Diesel tractor engines, jet aircraft, loud music, and oh yeah, shooting most of my life. If you need hearing aids they can be programmed to cancel the ringing. Other than that I don't know. My hearing must be getting better, I'm hearing the ringing sound better...Just wondering if anybody else has a mild case of ear ringing from shooting over the years? Is there anything you do to help relieve it?
Hoping I'm not the only one out there.
Factories, shooting, and rock and roll.
Somehow it makes me feel better that Archer has it. I don't know why.
I have heard there are medications, but I'm not crazy about pills, or most doctors.
Nurses, on the other hand....
To any of the younger guys reading this:
Wear ear pro!
Buy a suppressor!
Turn your music down!
I’m not even an old guy yet, but I don’t doubt I’ll have the same hearing problems when I’m older, due to poor decisions when I was younger. I’m not looking forward to it.
WHAT??!!Huh?
Ditto exactly. I am glad I have the cicadas chattering instead of ringing. Told the doc about it. He didn’t seem all that interested.My tinnitus sounds like cicadas. I remember the first time I noticed it was in bed at night. I thought someone left a window open and asked my wife if she heard the cicadas. I don't usually notice it unless I think about it, then it's there. I also have trouble understanding conversations in noisy crowds now so I try to avoid that. Some day I will break down and get some hearing aids.
I think the whole swarm of cicadas stay just above and to the right my head.Ditto exactly. I am glad I have the cicadas chattering instead of ringing. Told the doc about it. He didn’t seem all that interested.
^^^This^^^ Cicadas, crickets and tree frogs... Fortunately those are sounds I like! It's always a summer evening in my head.My tinnitus sounds like cicadas.
