I am wondering what is the right Noise Reduction Rate (NRR) for shooting at the range. I’m trying to buy in bulk and found some decent deals but i need to know what to get. I keep hearing NRR32 is pretty good but i don’t know.

Had slight ringing in right ear. Went to Ear Nose and Throat Doctor. Did tests. Passed all, everything was ok, hearing, no fluid, no wax, and the tiny hairs were not damaged.

Trying to find the cause of the tinnitus. Not taking any medications. Have narrowed it down to a couple things though….

-6 months ago I dove into shallow beach, hit head on sand…no concussion
-My girlfriend said I grind my teeth at night, I had my overbite corrected, and now have slight TMJ
-7 months ago I shot a loud rifle with no ear protection

I just noticed the tinnitus a month ago though….any help is much appreciated and will do best answer and 5 stars for good advice…

hi im rick a 30 mi have had tinnitus for 4 years but im sick now with fluid behind ear and si nuses are plugged and my tinnitus has seemed louder anyone have this exp and did it get a little better when you got better

I was on invega and it gave me tinnitus. I have been off the invega now for 2 months and still have the tinnitus and I think I am still slowly losing hearing. What can I do to prevent further hearing loss? Thank you! Also is the tinnitus the hearing loss or is hearing loss and tinnitus two seperate things? I am confused about that. If it is the same thing that as long as I have tinnitus I will have hearing loss then how do I cure the tinnitus. If it is seperate please let me know. Also can my ears just get better on it’s own? I mean is there a time frame in which I will just stop losing hearing? I have been off now for 2 months please help. Because if I go on another medicine I feel like the tinnitus gets louder and I am scared that means the hearing loss is worse and I need medicine so I dont know what to do.

Is this a sinus infection?
Huh?

I mean there is a little ringing in my ears…meaning it is not prominent.
