    Great article

    This bit could help if it were more well known:

    ⚠️ 👂🏽 Sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSHL) causes severe hearing loss and deafness (usually in one ear), tinnitus and sensitivity to sound

    The damage is normally permanent unless treated with steroid injections at a hospital as soon as possible 👂🏽

    The only preventable hearing-loss with a countdown I’ve ever heard of ⏰

  5. So I'm trying something new. My eldest child who has been diagnosed with ADHD had suggested I try using Loops earplugs. Now I don't know if I have any form of neurodiverse, at least I've never been diagnosed, but I do know that I have tinnitus. I've had it for years, and age and blood pressure probably doesn't make it any better. The pair of Loops I now have are supposedly good for helping tinnitus sufferers. Anyone ever try these? Anything I should know about?

    I hope this is okay to post here, tell me if not. It's generic advice from a reputable source.

    *edited to add: just found the interview with the "Chasing Your Tail" guy - Matt Edmondson - who was asked to make a tool to help people recognise when they were being surveilled. m.youtube.com/watch?v=cjXp3bBd I link to it here because the #privacyGuides guide above doesn't (I think) fully explain how much information your telephone's radios freely transmit about you. He's an OSINT instructor by trade, so he's able to articulate how that information can be exploited. Were I going to any sort of political event, it's the sort of thing I'd want to understand before hand. Maybe talk to people who have attended protests in spicy countries, &/or been on the receiving end of less-lethal weapons (CS gas, sonic, microwave, water cannon, etc). Ideally find a retired copper and get their advice too. Maybe even email your lawyer *before* going... I'd wager if one did this, then one would *really* appreciate the elegance of the 10 tips in the original poster. And maybe pick up some other hot tips along the way.

  9. Received my #loop #earplugs yesterday. I didn’t know what to expect. Wearing them now for a couple of minutes during normal family life activities and I’m like HOLY COW I’M NOT SO STRESSED!? That surprised me.

    Expecting a couple of friends later. Looking forward to test them out in a crowd.

  11. Does anyone have recommendations for earplugs for very tiny earholes? Every time I go to the doctor and they look in my ears, they go “wow you have really small ear canals” and most earplugs are moderately uncomfortable to unwearable. I had some Etymotics at the metal concert last night which definitely helped with noise reduction but also were moderately uncomfortable. I’d prefer not to go the over-ear route if possible.

  13. #Astuce #réemploi : pour économiser quelques euros, plutôt que d’acheter des protections d’oreilles, autant récupérer les oreillettes d’un vieux kit piéton mort depuis des années. L’effet sera le même ! ^^

  17. Lighthouse foghorn keeps people awake by going off every 13 seconds

    Faulty #lighthouse #foghorn has been keeping people awake for almost a week by sounding every 13 seconds

    Residents near Land’s End, #Cornwall, were advised to buy #earplugs after #Longships Lighthouse’s foghorn started going off every 13 seconds last week

    After six days of constant noise, they were warned they might have to wait even longer before the foghorn can be fixed

  18. Ich hab vermutlich zu spät dran gedacht, aber falls ein Wesen auf dem #38c3 vielleicht eine andere #Loop #Earplugs Größe trägt als M, ich hätte XS, und S und L zu tauschen gegen andere in M. Farbe wäre mir egal. #tauschbörse

  20. My noisy neighbours upped their game and so I decided to invest in some Loop Quiet 2s. They are the best yet. Much quieter than the Wutans and almost as comfortable. The only unknown is how long they will last. Perhaps I'll post an update in another 18 months!

  21. I've tested filtering and noise dampening #earplugs today in the #office. Life changing. Finally not listening in on all the conversations around me. But still I'm hearing if some talks directly to me.

  22. Why does Loop not recommend their Experience 2 Plus for any of the use cases they have on their list? Sure, I'll take the cheaper ones, but that's a weird "help me choose". #earplugs

  23. An alle Musikbegeisterten da draußen: welchen Gehörschutz benutzt ihr denn so für Proben, Konzerte, etc.? Ich habe kleine Ohren. Keine Ortoplastik. Irgendwelche Tipps? Erfahrungen mit Alpine, Sennheißer, Fischer?

  24. Has anyone here tried the earplugs Loop Switch? Curious to hear some feedbacks.

  25. Fellow #metalheads, remember that loud music and #earplugs are a package deal!

    They protect your hearing AND let you enjoy the concert more, because wearing them is not the same as turning the music down.

  27. Just bought some #loops #earplugs in the hopes that they'll help me register what the other person is saying the next time someone talks to me. Stupid background noise.

  28. Went to see #Metallica on their Detroit stop of the #M72 tour last night and boy do these old men still know how to bring the heavy. From the traditional #EcstasyOfGold opener straight into #CreepingDeath to the fire of #Fuel and the #MasterOfPuppets closer this was a perfect version of a Metallica live experience.

    Related, I brought two different #earplugs as well as #AirPodsPro gen 2 and I didn’t even need to switch around between them: AirPods Pro in Adaptive mode did a _fantastic_ job of attenuating the Bad Highs while letting the physical experience of the Good Lows do their job. No ear exhaustion, no ominous ringing after🤘

  30. @actuallyautistic who else sleeps with #earplugs.?

    I‘m very #sensitive to sound. Especially snoring and EMT vehicles. I also hear sounds on a higher frequency than others.

    On the other hand, people talking to me outside of my area of focus atm sound like gibberish to me. I often need to ask them to repeat which makes them mad.

  31. @douginamug Do yourself a favor and get #earplugs for about 30-50€ which usually come with a decent transport box.

    Those are so much better than the usual 30 Cent foam thingies where you only hear low frequencies.

    Unfortunately, it was only a couple of months ago that I've learned about them. So many #music #concerts would have been a dramatically better experience in sound. 😔

  32. In 1969, four baby elephants were introduced to Windsor Safari Park near Heathrow airport, but the planes were so loud it caused the babies to stampede. There could be only one solution: elephant earmuffs.
