A question I come across quite frequently is whether it is advisable to go on holiday with a tinnitus. Many people fear apparently that it could get aggravated. According to my own experience and those of others I have spoken to, this is an unfounded fear. On the contrary, in many cases the holiday will have a positive effect due to the generally relaxing nature of a holiday and the fact that, with the new environment, one does not concentrate so much on the condition. Still, one should obviously take some precautions and also avoid overly loud environments on holiday (or use earplugs in corresponding situations). Flying by airplane is usually not a problem either, but also here one might want to use earplugs in order to reduce the engine noise (there are also special earplugs called 'Earplanes' that help to reduce the pressure equalization problems (fullness in the ears) which some people have during flights).
