So I've been recently diagnosed with tinnitus. Up until now, I've been working in EM and UC, but now....at a loss. Any loud noise is a risk for worsening my tinnitus and causing more damage, and goodness knows, almost every Urgent Care office is full of little kids screaming their heads off. You all know that an uncomfortable baby with fever and herpangina screaming their heads off during tongue depressor exam can reach decibel levels that even the best professional earplugs can barely mitigate...bringing it down from jet engine level to perhaps just about blender or lawnmower level most of the time.
Anyone working in or with Peds ever have to deal with this? What on Earth did you do?
