Been a while since I been on here . But don’t give up . I had it from shooting guns at range . I thought my life was over but please believe me when I say if you’re positive mentally ( which is harder for some) it will go away or at least you won’t notice it until you decide to listen for it .

I’m doing ok . I heard silence last Tuesday when I walked in a closet with no sound. I still hear the T when I’m laying down on my T ear . I’ve seen progression slowly but still something to stay hopeful about.

I think I have H .. my T (noise induced)doesn’t bother me anymore it’s low in volume hoping it goes in due time.. but the reason I think I have H is because hollow sounds seem to be making my T ear sound like a broke speaker.. only in that ear but I’m not sure if it’s the same as y’all describe...

I have mild H . Which make certain high frequency sounds seem like a broken speaker but it has gotten better gradually. Don’t listen too much to people no one has the answers to any of this . So believe in yourself . All I can say is if u stay positive and keep your head up everything will work...

I find it true . That if you don’t mask it . Your brain tends to actually put it in the background noise that you don’t actually hear it anymore. Unless u get to a echoey place or a quiet surrounding. I used to try everything when I barely got it . Vitamins, no alcohol or weed . No salts or no...

I been noticed that my left nostril seemed to be clogged like if I had a stuffy nose. This starated happening ever since I got sinusitis about a year ago. I’m more sensitive to allergies which I never had before. Idk if that’s the reason my T which is in my left ear still lingering around. Could...

What’s the cause of urs? And how’s is ur T?

Somewhat yea I only hear it in quiet rooms or putting my head on a pillow. It’s like a electric buzzing more than anything. I would say it’s 85-90% gone How about you?

Question: Does the crackling I hear when I cup my ear to hear sound mean I might have impacted ear wax? I'm known to shove a cotton swab pretty deep even before the T from the shooting range . Because I've done it after the T and I twisted the swab and little pieces of hard dark brown wax seem...

Do you know how long does distortion to some sounds last when you have noise induced T?

Your story really gives hope.. if I'm as lucky I will still be around to share my story to help people like all the people here have helped me . Stay blessed bro and he sure to keep us up to date .

When you say gone.. u actually mean that u regain absolute silence back?

It was a .40 cal S&W I personally shot total of 30-40 shots. Period of an hour or so. But the last 6 o 7 shots were the culprit of my T because I shot those sitting down and there was small wood walls in each lane so I'm guessing the blast wave bounced off the wall and hit my ear. Even with ear...

Well no I don't think so . Just bothers me that i don't know if it will subside completely. By piercing what do you mean?

Yea I think so too. I just don't remember how high pitched it was in the beginning. At times it's hissing/humming sound then at times it'll be a low ring.. and lately idk y but I get these small headaches .. but I think it has something to do with my neck maybe I'm just thinking too much into it

@jjflyman mine sounds like a refrigerator running sorta like a hissing .. I'm barely going on my 2 month mark. I did the whole TM injection of dexamethasone. I had mild to moderate high frequency hearing loss in 3khz-4khz my left ear. But I could hear everything I heard on my good ear...

How was yours caused bro?

Thanks for your reply @Vinnitus yes I see that even some people who have hearing loss don't always have the Tinnitus.. lucky them .. but to answer your question the Dexamethasone was administered thru a injection to the ear drum.. which I had to stay with my T ear facing up for about 20 min. It...

@john mccluskey yes I see that but I wanted to know exactly what @Vinnitus was asking me of my threshold..

This is my first hearing test. Which I don't really don't know how to read..

@Vinnitus Is there a difference between dexamethasone and prednisone , that you may know ? I have emailed the ENT office to try and get a copy of my hearing test and I will post here once I do get it. ENT assured me I would be okay because I had no drainage or damage to the ear drum. That my...

@Vinnitus no I haven't gone back to see if I had any improvements in my hearing. Due to financial problems. And since the first time I went I was a self payed patient.it really sucks I don't have insurance due to other issues And it was Dexamethasone steroid shot. Not prednisone. I'm not sure...

Hey @Vinnitus this is my first battle with T . Mine was from going to the shooting range with ear plugs but I guess the left ear wasn't plugged right. I went to the ENT 3 days after the onset and I had moderate hearing loss in the high frequency. So he gave me a steroid to the ear drum which he...

Is dexamethasone the same as prednisone? Which is better or more likely to help?

I got T recently on April 3.2017 from going to the gun range . I had ear plugs but I'm guessing my left ear wasn't plugged In right.. I got muffled and distorted hearing. 3 days later I went to ENT and found out I had moderate hearing loss in the high Frequency. So he said my option was to get...

You say noise induced? Explain plz what kind of noise prolonged or one time thing?

Might I add I went to a ENT 3 days later and had moderate hearing loss in the high frequencies which he said I would be better if if I got the steroid shot to the eardrum since I was still in the 3 day window to receive it and see improvements. Even get my hearing back. Which I did get it and I...

I just recently got T from going to the outdoor shooting range . I know exactly when it happened. I sat down to shoot my .40 cal in my lane which had a wood cover on each side. When I shot I felt the sound wave hit my left ear but no pain. I had ear plugs but I just not in correctly . I only...

Gives hope, even though I'm doing much better than I was when I first got it. U can imagine Depression and anxiety at its finest.. but I was able to overcome that through talks with my love ones. Now I guess just hope it will just be a story if the past. Only on my 5th week so hope is high for...

I got T recently in beginning of April 2017 on a Sunday morning from going to the shooting range. I went to ENT the following Wednesday And they determined I had moderate hearing loss to high frequency in my left ear where I have T. They gave me a dexamethasone steroid shot to the eardrum...
