Ear infections and tinnitus
Ear infection and tinnitus
Been riding for about 9 months now.
And after the first 3 months I started getting ear pain and some tinnitus.
I thought my ear protection wasn't good enough. So I bought a better helmet a windshield and started using double air plugs (foamies and wax ear plugs on top).
This mostly protected my hearing, and I did not have tinnitus after riding. However, this week I got a double ear infection, and it's very likely it's related to my hearing protection. It has been an incredibly painful week, and it's so bad that I might even give up riding.
Has anyone found good solutions for hearing protection? Something that protects you well enough from tinnitus on long 8 hour rides, but doesn't give you ear infections?
