    I think you can, absolutely. It'll just take a lot of time and healing to adjust. If you have the support of your family and girlfriend to help you through it, you'll be alright.

    It has calmed down for sure over the last two years, I used to hear a lot more beeps and other weird sounds from daily noises but that's all mostly gotten better.

    Heya Delta. It's unchanged and I can hear it in music and whatnot but it's manageable these days. It's not at the top of my worries anymore at least.

    That's great to hear man, it took me a while to really comfortably play video games again too with distortions, but eventually we recover to a point where we can handle it again.

    Thanks Yellow :) It's been two years and I've improved a bit but it's still very reactive so I don't think it'll ever really go away.

    You take it one day at a time and you keep yourself busy and distracted. If you stay hard focused on the tinnitus then it's going to stand out more.

    I miss them too for gaming and music, badly. But I already lost hearing in one frequency, can't risk worsening it.

    I'm alright, thanks for asking Penny :) I have distortions for two years now, I doubt it'll go away but it's become more normal/manageable over time.

    It's alright Penny, if it's gone away many times before, it will again, you gotta believe in that.

    In my case, I was unhappy and had issues long before hearing became a problem. Tinnitus/distortions just added to the long list of life problems lol.

    @2049v No I never had an MRI, I always hear people saying they're incredibly loud and I didn't want to risk a worsening. But that's just me being overly cautious.

    @beefling I'm sorry to hear, man.

    Sudden Hearing Loss Gave Me Tinnitus and Took My Life Away

    Hey @BlueMoon86, I'm really sorry to hear you're struggling. I can completely relate to how it all started. I also have autism, and my whole world has always been games, music, and peace of mind where I can retreat when life's too much. That all changed when I developed sudden hearing loss...

    Tinnitus and Dysacusis from Concussion/TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury)

    Hey @Kiro, I'm sorry to hear about what happened with the snowboarding and the TBI and ringing that resulted from it. I've been dealing with distortions (beeps and whistles from sounds) for about two years. The symptoms you're describing sound very much like what I dealt with at the onset. Even...

    @HearingHell I started experiencing it early on when I first got distortions. I was sensitive to a lot of sounds and some of those mostly faded over time (wind, PC, birds) but I still can't stand the sound of cars squealing, it's pretty loud and piercing.

    @Kiyomi It's not your fault. There aren't enough people out there warning others about the dangers of sounds and headsets until it's too late and we end up on the forums. I did blame myself too for being stupid but it comes down to a lack of creating awareness. None of us could have known about...

    At least better than I was two years ago. I have distortions in a high frequency which are still around but they've gotten a little better over time. At the time I also had increased sound sensitivity but that's luckily faded. I'm still trying to live carefully around noises and not expose...

    I know that feeling Kiyomi. The early months are absolute hell, I was in a very dark place too when I started experiencing distortions and sound sensitivity all at once out of nowhere. You can come back from this, but it takes a lot of time. For me it took at least a year and a few months to...

    Welcome to the club. There's actually a very strong link between autism and tinnitus, we're far more sensitive to sounds and it seems easier to develop hearing issues through that.

    Dysacusis (Hearing Distortion) etc.

    Isn't that the truth. I can only assume most of us have tried to explain our situation to our ENT; mine was absolutely clueless haha. I tried to ask him if he knew about dysacusis or distortions, what causes these beeps I heard on top of music or TV, and he just kind of shrugged it all off since...

    Dysacusis (Hearing Distortion) etc.

    I guess it's better to wait it out patiently and rely on neuroplasticity than experiment with medication that might only make things far worse, but that goes for regular tinnitus and hyperacusis, too. I've seen too many stories on this site for the two years I've been around how people worsened...

    It's still around for me after two years too, but it's at least calmed down a bit to the point I don't always notice it everywhere. Still wish it would just go away already though, for all of us who have to suffer distortions.

    Hey Kiyomi. I also have reactive distortions, developed them right at onset. I had a very difficult time with it and listening to sounds was hard, but it does heal, just very slowly. I'm 2 years in and I can listen to music and the TV and whatnot much better than I used to.

    I know it's scary, especially in the early onset days. I was extremely anxious of sounds and I couldn't stand the sound of the refrigerator or my own PC. High anxiety + sound sensitivity is a hellish duo. But it will improve over time, it took me nearly two years to get there and I'm less...

    @HearingHell Sorry to hear you're also dealing with dysacusis, it's a hearing issue I never knew even existed until I got it but I guess that goes for everyone. I hope one day it'll just kind of disappear but after almost two years I don't know if that'll still happen lol.
