I had COVID-19 in March. It is really dangerous, would not recommend. A lot harder than the flu. I am extremely strong but it rocked me.

I've had noise induced tinnitus for 4 years now and I can tell you that I have never used a decibel meter before and I'm pretty much fine, I get random spikes but I don't think it is because of sound (just stress related maybe?).

It is pretty normal to have it fluctuate so much the first year, your body is trying to find its "balance" before it will settle and either go away completely or become permanent. I've had tinnitus for several years now and over the years it had pretty much gotten softer each year and tinnitus...

Thanks! Mine went away after 2 days... for some reason it took a really long time. All day yesterday it was going off like alarm bells. In 1 ear.

Hey everyone! It's been a very long time since I last posted, hope y'all are ok! Yesterday I went on a walk on the Golden Gate Bridge, it was extremely windy... I had my earplugs in though. About 4 hours later I was doing dishes when the usual fleeting tinnitus happened in my left ear... I get...

wear plugs then hearing protection over it. NYC is so loud I really hated it there when I went. Time to consider moving i guesS?

Mine is non existent in the morning and increases throughout the day as well, I've had tinnitus for a few years now.

I assume it's the same as dropping a metal toaster and the sound that results is right next to your ear. I had this happen last week and it made me go instant deaf too as well as a more obvious pitch. It goes away after 5 minutes (in some cases 24 hours) but it does go away.

My tinnitus has remain the same since 2 years ago however my awareness has increased so i have to do the whole habituation thing over again. It's really a bummer when you are always paranoid that your tinnitus is louder when it is actually the same as it always has been and your sensitivity to...

The same with me, I throw myself into sewing and reading more these days and less focus is placed on materialism and vain pursuits. The avoidance of loud places has shaped and change my view of the world as well, for the better and I am grateful for it.

Not sure why he would need to do that when there are tons of the latter on the forums (every day reminding us that these minorities exist) and not enough of the former.

I've read about the opposite of what people here have stated, either way it really won't make a difference because nobody's experience is ever replicated. T may get better, or it may get worse, no one can predict the outcome. A lot of it may/may not boil down to: diet, exercise, genetics...

Not even a good troll attempt.

Weddings are LOUD...be careful, i would avoid it if i can. I learned from my mistake...

My T is quietest in the morning (especially after waking up where it is virtually non-existent), it gets louder as the day goes on. It is quietest after waking up from a nap too. My T is loudest at night but quietest 3-4 hours after waking.
