Picked up some of these earplugs recently and highly recommend them. A nuclear bomb could go off down the road and you'd die of radiation poisoning before you ever woke up. Great for tuning in to the harsh inner critic while travelling this holiday season, so if you ever want to be trapped in your head with only the voices to keep you company, pick yourself up a box.

they don't drown out the louder tinnitus I got from my covid vax 😖

[-] Pilk@aussie.zone 6 points 2 weeks ago

I imagine they would have made tinnitus dramatically worse

[-] anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone 2 points 2 weeks ago

Did the vax do that? My tinnitus has got worse over the last couple of years and I can’t work out why

how good are they at blocking occlusion effects? 'cos I'm an absolute bastard for that.

[-] Pilk@aussie.zone 2 points 2 weeks ago

I'm not sure I've experienced occlusion effects so I can't say with confidence

for me I'm able to hear the movements of my own jaw when I use loops or similar. NOOOOOOOOOOPE

My Loops are great sitting still but I can't walk around with them. Every step gets a weird ringing ping impact thing. Unpleasant with squishy soled shoes, unbearable with hard.
