Desperate Cry for Help: Severe Tinnitus After Going to Bar with Loud Music
Hi @wheatley. I empathize deeply with what you're experiencing right now, and I believe everyone on this forum can relate.

I wouldn't say you have to cop all of that blame. 1 person could go out and experience decades of noise exposure and end up with T, whilst the other experiences the same and doesn't end up with ringing in their ears. Why is that? I think there needs to be more studies and faith into the genetics...- weehiru
