Greetings All! Does anyone have information on headphone usage when you have a VS? The reason I ask is I saw someone talking about wearing earplugs to protect ears in flight, etc. I transcribe on the side and sometimes have headphones on for four hours to get the job done. It is not blaring, but when I am finished with the job, or when I take a break and remove them, there is a period of time where I feel deafer for a while until I acclimate back to the real world. I am concerned this is not protecting my ears. I transcribed on and off for forty years. Usually it was a small headset and not headphones. The headphones enclose the ears more, making it easier to drowned out background noise. Do I need to quit this job? I only get work periodically. I suspect it has something to do with the headphones, but not sure. It reminds me of when you go for a bike ride and you feel like a loon in your head but after you get off and acclimate, you are better. Bottom line...is it a temporary feeling or the body’s way of saying WARNING, WILL ROBINSON?
