    Noise Induced Hissing (Acoustic Trauma from a Wedding)

    Thought I'd check in after 2 years of getting tinnitus from an acoustic trauma. I would've loved to say it's gone but sadly no. However I'm not as affected by it as I was when I first got it. I guess my brain just got tired. I try to avoid loud noises but if they happen they happen. I don't...

    Noise Induced Hissing (Acoustic Trauma from a Wedding)

    I can't understand why my tinnitus is severe? I hear it all the time, in silence and in noise non-stop for 10 months now, same irritating tone in left ear. I read of people clubbing for years and going to many concerts and only hear theirs in the quiet or can mask it with a fan. Mine is bad...

    Oscillating Tinnitus

    The sad thing is that after a while of having tinnitus you start settling for less and less. From wishing that it goes away completely to wishing that it just becomes constant.

    Oscillating Tinnitus

    I used to experience fleeting tinnitus occasionally, no drop in hearing. This time was different and it happened after a noise trauma and after my ear was sore for two weeks.

    Oscillating Tinnitus

    Does anyone have an idea why the tinnitus tone fluctuates? I just wish it was one stable tone but no, it oscillates, it's like eeeeEEeeEEeee, those EEs are at a higher frequency and sound louder and more shrill. It's pure torture. According to my ENT I have synapse damage due to noise...

    7 Months Later Tinnitus Is Still with Me: Did My ENT Lie About Synapse Damage Being Able to Heal?

    Hi everyone, It's been 7 months since onset and my noise induced tinnitus is still with me. Not much has changed except I had hissing before and static and the eeeee, now it's just the high pitch eeee. Volume is the same, it's 24 hrs, in noise and silence. What drives me crazy is the variation...

    Noise Induced Hissing (Acoustic Trauma from a Wedding)

    I've reached the conclusion that my tinnitus is permanent. This is based on the experience of other forum members who displayed similar symptoms and had it for years. Anyone who stood near the speakers for extended time would afterwards have muffled hearing which sets off tinnitus. This tinnitus...

    Noise Induced Hissing (Acoustic Trauma from a Wedding)

    Everyone is talking about the steroids. Are there cases where steroids were not prescribed and people with noise induced tinnitus got better? Aren't steroids to prevent further damage? But if hearing is normal, is it still needed? With every one of these posts about steroids, I am starting to...

    Noise Induced Hissing (Acoustic Trauma from a Wedding)

    It's now 40 days since onset. Nothing has changed. Same level, not the slightest reduction whatsoever. Should I just surrender to the fact it's permanent and those synapsis are dead. Is the fact that tinnitus started 2 weeks after the trauma an indication that my tinnitus is unlike other noise...

    Noise Induced Hissing (Acoustic Trauma from a Wedding)

    No, just loud music in a medium hall but I was sitting near the speakers.

    Noise Induced Hissing (Acoustic Trauma from a Wedding)

    I had an acoustic trauma from a wedding in October. 2 weeks later, when waking up, there was a sudden reduction in hearing and tinnitus started right away. The hearing was back to normal 1 or 2 days later. Initially the tinnitus would switch between hissing and the high pitch eeeee sound. Now it...

    Would Reactive Tinnitus Indicate More Severe Damage to the Inner Ear?

    This post helped me a lot. I have a noise induced tinnitus going on for one month now with no improvement. I dont go to concerts or listen to loud music, I did wear earbud headphones for a long time but not at high volume. It was just this one time I went to a very loud wedding. Two weeks...
