    Win, Mostly — I Feel Cured

    I first got tinnitus a little over two years ago after a a single acoustic trauma. Tinnitus, hyperacusis, reactive tinnitus. The first few weeks, the sound of a clock ticking hurt me. The sound of the sea waves outside or the sound of the wind did the same, and made my tinnitus react and...

    Was Doing So Well, Then It All Went Downhill Fast

    Hey all, I had my initial trauma 10 months ago. Was a difficult first few months, but I protected my hearing a lot (avoiding loud places, wearing custom -35 dB plugs outside and Peltor muff when things got loud). The tinnitus had slowly lowered o a slight "shhh" that was so low i was ok to...

    Medical Science Cannot Explain What's Happening to Me

    Ever since my acoustic trauma 7 weeks ago, I've had tinnitus in my right ear but that's not all. If I lie on one side, my ear on that side become full and stay full for hours. I've had orange putrid "liquid" leaking every once in a while from my right ear. The valsalva maneuver stopped working...

    No Idea What to Do (New to Tinnitus / Hyperacusis)

    Hey, I got my issue for an acoustic trauma 3 weeks ago in the first ever concert I went to in my life following friends (stayed for 30 minutes). I took cortisone for a week starting 48 hours after the trauma. Over the last week, trying to somehow restart my life I have noticed: If i stay in...

    Burning Ear Symptom

    Hey there, I'm still new to tinnitus (2 weeks). I had a week worth of cortisone the first week (not sure it did much). After 2 weeks, I think tinnitus is slowly going down (especially in the morning) and full ear stopped. I hear normally again but something strange is happening. My ears feel...
