585 days of hell. If the medical establishment cares so much about people this should be researched better.

I can't offer much help but I can tell you I struggle with all the same issues. I try to take joy in the fact I'm otherwise healthy. I did go see Dune 2, with earplugs. You'll eventually find your comfort zone for "risking it". No one gets out of this alive so you need to enjoy yourself as...

Get yourself to an ENT that will prescribe you Prednisone or another kind of steroid. Mine initially started after an EDM festival and the steroids helped, although be warned they do not help everyone. I wouldn't go to anymore EDM shows if I were you, they're way too loud and you've received a...

I had a positive experience with Prednisone. Do your own research and take your own gambles. My tinnitus was 50% worse pre-Prednisone. I did two rounds of it. I also had aural fullness and hearing loss, which resolved along with the tinnitus lessening.

Insane, yes. But the honest answer is yes, people do. I personally wouldn't though. You're asking to make it worse. Perhaps see if you can get a medical note for work explaining you need 6 months to heal from auditory injury and cannot be at a range? It may go away within 6 months. I still...

I'm sorry to hear that. :( You're already using all the supplements I would suggest. I've quit alcohol too just to see if it does anything (high inflammatory and neurotoxin) but it's too soon to know if it'll do anything.

I don't have much insight to contribute unfortunately, but I'm a woman too and find this a super interesting theory. I hope you discover the cause!

Vaccine reactions can be very delayed. Like by years. That's why it is very risky to get EUA vaccines that haven't been thoroughly and properly tested through the normal routes, which take decades. That being said, it sounds like yours might be associated with inflammation. Try tinkering with...

Hi, My tinnitus is noise induced but personally I wouldn't play with this. Sorry to hear your daughter is so young and suffering from this. I imagine it would be a lot worse at her age. At two weeks, she shouldn't panic. It can take 3-6 months to subside. Sometimes 1-2 years or more, but do...

Well, at least two of us have some balls.

I know I wasn't. I feel like there's definitely a path to sue that would force festivals and concerts to have protection laws but most tinnitus sufferers don't seem to want to investigate it. You're the first one to take it seriously I've met on Tinnitus Talk and I've been here over a year.

Do you still use the Kava supplement?

I had a very weird experience with a Melatonin (0.5mg), L-Theanine (100 mg), chamomile (25 mg) and lemon grass (25 mg) sleep supplement I tried. I basically experienced really extreme depersonalization and slow/stupefied thinking. It went away after a few hours but was terrifying in the...

I'm not in California, I'm in New York but the incident happened in New Jersey. Thank you for the information though. I would like to do some kind of class action lawsuit. It's quite awful. I'm up with the ringing right now.

Thanks. It's quite ridiculous the way people look at it as "just ringing"... This is nice to read as I'm holding onto hope I could still improve some.

Sorry to hear your tinnitus is so loud. Yes, that's why I keep researching despite the overwhelming push not to here by so many people, which I frankly find strange. I think Susan Shores device is more targeted than Lenire so there is hope there. I am also exploring what could have...

It's really not an accusation. You are dragging someone down. There's a success stories section because it does successfully go away for some people and for some of those people it's even been after years. Since nothing seems to be well documented in any capacity regarding tinnitus I don't...

I'm so sorry to see three people agreeing with you. People have had tinnitus spontaneously reverse after years of suffering. I know you're suffering terribly from your posts so I understand the grouchiness but no need to try and drag others down. I personally think tinnitus is curable...

Thanks. I was blaming myself for a bit. Please keep your negativity to yourself. :)

Slightly freaked out after realizing my kitchen hood vent (which my landlord makes me use constantly) is at 70 dB (using a free meter). I haven't been using earplugs while it is on. I think my tinnitus is perceived by me as 40 dB, which is terrifying, as the table fan that masks it reads as...

I don't think I will ever stop researching it. It's just how I am. I have read everything I can get my hands on about it. Lenire actually just got in touch with me. In the US it's $300 for the consultation and $4,000 for the device... Based on what I've researched on it and read on Tinnitus...

Sorry, I did not see this earlier. Yes, I did. My acoustic trauma was very severe immediately after the incident. I had aural fullness in both ears, pain, my ear canals felt wet all the time (I still do not know why this was), and I could not hear properly (muffled hearing/everything sounded...

I appreciate your response, Michael. You have a lot of good information. I am still curious though to see if eliminating alcohol does anything. I only drink socially so it does not bother me to eliminate it again. Since alcohol is a neurotoxin and they seem to think chronic tinnitus lies more...

