My right ear began ringing when I was 16 (I’m 26 now). After a rough rollercoaster I finally was at a place where my tinnitus was a second thought and I barely thought about it. I wear ear plugs when I need to, avoid loud noises, take supplements, and whenever I am prescribed any new medication...

Exactly! Couldn’t have said it better myself.

Well, at the end of allergy season I began having ETD problems in my left ear as I have had from time to time. Usually comes with a bit of ringing in that ear, but as the tube opens up as it “heals”, the ringing goes away with it. For some reason, this time it decided to stay. What’s worse: it...

I’d probably say I was habituated at a 3/10, now I’m at a 5/10. Also this happened yesterday.

So here’s the scenario: I was in the doorway leading from the house into the garage. A guy in the garage lit off a fire cracker in the garage. Factors: Garage door was open There was a guy between me and the firework when it went off Firework went off about 13 feet away Immediately after, I...

I am one of those people who can movr my jaw and change the sound of my tinnitus, so I am not sure if when I get braces that if they correct anything in my jaw that itll cause a change.

So I need a few things done inside my mouth, and I was just wondeing if anyone had any input on it. Ive read mixed things on here between different people, so I've decided to make my own post. I need to get a couple of fillings done, three wisdom teeth taken out (already had one bottom taken...

Hi all! Had a recent discovery at work. I had my ear plugs in while vacuuming and I bent down to plug in my vacuum, but as I stood back up I noticed my T get louder for a moment. So I did a test; I stood straight, lowered my head perpendicular to my body and put it back up right. As I lifted me...

Hi all! Been a while since I have been on here. My T hasn't changed much I think, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Anyway, I have decided I am going to really begin my life. I plan on getting my own apartment, going back to school, and learning a new language. For the past 3 or 4 years I...

I know it has been sometime but I still wanted to post. I went to a heavy metal concert this past Sunday (Pain in the Grass) with bands like slipknot, lamb of god, three days grace, just all around loud bass-y bands. I sat up in the lawn (ampitheater setting) and wore ear plugs. I will admit...

Thanks everyone for the continued support.

I take overly cautious matters to make sure I protect my ears, even from the most mundane things. for work I drive a van, and I wear ear plugs for the trip because it's an older van and the flooring in the back is a little loose. So when I hit bumps or potholes, it creates a loud noise. And...

Hammers, drills, nail guns, table saws, those kinds of things.

Hello all, I have recently gotten job offer from my cousin who is a general contractor doing mostly renovations and the occasional house build. I would be helping him do these things and as you can imagine some of the work is quite loud. It would be just me and him mainly so there wouldn't be...

Hi Doctor, I went camping over the weekend and a buddy of mine had brought his 9mm pistol with him. In the spur of the moment I decided I would go fire some rounds with them. I shot 30 rounds in all, two 15 round clips. The first time I had ear plugs and ear muffs, the second time just ear...
