thank you! I agree it probably is my job! But can't quite just yet, so got to suffer through it. I do wear ear protection and I usually have to have an ear plug in around the house also. I consider myself an ear plug expert. Howard light max, Silencio, and HEAROS soft ear plugs offers the max protection 32dBs and most of the time will not make you ear sore after hours of use.
For me I have found the ear plug start getting dirty (with skin oil) after about 4 or 5 hours which changes there softness, so I change them out ( should I say one). But, some days it just don't matter my head, teeth, and behind my right eye acks and just gets worse as the day goes on. This usually triggers a migraine attack for me. Sometimes I can ward it off and sometimes no matter what I do it just gets worse.
I have a hard time wearing ear defender (muffs) the pressing or squeezing my head makes the pain worse. I have also found I can't were a plug in my AN side ear, makes pain and starts the trigenmal nerve firing which causes pain across my forehead, behind my right eye, and down my jaw and into my teeth.
