My tinnitus is from loud noise exposure but I was also curious to see if earwax or anything else could be making it worse. I ordered an otoscope and attached a picture of what I see. To me the ear drum looks purple and not healthy like the eardrums I've seen in photos/videos.
Any idea what...
I was losing my mind as my T is bad enough in one ear that it totally fucks up my entire life. Anyways, It's been over a year and I've tried everything. Always the worst after a shower. I won't go into details on why this mp3 player is a good masking device as no one ever seem to care or just...
Quick info: After a year I finally went to get a hearing test and hearing aid. All loss is in the 4k range. Much worse in my left. Loss is due to noise exposure.
Hearing aid: The audiologist suggest the Resound Linx2 so that the one I went with. Paid $2700 for one.
My experience: When the...
My tinnitus is from loud noise exposure almost a year ago. I'd been taking klonopin to keep it livable but of course that has started to not be as effective.
I've been using Androgel since I turned 40( 2 years ago). Seems testosterone starts dropping around age 40 and I was exhausted everyday...

- The loud concerts that caused my tinnitus were in July
- I noticed ringing that night but not much the next day
- the next couple months I noticed it a bit when going to bed but that was the only...
Hey Guys,
I'm finally ready to go to an ENT as I feel things may be getting worse. I realize there is not much that can be done for noise induced tinnitus but I would like to rule out things like ear wax build up and infection. Hoping to find an ENT that understands that Tinnitus is serious and...
It occurred during a 3 day concert in July. Affects mostly my left ear. This is what happened next...
1.For several months was slight ringing but didn't effect my day to day life and I could still ignore it to sleep. It did annoy me but it wasn't "life changing bad"
2. Early November I had a...
Yes, crickets. The creatures that seem to make the most soothing noise for T. The only making/TRT background sounds that seem to help my case are one with crickets. Maybe the tone of my T is a close match for their sound.
Hey Everyone, I'll try and give the quick version of how/when and what has helped.
The when and how:
Early July I went to a 3 day concert. Was in the section behind the stage and it was painfully loud. I should have moved but it there was no other open space and I was due for some fun.
