I've posted this before, but it's worth mentioning as often as the topic comes up.

My wife has meniere's disease, so we need to protect her hearing in all moderately loud situations, (bars, music venues, movies). In advance of SXSW one year, I bought her a pair of these: http://amzn.to/2gK8qZv

"Musician's earplugs", so-to-speak, they attenuate all frequencies more evenly than standard foam plugs would. In effect just turning down the volume of the world a bit, not muffling it.

I don't have meniere's, but do get drained by bars and loud music. I hate to seem lame by wanting to leave a party/bar early, so I bought a pair for myself recently. They're just fantastic. Highly recommend.



I was diagnosed with MD and I figured out what was causing it. I know that MD is a giant umbrella of different causes, but there's a small chance that my story could help her. Have her check it out, along with this study.

An interesting study: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22253033


Thank you very much. I'll show this to her.
