    A Success Story — And a Warning

    Hello everyone. If you were active on this site a month ago, you would have seen me fretting in the support thread about having developed terribly intrusive tinnitus from a concert. I was inconsolable, worried that I would never hear silence again. Looking back now, it's all but a bad dream...

    From Tone in Left Ear to High Pitched Squealing in Both Ears + Low Tone in the Background

    Hi everyone - me again. This sucks. Wanna know why my name is optigirl19? It means optimistic girl. I'm usually so optimistic. But right now, I'm scared. My tinnitus started two weeks ago after a ridiculously loud concert. It progressed from a tone in my left ear to what is now a high...

    Foolishly Attended a Loud Concert 2 Weeks Ago, Now My Tinnitus Is Back. Will It Go Away Again?

    Hi everyone. I'm an 19 year old girl about to turn 20 next month. I've been here before, I had a bad bout of tinnitus almost two years ago that eventually completely subsided after about 2 months. The initial onset was not as a result of noise trauma. To be fair I have no idea what caused it...
