Hey guys, I'm going on almost 7 years with intrusive tinnitus after attending an indoor gun range with improperly fitted hearing protection. My left ear was left with mild hearing loss and moderate to severe tinnitus and my right ear was only left with some (about 15 dB loss in the 4 kHz-6 kHz...

I was recently diagnosed with bronchitis/pharyngitis. I have been sick constantly this year from upper respiratory infections and have taken an oral course of penicillin in Jan 2017 and an oral course of amoxicillin about 2 months later, both for sinus infection/pharyngitis. I now have been...

Hey everyone, It has been a while since I've posted on TT. This month will be my 3 year anniversary with intrusive T and moderate HL. I wish I could say I am habituated but although I am not am nervous wreck like I was in the beginning, I still deal with hardships daily. I graduated 2 years...

I just graduated college with a BS in Public Health. I had originally planned to go to medical school to become a doctor but I don't think the stress and time will be worth it now with T and hearing loss. I am now looking at going to nursing school then ultimately become a physician assistant...

Hello everyone, I am applying to jobs and i was wondering when it would be a good time to disclose my hearing loss (mild to moderate in left, mild in right) and my tinnitus. The job I am applying requires to be in an office half the time and the other half out on the field. Should I let them...

I just graduated college and will start applying to jobs. I have hearing loss in both ears with the left being worse than the right. I do have hearing aids which only help minimally in quiet environments. I fear I won't be able to keep a job due to my hearing loss and tinnitus. Do any of you...

Hi everyone, As the title says, it has almost been a year with severe tinnitus (May 20, 2015) and I have had many ups and downs. I started to habituate quite well back in January and these past two months I have been so anxious and depressed about it. I FINALLY graduate university this Friday...

Hi guys, I am a Public Health major and need to start a campaign. I was thinking I would do hearing loss and tinnitus awareness since young adults and teens are experiencing an increase in hearing loss and tinnitus. I would like to raise awareness to people especially those in the college age...

Hi all, Since I have accepted that T will be with me 'till death do us part', I would like to know what life with T is like to all of you? This question is more so directed to those that have had T over a year and a half and have habituated mostly to it. However, all answers are welcome. Even...

Almost 4 months in and I feel like a newbie again. I was doing fine but then it got to me. I feel I can hear the ringing all the time no matter what I try to do to mask it. I'm probably just so focused on it that I can't be drowned. I started school and I know that's a major reason I'm focused...

Hi guys, For the last 3 months I have been dreading the day I return to school not because it is school but because of the new challenges I would face, tinnitus and hearing loss. I feared I would not be able to concentrate because of my screeching ring in my head. I also feared I would not be...

Hi guys, So I am glad to say that I am doing much better since my onset. Have more and more good days than bad. I am working full-time right now (during my summer break) but will soon start school in August. I am scare thinking that since I am still habituating it will be a struggle...

Hi guys, So I have had tinnitus for a little less than two months. First of all I want to say thank you to all of you who have taken the time out of your day to help me. This forum is a lifesaver. Now, since tinnitus is best treatable in the acute stage, what treatments can I still pursue at...

Hi Everyone, I developed T from shooting a gun and have had only a constant ring for almost 2 month s now (although louder at the beginning). I use to jog often (7mi-10mi 5x's a week). I stopped exercising after T onset and I have started to go jogging again. About 2 miles into the jog I start...

So I have taken online audiograms and have different results. When I took one using a pulsating tone my 4 khz drops down to about 30db but when I take it using warbled tones it is at about 10db. I know that it is my tinnitus masking the tones but if I go get fitted for hearing aids do they go...

So this week has been a pretty bad week for me. I have been pretty anxious because of my T and my small hearing loss. Took a self test and lost about 10-15db and in the 4khz. I can still hear fine but I do miss some things. I just don't know anymore. I am about a month and a half in since the...

Hello to all and I hope everyone is having a great day! It has been about a month and a week since my tinnitus onset. I am about 85% back to my old self. The first week was the worst but once I started accepting the T it started to fade into the background and I no longer hear it as much. Day...

Hello all, I am still in the acute stage of tinnitus (16 days in) after noise exposure. It was horrible the first week as my anxiety and depression were at its worst but I feel a bit more optimistic now. Although I have seen the ENT and I feel better each day I have a slight ring in my left...

Hello guys, My name is Enrique I recently experienced acoustic trauma from an indoor shooting range two weeks ago. I wore ear plugs but don't think they were in right. From that day I experienced tinnitus and hyperacusis. All I did the first week was develop anxiety, depression and suicidal...
