Don't mean to offend, but if it is serious enough to concern you, you shouldn't be posting on an audio forum for advice; you should be seeing a physician/hearing specialist as j_garcia mentioned.

I can't see the last post, but I was being serious with mine. Tilt your head and pour Hydrogen Peroxide in your ear until it's almost full. Might want to warm it up a little as it might might you dizzy if it's too cold. Leave it in there until it stops bubbling OR for a few minutes. Repeat on other ear.

NEVER clean your ears deeply with q-tips. Earwax is actually helpful though so you don't want to remove all of it, but like everything...in MODERATION.



...something this country can't seem to grasp when it comes to food :eek::D:D

I'm not specialist, so I would HIGHLY recommend trying to get in to one if you can. Possible inner ear infection, which would cause dizziness, fatigue, poor sight if extreme, etc. GO SEE A DOC

Going to see doctor in few day's.

I'm however still with important question lately still haven't found answer to might sound little dumb.

Like can subwoofer pumping out 100 dB damage hearing just as easy as normal speaker ?

Or does bass waves less damaging at 100 dB then for example high freq sound waves at 100 db ?
I'm heavyly autistic verry paranoid which why i asked here for questions in first place.


@ousooner2

I never used those things would't dare if heared it can be much harm.
However if been pouring water in both my ears while showering sometimes, Before this never did this ever not even in 10 years.

the level's i usualy listen movies at like 60 70 dB voices, 80 when music pops in

with peaks off 100 dB when for example iron man 2 fly by scene

You guy's probably gonna just say their safe level's

still i am worried.

especialy considering this chart.

Noise Level (dBA) Maximum Exposure Time per 24 Hours
85 8 hours
88 4 hours
91 2 hours
94 1 hour
97 30 minutes
100 15 minutes
103 7.5 minutes
106 3.7 minutes
109 112 seconds
112 56 seconds
115 28 seconds
118 14 seconds
121 7 seconds
124 3 seconds
127 1 second
130–140 less than 1 second
140 NO EXPOSURE

This chart makes me wonder if i should set the lfe level for
dts dd dolby true hd dolby master HD pcm etc.

from 0 dB to like -10 or even -20

Which why i have this question about subwoofer decibels being just as harmfull or not.

i have a svs sound PB12nsd dsp btw those wondering they can go verry loud.

edit: last 2 day's if not suffered hearing tones different each ear either so it just lasted like 1 hour maybe.

What you have is diplacusis binauralis. This is often the first manifestation of sensineural hearing loss usually involving the cochlea.

Unless you have associated balance and vertigo problems it is very unlikely you have Meniere's disease. In the early stages vertigo is nearly always dominant with hearing problems following later.

You need an audiogram to test your hearing.

You problem usually has noise induced damage as its cause.

You need hearing protection and you need to turn your music down! This is especially so, if you use headphones or ear buds.

never use head phones.

moved my 2 rears up to 2 feet above me now instead off near ear level.

from 0,60m distance to 1,20m now.

do known that quite long time ago like 1 maybe 2 month probably had some water comming out off my ear that was bit redish but my hearing remained fine did't hurt.

I feel for you though. I've got a crackling sound in my left ear and I don't know what it is. I keep putting off a few simple tests, but maybe I'll do them today. I almost feel like they're frequency sensitive...so there's an area (or a few different) frequencies that my ears are sensitive too and it makes my ears start crackling like I'm at a loud concert. My right one never does it, just my left.

Anyone have any tips for that?

That is a classic history and presentation of noise induced hearing damage. The crackling is coming from the dying hair cells in the cochlea.

Well bummer lol :eek:

Use hearing protection round machinery such as lawnmower, grinders, saws etc.

If you use any type of headphone or in ear device be very careful and keep the volume low.

Keep your rig well turned down. Stay below 85 db.

If you go to rock concerts ware ear plugs.

How low?

For example, I use in ear headphones when I mow the lawn via an iPhone. I do care about my hearing, so I have turned on the volume limiting option on and set it to about 80% or so of maximum. However, unlike with a conventional system, I can't readily measure the actual volume. I'd gauge it to be no louder than I normally listen (probably average levels around 80dB), and I've never experienced symptoms that I can recall such as ringing in the ears or crackling as a result of listening on either my system or my ear buds (although I have experienced ringing/pain from other things).

Thoughts are appreciated.

When you do that I suspect levels are higher than you think. I would bet your ear buds to not block the sound of the mower by any means, so you are driving the music to be heard over the mower. Unless you use a device with a good seal, then what you are doing is bad practice.

If it does do a good job of excluding the sound of the mower, then this is not good either, as using dangerous equipment like a lawnmower and excluding noise is a very hazardous practice.

My guess is that the seal is pretty good. It certainly cuts the perceived volume of the mower considerably even with no music playing (ie in between songs). Music I'm listening to also doesn't disturb the outside world (ie my wife) when I'm doing other activities such as putting a few miles on the stationary bike while she watches TV.

Obviously it's not best practice to give up a sense when mowing the lawn, but I'm not sure how much worse that is than if I were to use ear plugs as hearing protection while I mowed either.
