Tinnitus Talk Support Forum

Howdy there mate, I'm okay. Less and less anxious and distracted by this each day. Ringing is still fucked, higher tone in my right ear and hissing. I realised it's bad on both sides. I'm kind of just bored of being depressed about it and it getting in the way of living life now. Stubborn resilient positivity is the key for now.

Of course, I say this as I literally broke down to a classmate about this today. But I'm okay now. Moments of vulnerability are not set backs now, just life and part of the journey.

How are you? What was the cause of your tinnitus if you don't mind me asking?

I'm pretty sure from an ear infection a few weeks ago. Almost a month :/

That sounds horrible mate. A month in for me about 6 days ago too. Do you have a history of ototoxic drugs or TMJ at all? Crazy how misfortune gets thrown at us with this crap. All over an ear infection too, inevitable that people get them, they don't warn you that you'd be left with this at all though.

I have hope this will diminish substantially for you though mate. Sending you hope!

no nothing, I havent used any medicine or had health issues in over 10 years lol. My last ear infection was like 15 years ago when I was a little kid.
