    Tinnitus from Rock Concert Went Away for Years — Now It's Back and Bothering Me Again

    @Strawberryblonde, I think it went down a lot when I stopped caring. It reduced by 50% I guess. Sometimes when I have a stressful week, it‘s louder, but it always goes down again. And no, I don‘t mask it, I live my life like I did pre-tinnitus. The only difference is that I wear earplugs when...

    Tinnitus from Rock Concert Went Away for Years — Now It's Back and Bothering Me Again

    Just wanted to post an update: I got over having tinnitus. I couldn’t care less. It‘s still there but I‘m going to sleep peacefully without even recognizing it‘s there :)

    Of course with earplugs and I was like you @Strawberryblonde for a year but my anxiety died down and so did my T. I think I was in the fight and flight mode for a very long time without realizing it.

    Thank you :) I know 2 DJ's with Tinnitus and got to know many people during clubbing that have it too. Thank you. But comments like this were the reason I left this community without leaving a success story. I mean even my fave singer (Chris Martin) has it...

    Hi! I just came back here and saw you started following me this month. If you're hopeless I just want to tell you that my life is 100% back to normal. It's still here but I think it lessened because my anxiety disappeared. You can read my post - I was at the lowest point in my life and now I'm...

    A REAL Tinnitus Success Story as Told to Me by a Relative (Not Clickbait!)

    No unfortunately it hasn't improved, however I got a neck massage 2 weeks ago and it was away for 1 night. Next morning it was loud again but I still hope for a full recovery :)

    A REAL Tinnitus Success Story as Told to Me by a Relative (Not Clickbait!)

    It happened to me too. 4 months after my acoustic trauma it began to vanish and after 6 months it was gone:) I‘m here 6 years afterwards because of ETD and tinnitus but my first onset was gone :)

    Got Tinnitus Nearly 2 Weeks Ago After Going to the Club

    Hi @Grace19, I just found your story. I developed tinnitus after a rock concert in 2015. I was very anxious about it and always checked if it's still there or not. After 4 months I started to not give a fuck about it and then it gradually decreased. After 6 months (I don't remember exactly)...

    I was clubbing yesterday and everything went out fine. I feel so much better now - today was the first day I did not notice it 24/7.

    Tinnitus from Rock Concert Went Away for Years — Now It's Back and Bothering Me Again

    @mohn, when I first got tinnitus I did not use any hearing protection :( and then I went clubbing with custom moulded ones and everything was fine.

    Tinnitus from Rock Concert Went Away for Years — Now It's Back and Bothering Me Again

    @Rudedog205, I've started taking Magnesium & B12 :) let's see how it works out. And yeah I can't stop partying - I also sing in a band but I took a break from it due to my tinnitus. I think I will start again in October. The wedding is the next big event I'll attend. My anxiety needs to come...

    Tinnitus from Rock Concert Went Away for Years — Now It's Back and Bothering Me Again

    @PortugalTheMan, I have custom moulded earplugs and I‘ve used them for years. I had the -15 dB filters and last month I bought new ones with -25 dB filters. In 2 weeks my sister has her wedding so fingers crossed my tinnitus will not get worse afterwards :-( I‘ve always had spikes but it...

    Tinnitus from Rock Concert Went Away for Years — Now It's Back and Bothering Me Again

    @PortugalTheMan, when will you start going out again? I was at a party last week but left after 2 hours. It's so hard for me since I went out every weekend before my new tinnitus.
