My hearing isn't terrible, but in noisy restaurants I have a hard time following conversations. I get tinnitus regularly (not constant) now too.
I've listened to a bunch of concerts and nightclubs, but I think its sitting behind the computer for 40 hours/week with headphones on that really killed my hearing. It doesn't have to be so loud, just combined with lots of hours each day isn't good.
I've started getting regular hearing tests and cut back headphones to a few hours a week, but I miss the music.
Don't overdo the headphones!!
- rhinoceraptor 8y agoConcert earplugs might help a bit in noisy restaurants. I have a set of Etymotics that I like.
- toper-centage 8y agoBut then how can you follow conversations? Do they somehow only block background noise?
- rhinoceraptor 8y agoConcert earplugs are designed to reduce the sound level, but without muffling any frequency ranges like foam earplugs do.
