I am agnostic, and actually almost never prayed, but I did with the tinnitus and also with COVID-19. But, I don't believe in prayers, hehe. And I don't think it made mine go down in volume/disappear. But yeah, I don't believe my prayer will help anyone's tinnitus. But maybe it does? Desperate...

I am doing 1000% better, or at least A LOT better. First of all, the ringing is down even more from April, to now almost nothing there. I still hear faint ringing several times a week, but some days I don't even hear it lying in bed. I would say it is super faint at most times, or actually not...

I am doing a lot better. The tinnitus is there for the most part, but I would say the volume has decreased quite a bit. I can't even hear it in silent rooms most of the time. It goes a bit up and down in volume, but it is bothering me less now than before when I hear it. If I plug my ears I can...

Comparing the audiogram I took 20th November 2018 with the one I took 3rd March 2021. 3rd Match 2021 - 20th November 2018 Right ear: 125 Hz: 15 dB - 10 dB 250 Hz: 15 dB - 10 dB 500 Hz: 10 dB - 10 dB 1000 Hz: 10 dB - 10 dB 1500 Hz: 0 dB - not tested 2000 Hz: 10 dB - 10 dB 3000 Hz: 0 dB...

My tinnitus has today been super quiet. Almost not noticeable, which is really good. But sometimes over the last few days it has been more noticeable at work, but looks like it goes up and down throughout the day. I wear some Alpine PartyPlugs earplugs (which I also wash almost every evening)...

I feel traumatized from how I got the tinnitus, and damaged my ears. I don't know if I would call it PTSD, but I get flashbacks to the incident (3 months) ago, every day, and also in the morning when I wake up. I feel like I kind of sacrificed some of my hearing in the moment, because of...

I would say the worst now is actually the trauma of it all. The thought about the rave, and how then knowing it was not good, and still not do anything about it. Feels like I did it on myself almost intentionally, but I did not. I was just in a bad loop, and did not get myself to put in the...

I am thankful that I did not fck up my hearing, or got worse tinnitus than what I got. I am sure I will be able to habituate to the tinnitus. Yeah, I don't know if the girl ridiculing me made me not protect my ears. But I was thinking about not looking stupid with earplugs at the rave, so could...

Thanks for the encouraging words. I kind of feel I am asking "what?" a bit more now than I did before, but not sure if I actually hear worse than I did. Yeah, I will always wear earplugs, and I if I end up at a really loud party/concert again, I will for sure just leave. There was this one girl...

I've been feeling better about the tinnitus, but worse about potential hearing loss. I think I will habituate to the tinnitus at this moment, I also feel it is more quiet now than it was some days ago. But I feel really bad about if my hearing is worse than before the rave. I was first not...

Found the audiogram from this week: Right ear: 125 Hz: 15 dB 250 Hz: 15 dB 500 Hz: 10 dB 1000 Hz: 10 dB 1500 Hz: 0 dB 2000 Hz: 10 dB 3000 Hz: 0 dB 4000 Hz: 0 dB 6000 Hz: 15 dB 8000 Hz: 15 dB Left ear: 125 Hz: 20 dB 250 Hz: 15 dB 500 Hz: 10 dB 1000 Hz: 10 dB 1500 Hz: 0 dB 2000 Hz: 10 dB 3000...

I have not blocked my ears with my fingers today :-) So try to keep it like that. 10 times a day is better than 120 times a day. I should probably also keep off the forum, hehe. But today I feel a lot better about the tinnitus. I took some MDMA yesterday to try to detraumatize myself from the...

I have tried Ketamine after I got tinnitus, also a quite huge dose which sent me into k-hole (first proper k-hole). I would say it is no miracle cure at all. But I am not sure. I will try to experiment a bit more in maybe a few weeks' time.

I have decided to not put my fingers in my ears at all (to hear if the tinnitus still is there). This, and also I am not trying to talk to new people about tinnitus (at least for a few months, later on it could still be good to raise awareness). And trying to stop talking to my friends about my...

The positives from getting tinnitus, is that other worries and fck ups become much smaller. Doing something wrong at my workplace did for example not even touch my feeling almost at all. The most important is the health in the end. I still wear some Alpine party-plug earplugs at home a bit...

I read about the vagus nerve first in the book "The Ultramind Solution", I highly recommend that book. In the book the author says that through a deep breath into your stomach you activate the vagus nerve. It will then turn off stress response and activate the parasympathetic stress response...

I just wanted to share a life hack, also I can recommend the book "The Ultramind Solution". The lifehack, is the vagus nerve. By "poking" the nerve, which you do by taking a deep breath into your stomach, so it really fills up, this will then relax the body. You can also swallow the air, and...

I have kind of started to think that the damage I did to my hearing was not good at all. I am thinking 15 dB hearing loss, if that before the party was 10 dB or 5 dB is not good at all. While 15 dB loss is maybe not the worst, then 15 dB is closer to 20/25/30dB. I used up all my extra lives...

I've been to the ENT, and I have 25 dB hearing loss at 7000 Hz left ear, other than that it is maximum 15 dB hearing loss (I can't find the audiogram right now, I will update when I find it). I think the tinnitus in my left ear is around 7000 Hz. So yeah, probably that is the fuck up. I hope it...

I had once fluid in the air, and also a mild tinnitus. It started with me having the tinnitus, went to doctor and the doctor looked in my ears and said there was fluid. Then I got Nasonex nose spray to use, and then blow air out my nose like 5 times a day or something like that. It went away...

I am daily really struggling with the tinnitus thing. I was already a bit uninspired and did not enjoy life too much before I got the tinnitus, in the weeks before. But now with the tinnitus it is really really easy to be depressed about it. I need to stop focusing on the tinnitus at all. And I...

Sucks to hear your tinnitus went bad :-( Hope it gets better. I know I can't blame myself, but waking up today, I have to say I almost got a bit nauseous thinking about the whole rave. How loud it was, me wishing it would end, and me not putting in my earplugs. I have kind of always protected my...

I really hate that I did not protect my ears on the rave, it is really really hard on my mind I have to say. Feel so stupid, but yeah. Can't change the fact :-( I will forever protect my ears from now on, but I can't see myself never go to another rave/concert either. Getting the tinnitus has...

When my tinnitus has been at its quietest, then I could only hear it when plugging my ears in a close to silent room. Now I hear it without plugging my ears in a close to silent room. I have also been kind of able to hear it in a quiet silent setting without plugging my ears. So the volume has...

Thanks for the tips. I will check these out.

I will ask my doctor for some, could be nice to have some in case. I've always been a bit afraid of benzos because of potential to addiction, but having a few in case I feel really bad about the tinnitus could be nice.

Psychedelics I will stay away from for now for sure. And weed I really really should try to stay away from completely as I can get anxiety from it. But I have had my moments of stupid where I smoked weed and then got super anxious. But yeah, staying away from weed I will really try.

Thanks for encouraging words. It is like my brain actually already sometimes has filtered out the high pitch tone. If it fades away completely I will be forever grateful. It probably sounded really bad since you you said I should lay off drugs for a few days. The only drug I really have...

Zopiclone/Clonazepam for sleeping? I don't have problem sleeping, except for when I was in the panic state, I sleep really good. Sleeping has kind of been my strong side always. Or is it good against the tinnitus? Or if I end up in a panic? Is it too late to take steroids? I am in quarantine...

I was at a rave before Christmas, which I already thought could be a bad idea because of corona, but I was in the area and there were almost no COVID-19 cases either in the area, so I went, also a bit because some friends of mine were going. I had lost my filter earplugs already earlier in the...
