It was a scream that finished me off and basically ruined my life over three years ago now with zero improvement. I'm not saying this will happen to you, but screams can be deafening. The best thing you can do is keep away from loud noises and protect your ears as much as possible. I hope it...

I think a lot of it is that ‘what if’ mentality. What if a child screams in the restaurant. What if someone accidentally drops a load of crockery. What if an alarm goes off. Even the sound of 2 glasses colliding is uncomfortable... not fun.

Again, sounds so familiar. People's voices are the worst! How long have you had this for?

Honestly, this is me as well! I’ve started giving people wooden disposable cutlery on the odd occasions I have people round. Thankfully they are understanding. Can’t go to any of my kids' school events, parties etc. I’m 3 years in with zero improvement. How long have you been this way...

Makes me realise how bad my ears actually are as I would never even consider going to a restaurant or anything like it!

I had a very similar situation and over 2.5 years later it is still as bad as it was, life changing. So for @DeepakB to say spikes are not permanent, he lives in cuckoo land. Your best bet is to try and avoid any more traumas and give your ears the best chance to heal. If there’s a chance your...

Hello lovely people. I am wondering if anyone can offer any kind of advice and relate to what I am currently experiencing. To keep it brief, I have had noise-induced tinnitus for years but it was made life changing after an acoustic trauma around 2 years ago, mainly in my left ear. Around 5...

Would there be any reason not to buy this fresh and make your own tea from the leaves?

I have noticed you have a constant tendency to come on to any kind of 'positive' post just to bring your negativity to it. You cannot comprehend the fact that people with very bad tinnitus can actually get to a point where they can enjoy their life again. You also cannot comprehend that anyone...

I’ve had a pretty good day on the whole with my hyperacusis but having just had a stressful hour with my family it’s just flared up. Came onto Tinnitus Talk and this is the first post I see. I’m noticing it more and more that it’s triggered by these kinds of episodes. Not all the time but I’d...

I’m in a similar position to yourself. Sounds like you’re doing the right things but it does indeed suck to not be able to do things we once loved. There are however so many other hobbies and interests out there to be discovered that can easily fill the void. Stay strong and stay positive...

I have had COVID-19 twice and have not had a vaccine. I assumed that by having it, I would have built up a natural vaccine so to speak. Is this not the case from what you have read? I doubt it would sway me anyway, I do not trust those making these vaccines at all!

I am fairly confident my tinnitus was caused by general loud noise from all walks of life. I also understand the worry of having young ones as I also do. Protect, but don't over protect. Even this evening my ears feel more sensitive and I cannot really pinpoint a reason for this. I imagine the...

I remember my parents constantly telling me they could hear my music so clearly when I was wearing headphones. I still didn’t listen :( boy do I wish I had.

I had a similar experience to you over 18 months ago and can say I’ve had no real improvement. That’s not to say you won’t. As the person above said, we’re all different. Being careful as to not further damage the ears is the main thing I would say.
