Here's my story from about where you are at currently: 2 Months Later, My Tinnitus Is Nearly Gone I am like well over a year with this thing and I am pretty much fine. I do everything I did before and use hearing protection when needed. Hang in there and keep an optimistic attitude. I think...

Well, it is a chronic condition, right. I do not imagine it getting any better than a 1-2 on the annoyance scale. The "2" is only when it spikes for a couple of seconds randomly, which will occur a couple of times a week. Anyways, odds are my left ear will be ringing till death do us part.

I'm not sure about the brand. I got custom molded earplugs with musician's filters which are like ~25 dB from my audiologist after getting a hearing test completed a year ago at Jefferson hospital in Philly. It cost me $120 dollars. They are super-low profile and comfortable. I've worn them for...

Yea I am totally good, living a regular life these days. I saw a Phish concert in Saratoga Springs this past Saturday. I was inside the pavilion. I wore my custom molded earplugs for 90% of the show and I am doing well. My tinnitus is akin to normal background noise that does not bother me 98%...

Perhaps, but I've had conductive hearing loss since I was a teenager (I am 30 now). The deafness in my left ear, which is the one that rings, is not related to inner ear issues. Bone conductive testing proves that I can hear those high frequencies you are talking about. That said, all of this is...

My annual hearing tests prove I have not experienced any hearing loss in the past three years, yet I developed tinnitus two years ago. There is a randomness to this condition. YESSSSS! I saw them at the Mann and followed 'em up to NYC! I'll be at SPAC in two weeks!

This is probably the best answer to any questions people have on this forum. Anyways, I cycle with headband covering my ears to cut out the wind noise. I do not use earplugs or listen to music via headphones. To each their own.

I have been to dozens of concerts with tinnitus. Wear earplugs and you'll be fine, but then again this condition is very subjective to the individual. I thought I'd never be able to go to a concert again when I got my tinnitus last May 2022, but I was wrong. I just hit 7-ish concerts at Madison...

I take Cymbalta. No, I do not. I am habituated. I only notice my tinnitus when it's totally quiet or when I am on this website/talking about it. When it started a year ago, it was a 6-7/10 volume. Now it's a 1-2. I went to a rock concert this past Friday. Going to another this Thursday.

Completely fine in regard to the never-ending ringing in my left ear, but like someone else stated, everyone's experience with tinnitus is subjective. I still take a low dose of medication and I carry custom molded earplugs along with solid foam ones in a small bag with me everywhere I go. I...

Oh man, I thought this way too when I got hit with chronic tinnitus after a show last May, but never say never. Please see my story. It took me about half a year to habituate. My onset was May 27th, 2022. Since October 2022, I've been to a dozen shows without incident and plan on hitting over...

I relate to this story. I'm 11 months past onset living a normal life with tinnitus. My left ear still rings all day, all night, but it does not bother me 97% of the time. Cheers @Javimaltes on your success and thanks for sharing!
