How it works
Noise exposure damages cochlear hair cells and can worsen existing tinnitus or cause new tinnitus. Protection prevents cumulative noise damage.
Custom hearing protection from an audiologist offers better sound quality than foam plugs for musicians and regular concert-goers.
Strong evidence that noise exposure worsens tinnitus and that protection prevents this. Universally recommended as the most important modifiable risk factor.

“Some improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.”
