    Started Having Silent Days

    Hi Virginia girl, First of all, sorry that you have to go through this. Now to your question, nope, after the initial period my tinnitus remained low for many months, never had a pattern like you described in your post. In the late months of 3rd year, it became even barely noticeable before...

    Started Having Silent Days

    Thank you! I am glad that it ended for me this way. I can see you got tinnitus just last year. Give it more time, in the mean time, get on with your normal life and try to do the things that you enjoyed doing in the past. It will most probably get better or goes away as time goes by. Hope yours...

    Started Having Silent Days

    Update: My tinitus is gone for more than a month now. I mean I am in complete silence now for about 40 days or so. I strongly suspect the reason behind this is that I had been having low red blood cell count for the past 3~4 years and after undergoing my anual medical check up at our company...

    Started Having Silent Days

    Hi Hazel, Thanks for your kind words. Tinnitus is a very serious condition that can make people go crazy. It was very difficult for me also at the beginning but gradually, over three years time, my tinnitus has become a whisper and I barely notice it anymore. Since I have improved this much and...

    Started Having Silent Days

    To be very honest with you, I have been riding bikes for more than 30 years (I would say all my life) and never knew it causes ear damage. Apparently it does to some extent due to heavy wind blast. With that said, I always wear very high quality helmets with wind blockers but never wear earmuffs...

    Hi acute, it's only in my left ear. I still hear this on and off whisper on some days when I am in bed, barely noticeable. Anyway, tinnitus isn't a part of my life anymore. Hope you guys recover soon!

    Tinnitus Faded and Went Away After Four Weeks!

    I am getting close to my 3rd year after the onset. These days I have days of silence like 10~12 days in a row and suddenly it comes back again staying for a couple of days or so but very very mild and can hear only in dead quiet envirements.

    Long Day in New York City — Construction Noises, Sirens, Loud Sounds — Can I Get a Tinnitus Spike?

    If your tinnitus reacts to such sounds and as a result you usually get spikes, then you have to worry, otherwise you will be fine. I never wear/wore earplugs or muffs after the onset. IMO, it is meaningless to wear those if you have non-reactive tinnitus.

    Are Foam Earplugs the Best Plugs for Concerts?

    Sorry I can't answer your question as I don't know anything about earplugs or earmuffs because I never wore any of those after the onset. In my case, I enjoyed every activity that I used to do before getting tinnitus including seeing movies at the theater, riding my bike to work daily for about...

    Poll: Do You Listen to Music with Headphones? Has It Made Your Tinnitus Worse?

    I hate headphones. I always listen to music on my Hi-End home theater system at comfortable levels. But when I watch movies, I always crank up the volume to blasting levels. Believe me, I have been doing this for more than 25~30 years , and even after I got tinnitus I did not stop this habit...

    For Those Who Are Fully Cured from Tinnitus, How Did It Happen?

    Mine is almost (99.5%) cured after 31 months, and it is a very slow progress. I sometimes hear very very low hissing when I go to bed. Most of the time I don't know I have tinnitus.

    @HeavyMantra It is what you have. If your tinnitus reacts to the sound and certain kind of food and drinks, that is reactive tinnitus. Better stop listening to music if it spikes your tinnitus as it wll be bad in the long run. Your ears need rest. For some people, nothing spikes their tinnitus...

    How to Not Fear Your Tinnitus Might Get Worse in the Future?

    If your tinnitus is non-reactive to sound and you don't get spikes after those sound exposures, live your life normally. I never wore any protection since tinnitus started back in 2016. I go to the movies as usual ( just saw "Toy Story 4" today), ride my bike almost everyday except rainy days...

    It seems like you have reactive tinnitus. In this case, you have to avoid loud envirements as much as possible. Luckily my tinnitus is non- reactive. It is normal to feel hopeless at the beginning, Try to ride out first 6 months, after that it will most probably start to fade. Or who knows, you...

