    First Spike in 2 Years — After Neighbor Cranked His Stereo Really Loud

    I got tinnitus 2.5 years ago from a concert with no earplugs. It wasn't horrible, I could mostly only hear it in a quiet room. I was really upset about it for a long time, but I eventually habituated and it almost never bothered me. I was always really careful to wear earplugs and avoid loud...

    Upcoming MRI

    Well I know the logic behind why it's louder, but I thought my tinnitus was going away and it seems to be just as loud as it was when I put plugs in.

    My 3 Week Progress

    So I'm 3 weeks into my noise induced tinnitus. Overall I'm feeling better, I actually rarely notice the ringing anymore. I really have to look for it to find it, and when I do it's more of a hiss now than a ringing. I feel like I have turned a corner and may be on the road to...

    As the title says. Does it change? If it's safe for people with healthy ears is it safe for people with damaged ears.

    Ringing Ears After Concert Last Friday

    My ENT appointment isn't for another 3 weeks and my prednisone scrip runs out in 2 days. Should I visit another GP in the mean time(the first was just over the phone) or should I just wait until my ENT. I don't know how many of these treatments are time sensitive

    Ringing Ears After Concert Last Friday

    So I went to a concert, and stupidly I didn't wear any ear plugs and now I'm paying the price. It was loud right away but got worse as the night went on. I was just having a good time and didn't think about putting them in. Now my right ear is ringing for sure and possible my left. I can only...