Small update: Going to try eliminating alcohol after new year's as it is a neurotoxin. I'm not a heavy drinker but I do drink about 3-4 drinks a week, and am wondering if this had a cumulative contributing effect. I have drank like this since I was 21. Alcohol is inflammatory and can disrupt...

I'm so sorry to hear this. Stay strong.

I'm having a rough night but interestingly enough I think I am almost experiencing silence in my left ear. The ringing is a lot fainter in the left than the right... more of a twinkling noise. The right ear is still pretty damn loud though and unfortunately driving me nuts. I also don't hear...

Suffering from tinnitus for 1 year and three months after a 2 day music festival. Events should have decibel warnings. Want to sue.

I'd take it as some hope it can one day be gone permanently.

From your story, I would quit smoking. It's not worth the damage.

Hi, I'm sorry you're dealing with this. You can check my post history for information on my case. I am also suffering from tinnitus caused by acoustic trauma (music festival). I've had mine over a year now. It has largely improved but I still have ringing. Everything I did to try and mitigate...

This was really good to read. Thanks for sharing.

I know my last replies were pretty dark. Just thought I'd follow up with some kind of positive news - the past week I've been sleeping without any fan or Melatonin and been able to get a full 8 hours sleep. This has been pretty huge for me. I can't really say it's gotten lower but I'm happy...

I don't think eating healthy can really heal it but I do notice that alcohol can make it louder. Apparently the alcohol can inhibit parts of the brain that would normally filter the noise down. I read this somewhere awhile back... I still drink but not excessively. I personally no longer really...

Hi, I'm sorry to hear you're suffering with this. Don't be afraid to call the national suicide hotline. I did very frequently for the first six months. I can't really say it's gotten any better. I can hear it right now and I absolutely hate it. I lose sleep from it sometimes or feel like I...

Hi @Kerza, I still have it. It is a little over a year now. I'm not going to lie, it hasn't improved. I'm less suicidal from it. Some nights I manage to sleep without any masking noise but most I can't. Wish I had something better to report back.

Yours really faded...? It'll be a year for me in September. I had kind of given up hope.

I've been suffering the same way for almost a year now from the same cause. You can check my posts out for some things I've tried/looked into.

I'm glad you're habituating. I dislike when people describe that the ringing is gone and that isn't actually the case though. It's important to keep the distinction so we eventually know why it actually resolves for some people and doesn’t for others, especially for people with very intrusive...

I am wondering if alcohol without loud noise can cause tinnitus? Sounds ridiculous but wondering if anyone has heard of a case like that...

Glad to hear you're doing better. I'm suffering from a similar acoustic trauma. You no longer experience any ringing at all?

I have been able to fix my sleep. But it requires a fan on and taking 1 mg of Melatonin. I am not sure how I would fare in a situation where I did not have access to these things, which bothers me. I don't like being dependent on things, even if it's just a fan and some Melatonin. The...

Thanks. Yeah, I figured the more anecdotal experience records we have, the better. I'm in my living room right now with the windows closed and I can hear it. If I didn't know better I would think my electronics were making a buzzing sound/light beeping. I really only hear it in quiet places...

I've been going through the same thing following a music festival, seven months now. If you want, check out my thread on my profile about my experience. It is hard and sucks but at the least it becomes manageable.

Sitting at the back of a plane does spike mine. I don't know. It depends on how much you're willing to risk it.

I'm sorry you're dealing with this. Two months is not a long time in the tinnitus world. Try not to lose hope. It can still improve. It is not considered chronic until 6 months and even then people have had it resolve after 12 months, 2 years. Just protect your ears and balance that with...

What type of Magnesium are you taking? Currently I've been taking Glycinate but I'm wondering if another version is better.

Sounds like they understand more of how vaccines worked* than you do. The US literally changed the definition of a vaccine to let this medical procedure pass as one. It was also an EUA - which if you read up on the EUA laws regarding vaccines and treatments, they are supposed to be offered...

I would recommend seeing if you could get a medical exemption concerning additional boosters. If one already aggravated it and made it worse, there is no need to take more chances.

It's a category for medical procedures/interventions though? I've just never heard a doctor refer to any procedure or treatment as salvage. I get it would imply it's a last ditch effort though. The shots you mention are the ones administered to the inner ear? I've read about them before I think.

What does the classification of salvage mean?

Hi all, Since people seem to find this thread useful, and there isn't a lot of information on tinnitus, I wanted to give my seven month update. For some background: My tinnitus onset was September 19, 2022 following a two day music festival a month after suffering tinnitus for two weeks after...