    @Mymlan No, my tinnitus is not noise induced. It was a heavy wax buildup. After 8 months I resumed all of my favorite activities that I used to do before getting tinnitus. Because the tiniitus itself became less and less intrusive, and the volume of the sound in my tinnitus ear started to...

    I got my old life back 8 months after the onset. Major improvement came at 23 month mark. Nowadays, after 31 months, it has become a wisper that I don't even know is there. Sometimes I hear it in bed but most of the time it is complete silence. Hang in there, tinnitus usually lose it's grip over...

    How to Not Fear Your Tinnitus Might Get Worse in the Future?

    Tinnitus that is reactive to sound requires protection due to the fear of spikes and further damage, otherwise it is meaningless to carry or wear earplugs all the time.

    Anxiety and Tinnitus Taking Over My Life

    I visited this forum as a guest 2~3 times back in 2016 when I first got tinnitus, read a lot and realized that it had better to stay away from tinnitus forums and discussion boards which I believe was the best decision I ever made in my life. Since then, I never read or search anything about...

    I have been training boxing as a sport as long as I know. When I got tinnitus back in 2016, I stopped training for about eight months and then resumed after realizing that my tinnitus is not reacting to any sound, food or drinks. It is not somatic either. I sometimes receive heavy blows to my...

    Worried and Confused

    It is perfectly fine to read and understand about tinnitus and some coping techniques at the very early stage after the onset. It will greatly help to new sufferers. Once you have learnt enough, the best this is to stop reading online and try get on with the life as usual. By keep coming here...

    2 Years with Tinnitus — I Returned to My Normal Life

    Great advice! This is exactly what I did. It is okay to read online when help is needed, and once you know everything, leave it and get on with your life. Spend more time reading about tinnitus = make the tinnitus to become a part of the daily life.

    Started Having Silent Days

    To be honest, I didn't take anything. I think what really helped me is, to stop reading about tinitus online and started to do my usual activities that I used to do as soon as posible without dwelling on tinnitus. My ENT doctor did remind me to stay away from internet as much as possible. The...

    After a series of fleeting tinnitus for the past few days, having full silent again since yesterday. My brain is really trying to reset the things back to previous state I guess. Don't feel like having tinnitus anymore.

    How Can I Avoid Wanting to End My Life If Hearing Renegeration Programs Won't Be Successful?

    While I agree with your comment, all I wanted to do is, to give the OP some kind of positive hopes to carry on. That is what he wants at this stage. Doesn't matter what happens in the end, having positive hopes is much much better than living with dark thoughts.

    How Can I Avoid Wanting to End My Life If Hearing Renegeration Programs Won't Be Successful?

    Your tinnitus is so new. Give it 2 years time, and you will definitely see improvement. By the time you get to that stage, you won't think of ending your life. My tinnitus improved massively after about 23 months, and now, after 30 months, it is almost gone. Mine is not noise induced though...

    How Disabling Is Tinnitus?

    I think it depends on the type of tinnitus you have. I never wore protection because my tinnitus is totally non-reactive. I go to movies (just yesterday saw "Godzilla"), watching movies in my home theater at pretty loud volume levels, do boxing, ride my motor cycle to work everyday, and all...

    6 is still pretty loud compared to mine. At 2 year mark I could barely notice my tinnitus. After 30 months, I am getting more and more complete silent days now with on and off very very mild hissing. Mine is not noise induced and not somatic either. Hope you will get better and better.

    Hi Mi1, I can not find a reply button to answer you in my Inbox. Anyway, I never had fullness, tightness but the hearing decreased in my right ear due to the wax buildup. Once the wax was removed, hearing became normal. I usually don't have sinus problems.

    After about 3 months it was like crickets and hissing on and off but the sound was always there. The fading started after about 8 months. I never had spikes whatsoever. This is I guess due my tinnitus being non- reactive. During these 30 months after the onset, I never changed my diets or lifestyle.
