I tried out the alarm setting on the door chime yesterday. My ears now know what 95 decibels sounds like. The ringing in my ears is starting to go away and my hearing return to normal and I found my contacts that popped out of my eyes when the alarm sounded. The dog seems to now be deaf, though.
I saw this on another blog and think it is so true. Hope everyone has a great day!
