Yes we do llilly,we have alot of new newbies here.and thanks for bring the subject up..Nick.....

First of all, Happy Holidays! Now, for my topic. As some of you know, I like to go out to bars, clubs, sporting events, and such. I always use either foam earplugs (max protection) or silicone earplugs (very good protection). However, the foam earplugs can irritate my ear canals after a few hours, or sometimes even sooner. With the silicone, I deal with the "occlusion effect," in which the earplugs exaggerate the perceived...

Steve Could be something seasonal maybe, or a reaction to something you are allergic to. Maybe eustachian tubes a little blocked? I imagine there are a number of possible causes. I experience new and different sounds that appear to originate from my good ear(non tinnitus ear). They have always been temporary and of varying durations. First few times I experienced then I was concerned, but now I don't worry because I know they will...

No, my case is well identifying: acoustic trauma by car accident with 3 airbags deflagration, in last February, after 23 years of mild T by gunshot in Special Forces. I believe your case is far easier to repair, and I hope so! My hope is the true Neramexane do something for me in January 2010 and induced stem adult cells take care, definitively, of my case in a near future. There is no more hope to T suffers, by what is in trials in this...

I've had two MRIs, one about 20 years ago (pre-T), the other in '06. The more recent one wasn't loud at all, and even the earlier one was bearable without earplugs. I guess nowadays I'd take earplugs but I don't recall it being any noisier than driving down the highway, probably even less.

Eric I don't know who has figured it out. Just because someone wears earplugs doesn't mean they are doing so responsibly.. I am not suggesting you personally are wearing them inappropriately. I am just suggesting that people not overprotect...

Have to reiterate what oz greg said, "I find that if yu keep busy then you notice it less' and remember what works for one, does not necessarily work for another. I went the same route when I first got the t and experience exactly the same thing, its really trial and error.

Of course one should not drink 3-4 cups before bedtime. If you read what I wrote I only use a half filled coffee cup before bed. Okay, just use those damn pharamceutials that have "testing" done on them and dispite all the "proven" tests people have very adverse physical effects. Pop your "scientificially tested" pills and live happily ever after. It is a good product. But I will not be...

No real problem,except the loud noise, and I'm somewhat clausterphobic. Yes, they gave me earplugs, and a small towel to put over my eyes. I never saw how closed in I was, but sometimes I pictured it in my mind,and I would get nervous. I tried to think about beautiful landscapes and the ocean, and I sang songs in my mind.,that helped.
