Recently I started to experience short tinnitus in my left ear. For no specific reason my left ear would start to feel full and loose some hearing (like someone put wool over the ear), and this is accompanied by a tone. The tone usually fades in about 30s or so and ear goes back to normal. I...

Hola. Creo que T tardó aproximadamente un año en volver a la normalidad. Disparé muchas rondas. Tenía una protección suave dentro de la oreja, pero no estaba insertada correctamente. No creo que tenga pérdida de audición. Volví al campo de tiro después de aproximadamente 18 meses. PD. La próxima...

No spikes. Overall, tinnitus has been reduced to some static noise when it's really quite. When I put on my double ear protection during shooting I heard that noise all the time. I am used to it so I can ignore it. Occasionally, I would get random pulsatile tinnitus in either ear. It's...

Some time ago I wrote my success story titled "My Tinnitus - Final Chapter" Yesterday, for the first time I went back to the scene of the crime - the shooting range where it all began. Now, I am not a big fan of shooting, which makes my case of getting tinnitus on the gun range even more...

I am not a big cinema guy so I cannot even comment if I had worn earplugs last time I went. In general I avoid all places with loud sound. I was on tour once in a party bus and it started so loud I asked them to stop and let me off. It was a little embarrassing but who cares, it's my hearing. I...

I've said that much in my post. Right now modern medicine does not have a cure but there are studies, trials, and new drugs being tested.

I was there summer of 2017, about a week after I got my tinnitus. I don't recall when the forest fire was but when I was there it looked really good. It was raining all week but otherwise had a great time.

It actually reduced in volume to almost non-existant. It happened very slowly over many month until one day I realized that I don't hear it. Like I said in my post - we don't regrow hearing cells but your brain might make an adjustment.

It's been a long time coming. I mean to write a story here for some time but like most tinnitus sufferers who get better I didn't come back to the site for a while. And this brings us to lesson #1 PEOPLE WITH TINNITUS WHO GOT BETTER OR MOVED ON ARE NOT HERE! This is important to understand...

I knew nothing about sound guidelines. I always thought that the only way to damage your hearing is to damage your eardrums. Little did I know!

It's my 36th week with tinnitus after loud noise exposure. I am continuing to live very normal life that I had prior to T. I basically do not hear it at all except some static when I go to sleep. On occasion when I wake up at night I would hear mild ringing, and I would be like "Hah... Haven't...

It's my 31st week with tinnitus after loud noise exposure. Over the past few weeks my T was so mild that I actually forgot I have it. The really mild tone I used to have when I went to sleep is gone. Static does continue, and the range will really depend on sleep quality, stress, and salt/sugar...

I think the biggest thing I gave up is peace of mind. I am now constantly vigilant on what can cause spike in my T, but I make sure to take precautions instead of avoiding activities altogether. Only once did I proactively stopped and quit a public activity because the noise level was insane...

Usually just changing activity helps with T. If I am watching movies and I get a spike then I go for a walk. Anything to occupy your mind usually helps. Which always makes me think how much of T is psychological vs physical.

I fly with these Bose headphones and keep them on for hours during flights. Just keep the volume low and you should be fine. Also, if your T is caused by neck issues then you do not have hearing loss. In your case headphones should not be more of a concern then for anyone else. Fix your neck!
