Thanks @Lane Will definitely try it out.

I agree. What u meant to say was that I wonder how my hearing will be affected as u age now that there has been some possible damage.

What caused the hearing loss is a question I baffle with daily. I cannot say exactly. Too many possibilities. I have not been exposed to loud noise and i don't work in a noisy area. Audiology tests are very strange. As mentioned in my earlier posts. They told me the OAE test is the most...

Hi Lucaas_79 Unfortunately it has not stopped. I am now convinced that I have ETD as well. My ears feel clogged most of the time...I saw an ENT who confirmed that my tubes are blocked and prescribed a nasal spray to use over 3 months. I think the medication may have also caused chronic...

Hi @John53546 I know this is an old post but it caught my attention. DPOAE and hearing are complex things. I met a lady who has no DPOAEs in all frequencies but normal hearing. No one really knows for sure what the results mean for your furure hearing. Im of the opinion that because everyones...

Hi guys. Can OAEs really improve over time? I was told they can. Also, can we really link OAEs to tinnitus or its just a theory?

My cousin also got tinnitus from a single gun shot. It completely cleared in 2.5 years. Hamg in there. He went through a really tough time but now its gone.

This is great news. Thank you for sharing. I read your intial post and noticed you were quite convinced it wont go but here you are today and its gone. Your story gives many people hope. I am curious though as to why you still lurking this forum? Did you by any chance share your success story in...

Hi Guys, So I've been wondering; How come some people with detectable hearing loss (on an Audiogram) don't have tinnitus? I also know of someone with normal hearing but no detectable OAE's and has no tinnitus. For those wondering what OAE's are - it's a test used to detect inner ear hair...

Think of it this way...What will happen to your eyes if you wear shades all the time to avoid any form of light? Your eyes will eventually become very sensitive to light. Your ears need stimulation but in moderation. Everything in moderation. So i think what they are saying is that Yes do...

Did the medication list T as a side effect? Medication can definitely trigger T-i know this because I've never been exposed to noise in my life or have any history of hearing loss and my T started while taking medication but I was also very stressed out and anxious days before the T started so...

I agree. Severe pain is harder to ignore compared to mild pain. I really pray and hope your T gets better and I believe it will. When my cousin had it very bad he would get up and walk out the house at night. They had to keep the doors locked so he doesn't get out. He was probably 12 years old...

Habituation is definitely the first step. For me habituation is the process when the subconscious mind has built so much resilience to the T that it can easily block it out the same way it's able to block out the sound of your fridge. Ever wondered why you sometimes don't hear your...

My colleague recently went for an ear operation to repair his eardrum and he doesn't have T. Even after the operation there's no T. His ear is also partly deaf but no T. He told me his eardrum got damaged from an infection which was not treated. My advice is stay positive nomatter what. Anything...

@Anima thank you so much for you're response and sharing your story. It's amazing what medications can do to our bodies. It seems like you had a really bad experience. Would you say your tinnitus eventually went away the first time(if so, after how long) and did you do any hearing tests and...

Hi everyone If your tinnitus improved after medication with tinnitus listed as an uncommon (0,01-1% chance) or common side effect or you know of stories from other people, please do share with me. Most of the stories I come across are from people with noise exposure. Thanks!

I understand. Its a very difficult condition to cope with. I say give it time. You wont see great improvements in the first 6 months. It takes time. Just make sure you make some changes to your lifestyle. My cousin had a really tough experience but now hes so much stronger and even forgot about...

I never took it. I couldn't find it at the pharmacy

My ENT usually prescribes Nootropil medications to tinnitus patients. The medications is thought to increase oxygen intake in the brain. He says after a month or so of taking the medications the tinnitus disappears. My Audiologist also confirmed this. So I think you're right.

Hi @Karen I noticed yours was also caused by medication like mine. Have you you had a full Audiogram assessment done including OAE tests? Apparently some drugs can damage the hair cells in the inner ear and this can be detected by an OAE test. Also, how long were you on the medication? Blood...

I think we tend to speculate alot based on the few stories we read. I don't think anyone really knows that tinnitus that can only be heard in quiet rooms has a greater chance of seizing than one heard over everything. My cousin (who got tinnitus from a gun shot) cant really remember when he...

Do you know what caused T for your brother in law?

@Bill Bauer he really can't remember the details but he did say that his ear would sometimes go deaf and He also experienced sound sensitivity. He's fine now and doesn't really want to talk about the experience. He used to watch tv in till he fell asleep because he couldn't be in a quiet room...

Hi guys, I just wanted to encourage you that tinnitus can disappear. I recently spoke to a cousin of mine who had severe tinnitus for 2.5 years after a gun shot incident. Spoke to him recently and he said it completely disappeared. I also spoke to another cousin who was born with bad...

Hi @Houstontx. Is your tinnitus gone?

Hi @Nicholas Watkins did your tinnitus go away?

Hi @Vegas Robb. Did your tinnitus go away?

Hi @_Chris Thanks for all your updates How is your tinnitus now? Did you do an OAE test at the Audiologist to check if your inner ears are fine?

Hi @Dilshaad Has your tinnitus improved?

@Parfait Hi. Did your tinnitus go away? Mine has been with me for a month since stopping medication.

@DebInAustralia my hearing was only tested up to 8khz. Interesting thing is that the Audiogram shows perfect hearing in all these frequencies but the OAE doesn't respond to 6 and 8khz. Jaw movements and face movements don't change anything. I'm actually getting more and more depressed by the...

@kevino was your high frequency hearing loss detected by an Audiogram or an OAE? I also developed tinnitus from taking anti HIV meds for 28 days. My Audiogram results are perfect in all frequencies but the OAE shows damage at 6khz and 8khz. I'm still hopeful that i will recover. It's been 1month...

@DebInAustralia I listened to both 6khz and 8khz sounds from youtube and I do hear the sounds. I can't really say that it relieves my tinnitus because I also don't hear the tinnitus when there's other background sounds which are not within the these frequency ranges I.e. rushing water. So I...

@Kolisar thank you so much for your message and support. I will definitely keep you updated on my progress... @DebInAustralia I haven't tried the frequencies and I'm not sure how I'd be able to do so. I was put on Issentress(1 tablet twice a day) and Truvada(1 tablet once a day). The ringing is...

Hi everyone. I'm a 31 year old healthy male. On the 10th of August 2017 I was exposde to someone's blood during a car accident and was immediately put on anti HIV medication for 28 days. I developed ringing in ears after taking the medication for 10 days. I did an OAE test with an...
