    I lost 55dB in my left ear with tinnitus obtained at 8KHz from gunshots. Anyone think my hearing will return with time?

    No one knows sadly. But if it is at 8KHZ hearing aids should help.

    You're about a full month out since the incident, so any improvement will likely be slow and minimal at this point. But at least some of that loss could come back. Protect your ears. And you can adapt to it over time where it won't be as depressing.

    Moderate hearing loss in my left ear. I don't want to use a hearing aid I truly want to heal. I can't accept this

    @MatthewR, do a search of "gunshots" on upper right search bar. Maybe others here have some good advice for you.

    Will I eventually live a normal life?

    Probably not totally normal. You will have to protect your ears in noisy environments.

    @mattewR - if it helped my tinnitus I would walk around with two yellow bananas on my ears.

    You are also very early on, so much hope for you.

    I would get some custom-painted hearing aids and make them a part of my style. A lot of young adults wear hearing aids and I think they rock.

    1) I miss the way I would act around my gf when I was normal. Now I feel less of a man. I am not as masculine I don't gym as hard.

    I don't think your far enough in to know for sure. Hearing loss can be permanent, T can be as well. However there is a chance it could be temporary or atleast become more tolerable. Wish I could give a guarantee, but there isn't one. It does get easier for most.

    Do you know how bad your hearing loss is?

    ❤️- so sorry. I know how it feels. It's hard. If you are early on have hope. Everyone's case is not the same

    Anyone else miss hearing loud noises without any issues? H you are ruining me.
    SharonBell
    I miss being able to be around loud noises. I love working in our yard mowing and weed eating and using the palm sander and painting. I can't wear earplugs because it makes my head buzz-static so I can't do any of that anymore because I can't protect my hearing from getting worse.That is what I love doing and it really sucks. I miss my old life also.

    I messed up big time. I want my hearing restored. I don't want this to be permanent I can't accept this everyday I'm depressed

    Try asking your family members/friends if they have any experience with bad tinnitus. I'd be surprised if you didn't know somebody who had/has it. Just talking with someone like that can help. Turns out I know about 10 people who have had it for years. They got thru it.

    Yes I'm religious, and you're right.. thank you

    You're welcome. I hope you have a good Christmas.
