Worried After Cinema — Didn't Wear Earplugs — Tinnitus Didn't Spike — Still Worried

[Huradozih]

Hi all. I just returned from the cinema. I saw "Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald", but unfortunately I was without earplugs.

Now I have no spikes or whatsover, my tinnitus is still the same, but still I am worried just because I was not wearing any earplugs.

The movie was not so loud, only when there were action segments.

I'd like to know if I am unnecessarily worrying or not

Thanks.

When my T was very mild and my H was very mild, I saw Spiderman Homecoming in the movie theaters and suffered no spikes.

Loud cinema noise affects different tinnitus sufferers to different degrees. Personally I am not able to go to the cinema even with earplugs because the level of noise has such a negative impact on my tinnitus - and having habituated primarily by being extremely careful about noise exposure, I don't want to risk that. Other sufferers will maybe have far less severe reactions - you can only go by your own experience and if you haven't experienced any spikes so far you should be OK.

My 5 cents opinion - "You should be OK."

@Red @david c @robHing thank you for your replies.

After 12h I am not experiencing any spikes or whatsoever, I guess yesterday I was in panic mode for no reason!

How I hate my anxiety -_-

No disrespect, but some of us here ARE suffering spikes so it's a tad insensitive to post worrying about a spike that hasn't happened?

Are you worrying uncessarily? Of course you f*%king well are. Worry when you HAVE got a spike.

I am glad that you are OK now.
Anxiety is another kind of problem.
I pray to all T friends in this forum.
We all need support and advice.
