As per the requirements of my job I get annual hearing tests.
I haven't lost any hearing since starting there 8 years ago.

You only get hearing loss/tinnitus if you PLAY IT LOUD like an absolute retard or use a headphone amp that's cranked up too high.

Me, though it happened after I tried to kill myself with a bottle full of tylenol. I was forced to stay at the hospital for about a month and given anti-depression pills.

The weird thing was that just around before I actually gulped the whole bottle of tylenol I used to hear voices and see a hallucination of a little doll dressed in red (can't remember if it moved or not). Anti-depression pills for a month made that go away. They tried to make me keep taking them but they were making me feel "detached" but the voices and the doll never came back.

Anyway after all this I've developed moderate tinnitus that never goes away and only gets worse sometimes. It's annoying as shit and I wished I would have grabbed a bottle full of benadryl. Maybe I would have been better off dead desu.

>>58858075
Tylenol is just acetaminophen, extremely dangerous for your liver, non-psychoactive at all, and known to cause inner ear issues in extreme doses. You're retarded.
Benadryl on the other hand is relatively safe and extremely psychoactive in large doses

>>58858075
How about stop trying to off yourself thnx

>>58858268
And when I say extremely dangerous for your liver, I mean you will not die quickly. You will suffer in extreme excruciating pains with liver failure until the paramedics find you and being you to the hospital where they will pump your stomach and do dialysis-like procedures, very easy to stop lethal liver failure and you will still be in excruciating pain the entire time

>>58858075
women and faggots try to get attention by overdosing with pills

the body will vomit them up and then you'll end up in pain in the hospital, costing everyone around you a fortune to fix you

Yeah I know but DPH (benadryl) in large doses stops the heart though people are too pussy to gulp down a 500 pill bottle so they sip a quarter of that with bottles of vodka.

>>58858287
My parents are divorced, I stay with my drunk dad and his drunk brothers in a smelly basement, my mom deeply regrets ever given birth to me, I don't see my brothers or sisters because they live with my mom and she cusses me out if I get near them, I dropped out of HS and still don't have my GED, work at a shitty warehouse for minimum wage...

I'm still alive and I'm working hard but it's getting tough you know? It's getting real tough and many times at night I get this really cold rush of emotional pain that feels physical as I do my best to hold back the tears as my sleep-deprived and heavily tired body goes to sleep.

Not a day goes by without me thinking about how peaceful it would have been if I had chosen that bottle of benadryl instead.

>>58858675
Robotussin has dextromethorphan which is a powerful dissociative, you need to down at least a whole bottle to get high (and preferably without the dangerous acetaminophen, get the blue box not the green box)
Benadryl and ZZZquil has diphenhydramine, a powerful deliriant. People like to spread the "700 club" meme for 700mg doses of DPH
A DPH trip is powerful and extremely psychoactive but I wouldn't necessarily call it "fun" it's called a deletions for a reason.
Also they mix fairly well being dissociative/deliriant mix, a good 300/300 mgs mix is generally the starting dose for people wanting to try DXM+DPH
I would personally just recommend two bottles of DXM and like 2 benadryls (not for the DPH high, but to prevent DXM itchiness)

You have to take at least 5mg/KG of body weight.

But I highly recommend you don't ever fucking do this. DPH ain't nothing to fuck with, I seriously haven't ever found a "recreational" use for it. This shit is fucking nightmare fuel, it's 0% fun.

I once took half a gram of that shit and say shit scarier than shit you see in saw movies. The worst part is you get this huge feeling of impending do the whole time the drug is in your system.

Fuck DPH, seriously.

>>58858679
The lethal single dose of DPH is somewhere past 2000mg

It hurts when you fucking grew up with them and suddenly get disconnected from them. I'm sorry you're an only child who had no one to share his upbringing with but I lobe my family.

You think it's easy keeping cool when everything around you is going to shit? It was drop out and start working or hang myself. It was a tough choice to make but I had to do it.

>>58858946
Same, I hear less through my right ear. Left is perfect.
Also I have perfect vision on my right eye but blurry on the right one.

The study didn't even look at headphone/earphone usage, it just acknowledged that a portion of people who didn't work in a noisy job who still had a hearing defect (20%). They then give some very generic advice on how you can prevent hearing loss:
>Noise reduction and avoidance can prevent hearing loss or slow its progression. This can be accomplished by avoiding high volumes on personal listening devices; reducing listening time to high volumes of music; taking breaks from exposure; requesting lower volumes in public settings (restaurants, movie theaters); using quieter products (e.g., household appliances, power tools, recreational vehicles); reducing equipment noise by replacing worn or unbalanced machine parts; moving as far as possible from the loudest sound-producing source, such as loudspeakers or cannons at college stadiums; and using hearing protection devices (2,3). Hearing protectors need to fit well to reduce noise exposure effectively.

Your relationship with your parents usually gets much much better when you move out and they don't have to look at you every day
Or you could just start making meth and selling it because you're broke from supporting you daily-drinker parents and your shithead friends are robbing them for $80 at a pawn shop, that's what normal people like me would do

not like my dad sees me everyday either, hell the failure of a man barely wants to talk to me when he's sober. Most I hear from him is when he asks me to pay my share of rent money.

>Or you could just start making meth and selling it because you're broke from supporting you daily-drinker parents and your shithead friends are robbing them for $80 at a pawn shop, that's what normal people like me would do

>>58859510
Do you ever hear a faint buzzing or ringing sound when you take your headphones off?

Because if so then you might have caught tinnitus from a drug you took.

>>58859612
In silence I hear a very faint buzz but I don't know if its tinnitus. Also I've never done drugs.

>>58857739
For as long as I can remember.

Annoying, but when it has been so long it's not that big of a deal.

>>58859653
>Also I've never done drugs.
You'd be surprised how many OTC drugs can cause tinnitus.

Anyway go see a doc to confirm whether you have any hearing damage.

>>58859750
None of them in normal doses
But you're not eating inhalers, chugging cough syrup or are so attention-deprived you down a bottle of Tylenol so you're fine

>>58857570
I've been listening to headphones all my life and I can hear up to 18.5kHz. Checkmate, OP.

I have high frequency hearing loss and cannot hear much past 10Khz with a dip in the middle frequencies. Chronic tinnitus since 2006. Constant hissing. Pulses with my heartbeat to a degree. Facial movements affect it. Certain drinks (coffee) and drugs affect it. Also anxiety makes it worse. I have grown used to it for the most part but occasionally it is really intrusive. Learning to accept it is the hardest part. No cure yet.

>>58857739
I think I have it, but its hard to tell over the constant electrical hum in my place. I rarely get to be where its completely quiet.

stab yourself in the ear with a sharp pencil

The constant hiss from my poverty tier devices must definitely have done some damage.

>>58864602

He's right.

Most damaging frequencies are in 3000-4200 Hz range.

Has something to do with resonating frequency of ear itself and everything in that range is actually amplified.

I've fucked mine with angle grinder and some large sheet of metal. I literally felt something snapping in my head.

Also loud fucking cars with MT tires and rolled down windows at highway speeds during summer for hours.

Can't hear CRT whine anymore and have high pitched tinnitus in that range.

>>58857739

I do, but I blame inadequate earpro when doing room clearing drills at the military more than I do headphones. When I'm going to the range off duty, I learned to double up on earpro, but there's always some retard who didn't notice a ceasefire and starts blasting away when I take it off.
So yeah, learned to live with the EEEEEEEEEEEEE.
