When sitting here stationary, I am free to scan my mind across my whole past, starting from my first ever conscious memory, all the way to present day, right now. My mind is free to do that. When stationary, I am free to analyze my whole entire future, allowing positive or negative lenses to...

This has been my main struggle the past month or two. Even if my tinnitus were to go away completely, 100%, and my hearing loss repaired too, I would still forever be afraid of going out to any kind of loud event. I am a single male in my 20's, and really do want to experience having a...

Is there any reason for worry, or is this just "part of the game," so to speak? Approximately once a week I have a moment where I lose ALL of my hearing in one or the other ear, but never both at the same time. The hearing loss lasts no more than 1 second, then immediately after I get an...

Not sure how this topic will fly here, but I’m kind of curious to see what sorts of replies I get. Having another sleepless night so I’ve decided to hang out here in the general chat section. Well then, how old were you? I’m 22 and still waiting on mine :D :D XD

TL;DR: I discuss my progress with separating stress from tinnitus. Please read the whole post, or at least the part about the locomotive since I think that part is most helpful and easy to understand. Hi all, Zer0 here back again after a little while of being absent... (I even forgot the...

I know this is desperate, and I know this topic has been covered before on this forum but I don’t know how to proceed with my decision making. I understand that if this were to be effective, I’d need to start it as soon as possible since I’ve had a noise insult last Saturday, 3 days ago. I...

Hi, so I’ve had tinnitus for about 10-11 months now which was caused by acoustic trauma (using power tool with no ear protection). Just last Saturday I was volunteering for some “repair children’s bikes” event and had a tire blow up near my right ear while I was inflating it. Immediately after...

I can't habituate. I'm going on my 10th month since this started, and it's completely changed my life around. I can't do anything without being scared of how it will affect my ears. I can't eat or drink anything without thinking about that. I can't even go outside my house because I'm worried...

Hey all, Zer0 again, Just a short(ish) one this time: is it possible to have a permanent tinnitus increase from sounds less than 85dB? Also: is it bad to speak loudly with earplugs in? I just went to a restaurant where they were playing loud-ish music, according to my decibel app on my iPhone...

Hey again, Last night I was invited to a small social event, not something I get invited to often, so I decided to go. Brought earplugs, wore the earplugs at first, but then felt embarrassed for wearing them at one point, so I took them out. It didn’t seem that loud, but I didn’t check decibels...

TL;DR: Had tinnitus because of loud noise insult 7 months ago, yesterday got concussion, ringing has increased since. Wondering if anyone has had this and will it go away. Will the ringing in general go away, since it’s been with me for 7 months? I could only find existing threads where either...

Hey guys, I’m just wondering if my tinnitus could be at least partially related to this dull neck pain that I am experiencing? My T started about 6 months ago from loud noise exposure, but since then the constant-tone, high-pitched hum has reduced a lot. (I believe this tone was due to the...

**warning** negative emotions involved in this post. Hey people. I’m experiencing a crisis and am wondering if anyone has figured anything out on this topic before: Basically, what is the point of living? I’m only 21, and about 5 months ago I stupidly damaged my hearing with a loud power...

Hey guys, first post here, but I’ve been reading the forums for a while now. I finally decided to post because everything that I’ve tried, and all professionals that I’ve talked to have not made a difference, or made things worse. It’s long so I’ve summarized it in the TL;DR at the bottom...
