Really? Sorry to hear that. I always felt so alone with the sensitive ears thing. I wear earplugs because we could never afford the good quality noise cancelling headphones. Also I tend to get embarrassed about my sensitive ears, so my hair hides the earplugs lol! Thank you for the suggestions though. I should really check them out! I appreciate it!!
Earplugs work, but I like the low profile ear muffs, as I can put them on and take them off as needed, without worrying about getting a proper fit, handling them with dirty hands, dropping one, etc. For example, if I am at the gym, there is always at least one guy that likes dropping the weights, making a metallic crash every time. I just put on the ear muffs, problem solved. I am not sure if noise canceling headphones will work as good in that situation.

In any case, its good to protect your hearing. Many people don't.

I definitely understand what you mean with the earplugs. I keep an earplug in my left ear 24/7 because I had surgery on my eardrum in 2009 because I had a big hole in it from all the ear infections I had growing up, but unfortunately the repairing of my eardrum made noise unbearably loud for me! I can't handle it! I HATE the sound of metal crashing! I hate it when glass dishes clank together too! I'm glad the ear muffs work! That's good to know! You're right, a lot of people damage their hearing!

2016 Ford Mustang GT Premium
Hey everyone, name is Eli. Ordered our GT Premium back in January, took delivery of it at the end of April, and before a week could go by took it out on the Tail of the Dragon & Devil's Triangle. Traded in our paid off '13 Base Cyclone Mustang with BBK Long Tube Headers, BBK Shorty Catted X-Pipe, Pype's Pype Bomb M80 Mid Muffler Cat Back, and BBK 73mm Throttle Body for it. Was sad to see it go, but it sold in less than a month from trade in so it's hopefully in a good home. Transferred the "STOCK V6" plates from the '13 over, until we come up with something different or might just let it ride. All ready purchased Pype's Pype Bomb Muffler Delete/Resonator Tips and Heart-Throb H-Pipe to go on the '16, just waiting for wider stepped band clamps before putting both on (had bad experiences with the provided clamps havign exhaust leaks & loosening). Pictures of our '13 and '16 in front of the Big Metal Dragon at the TOTD Store (in Deals Gap). Pictures were taken around a month and a half apart.

Oh hello again!!!! Well I like the Ecoboost too, and especially if it sounds badass! Do you happen to know if Pub 46 still has the Mustang Monday meetups? Perhaps we can meetup one of these days!

I can't say for an ear drum repair. But I have read that if you wear hearing protection all the time, the ears can become even more sensitive. They need to have some background noise. For example, if you were camping in nature, you will hear loud crickets and maybe wind blowing.

Generally you want be cautious of anything over 85 dB. Over 95 dB , its time for hearing protection, or its time to go. If you like gadgets, you can shop for a decibel meter, and measure stuff, and see how noise levels compares to how you perceive it.

Actually I have heard that too about hearing protection. Perhaps I should've gotten use to the noise instead. I love the sound of wind and crickets lol just saying, they don't bother me, but I know that was just an example you gave me. Yeah that is a lot of DB and that would probably upset me. That sounds very interesting. I'd like one of those.
