Yes, it can cause permanent hearing damage. I was slapped in the ear by my mentally unstable ex while I was turned away and not paying attention. The slap caused a large rupture in my eardrum. That was well over a year ago and I still have tinnitus and hearing loss at high frequencies.

Randomaccess, I think 90% of your problems are caused by stress and anxiety. Start a meditation program for an hour a day. If you can get in the right frame of mind and get your stress levels down, I think your other problems will start to fade naturally.

JurgenG, The T might go away completely, it might not. If it does persist, your brain will eventually learn to tune it out and you will not be bothered by it very much. You are almost certainly tricking yourself into thinking the T is worse than it is right now, because you are reading these...

A few times a day, a different, considerably louder tone emerges in my ear. It is probably 3 times louder than my constant tones. It used to scare the hell out of me everytime it happened. You will get used to the changing tones eventually. The more you stress about them, the worse and...

I gotta thank you Floridians for coming through for the Trumpster.

Congrats on escaping the clutches of your narcissist. They are so captivating at first, then once you're addicted they will stop at nothing to destroy your soul completely. They are the most terrifying evil on this planet. I'm sure the next time you notice the signs of an NPD, you will run...

Wow this is a really great idea, and I think the results would be pretty phenomenal. I wholeheartedly believe that the things you are proposing are precisely the cures for tinnitus. I spent months and months suffering and not getting any better while I was reading tinnitus forums and...

The more you read and freak yourself out the louder it's going to appear. Stress makes this stuff 10 times worse. Accept that you are helpless in this matter and don't spend any time monitoring your tinnitus or trying to fight it. It's probably going to just go away in a couple weeks, but not...

Ah Nathalie, I still maintain that you will be fine. As soon as you let go of the melodrama, your ear problems will start to fade, and your life will return to normal.

I have had tinnitus for over a year. I am still annoyed from time to time by the ringing, and it is every bit as loud and piercing as it was the first day I got it. The reason I talk about mindset being important, is because that's the only thing that saved me from letting tinnitus unravel my...

I have no doubt that lots of people are seriously bothered by tinnitus. I was definitely bothered by it for the first 6 months or so. All I was trying to say is that I highly doubt that people are killing themselves solely because of tinnitus. It seems to me much more likely that they are...

Just chill out man. Laugh about it. Yeah it sucks, your ear is ringing like mad. At least you don't have cancer. It could be way worse, right? Do what you gotta do to keep it together. Don't let this bullshit take over your life. No matter how horribly annoying it is, you have to keep...

People new to tinnitus hate hearing this, but realistically the doctors and hypnotists are probably not going to help at all. Her tinnitus is most likely not going to get better until she improves her mindset towards it.
