Hi

I’m attending Louis concert in Melbourne for the first time in a couple of weeks. As I have sensitive ears, I want to be prepared for how loud the show is going to be, does anyone have an idea of the average decibel levels of his show and how loud can it get. How loud are the fans, I’ve seen some videos online and it seems like they are very loud. Are there some songs in particular that are louder than others that I should be aware of.

Thanks a lot

Hello,

So a couples of days ago I went plane spotting and I wore custom earplugs. I saw a couple of planes only. I’ve had etd for more than a year and it fluctuates.

Not long after, my ears were ringing, and were feeling blocked, especially the left side. On the night of the loud exposure I was having high pitched ringing in my left ear that lasted couples of seconds and that happened a few times, hasn’t happened since.

A couple days later my ears still feels blocked, full
and can’t equalise the pressure. When I hum, my own voice sounds louder and echoey. My hearing is okay, did some online hearing test, looks all good. I am having a hearing test next week just to be on the safe side and make sure my hearing hasn’t changed as I have pre-existing mild hearing loss. Also problem with having etd, I’m not sure if it’s just etd or hearing loss as well.

Do people often feel like their etd gets worse after loud exposure of any kind? It’s really annoying and feel like I can’t go anywhere when I have this issue.

I can’t really listen to music or anything cause it makes my ears feel worse, especially the blocked feeling but not having much sound sensitivity.

Is this experience normal and has anyone found seeing an ent helpful?

Thanks
