Five tips to prevent tinnitus at a festival
1. Know When You Can Get Tinnitus!
From 80 decibels or more can you get tinnitus. The length of the sound is also important. Noise of 85 decibels can be tolerated for about two hours. But when you’re in a festival tent, where the sound is about 95 decibels or moreyour ears can be damaged after fifteen minutes.
2. Wear hearing protection!
Preferably no foam caps. They distort the music and often don’t fit your ear properly. But something is better than nothing! The best are custom earplugs. Are they too expensive? Then buy earplugs with a music filter.
3. Follow the one meter rule of thumb!
Can’t understand your festival friends from one meter away? Then put on your hearing protection!
4. Give your ears a rest every now and then.
Therefore, take a fifteen-minute sound break regularly, even if you wear earplugs!
5. Read the good information about tinnitus. Try to avoid the horror stories.
You have an ailment and you go googling. Bad idea, because you always get the worst diagnosis. So avoid the horror stories and take the right information, for example via Hormi Foundation, or visit your doctor. Your GP can reassure you or refer you.
