerful in terms of energy.

 

Let's add hyperacusis to this discussion.

It might be that we have identical beliefs about what one should do to protect one's T-stricken ears.

 

I don't think noise protection is the most important piece of advice for tinnitus sufferers. Especially not if there are doubts about the cause of tinnitus disease.....

 

I think once you have TINNITUS what ever the reason you got it will make your ears sensitive to extra loud sound.
Mine is due to menieres but I still protect my ears when I feel the need to do so.

I’ll just add my two penneth.
A bad noise/volume is any noise that worries me, or annoys me.
Any gratuitous unnecessary noise will be blocked by me.
I’ve eaten in restaurants where the noise level is completely bloody barmy.
I will always plug up, or leave - pronto.
Why - because I’m not happy.
I go out to eat to enjoy myself - NOT TO RUN A BLOODY GAUNTLET!!
I try to be very cautious.
We have to remember that we all have different levels of damage, so our attitude to different levels of noise is bound to vary.
I tend to side with Bill on this.
Why take any unnecessary chances.

 

Never found @Bill Bauer’s posts to be scary.
I have had nothing but set backs with my H/TTTS because I chose the route of using ear protection only when necessary. Everything I’ve experienced has taught me I need to be extra cautious not just cautious, if my ears are to stand a chance of recovery. Exposure to sudden loud sound is unpredictable and it’s happened so many times. Trying to lessen this is a must for me. I maybe also need to try TRT if I can find someone who does it here, but that’s another story.

 

@Bassplayer It's a job that brain washes people.

 

I teach quantitative courses and keep any hint of politics out of my classes.

 

Brainwashing happens in high school and early education, not university.

 

In the United States, it climaxes in the universities.

 

Maybe easily manipulated people shouldn’t be going to university. Usually people have formed their opinions by that time and it’s more debate and exchange of ideas as opposed to significant manipulation which occurs at younger ages. Anyway going off on a tangent - it’s about hating @Bill Bauer.

 

What country / State Bill Bauer from ? Think his advice make perfect sense. If you feel the noise level it too loud, you have to protect your ears . I know for a fact my ears can’t handle noise above 80 to 90 dB . I used filter earplugs , all feel better.

 

My Ignore List got a little longer. Had to be done.

 

Three things not to talk about are: Politics, money and religion....

 

Look what you have done now @Bill Bauer! Even your job stirs up controversy.

 

Right when I thought this thread faded away, it comes back with more drama.

 

@Bill Bauer There's no doubt what Bill says is true about loud noise and tinnitus, but for many hyperacusis enters the mix. I know also having H that I can't wear noise blocking headphones for very long as it brings my hearing threshold down actually making me more sensitive to sound. For me, it's best to find a break time from protection in a quiet place such as when traveling. I have physical tinnitus of neck and facial so I never bend my head forward or off balance the slightest bit when wearing noise blocking headphones. The weight alone of headphones on my head isn't good.
