Have you done anything different lately? I also had pain in my right ear for 6-9 months and it gradually faded away. I hope for you that it gets better!

Hi @ErikaS, it will get better, the first 3-5 months I slept maybe 1-2 hours a night waking up every 20 minutes, covered in sweat, it was crazy, my anxiety was so high. Don't know how I survived haha. Just try to rest and sleep if possible. Now I just take 1mg Melatonin and I will try to come...

Ohh okay that's cool, all the way in the north haha. I'm sorry this happened to you. I also had a lot of stress bc of my university exams but who knows? How are you doing now ? I saw that you joined TinnitusTalk in 2014 ?!

How did your tinnitus start? And where do you come from in Germany. I was born in wiesbaden and live now in the French speaking part of Switzerland :)

I don't know if it was medication that caused my tinnitus but I was taking a cocktail of ritalin, sleeping pills (Zopiclone) and a lot of pain killers. I also did my booster 1-2 weeks before my tinnitus started, I don't know. Maybe an accumulation of everything :/

These last few days have been difficult, my tinnitus is more reactive again, it is so exhausting. I have anxiety phases about my professional future. I decided to take a year off to learn how to manage my problems and "habituate ?" so no classes at the moment. Wow, that's such a cool job, how is...

Hi @Joe Cuber, I still don't know exactly what "habituation" is, but yes, I'm much better better. The last few days have been brutal but I feel like my spike is going down again. Ohh that's awesome, what field do you work in? I wish you all the best !!!

It will get better. Every time I'm sick my Tinnitus is 2-3 times louder but it goes back to my baseline after a few days

Hi @Joe Cuber, thanks so much for asking, sorry for the late reply. I am avoiding as best I can any content related to tinnitus. I'm "fine" I guess... My tinnitus is still a pain in the ass but I guess I live better with it? In the evening it's still very difficult but I sleep better. So overall...

I'm not going to lie to you, that semester was really extremely difficult but as time went on, it got better and I passed my exams... You, unlike me, have had tinnitus for a while now so it's not all new to you. I still have at least 4 years of study left. I wish you all the best and hope you do...

I'm sure it will be fine. Only time can help us. My tinnitus started at the beginning of my 4th semester and for the first two months I was not functioning at all. I was falling way behind, absolutely sleep-deprived, and watching my dream of becoming a doctor burn away. 1/2

Personally I finished my second year of med school and I am so anxious about my future... My tinnitus makes my life so difficult and especially my studies. My ability to concentrate has evaporated...

Hi @SamRosemary, my internship at the hospital started on 1st of August. I got sick the first week and my tinnitus spiked and I was doing pretty bad. I'm better now... Working in the hospital is my favorite part of the day, I am distracted and I think less about my tinnitus. What does level 3...
