Hi everyone, It's been a while since I posted on here, but I'm feeling ever more concerned about my music induced tinnitus, and the doctors don't seem to be much help! I've had tinnitus induced by loud music since 2017, and I have to say it has worsened over the years, from around a 1-2 out of...

Have you ever experienced a second acoustic trauma if yours was brought on by noise? I think I damaged mine further a second time so now it is quite a loud ringing, I do think I'm habituating and it really doesn't bother me too much... but I'd love for it to go back down to a hiss again at some...

Yes this sounds exactly the same as mine! If I push my jaw forward at all then it goes really loud. I think I definitely do have ETD, sometimes I get a really full feeling in my head too as if there's too much pressure. Do you take or do anything to ease your ETD?

Hi :) I've had noise induced tinnitus for over a year now, unfortunately it worsened after a second noise exposure but slowly habituating and keeping positive :) I just wondered if anyone else had any of the following symptoms along with their tinnitus, such as a fullness feeling in the ears...

Ok great thank you! I don’t know if I’m just over thinking it but it does definitely feel like it’s changed pitch since using the head pieces, I’ve been balancing them over my ears so they’re not fully covered and had it on a low volume whilst taking breaks... going to give it a few more days...

hi guys, I’ve just started a new temp job and I have to use a headpiece at work to speak to customers on calls. I avoid using earphones and headphones and I’m worried this earpiece will aggravate my tinnitus. Does anyone have any experience or been affected with this? Is there different...

@Ambassador was your tinnitus noise induced? Thanks for the advice!

@Bobby B I’ve just googled them, they’re definitely not very subtle but fashion goes out the window in the name of ear protection! Do you just wear them for takeoff and landing?

Hi Bobby, It’s noise induced T, so I guess that earplugs are probably a good idea?

Hi everybody :) Just wanted some information as I have some flights coming up, one short haul and one long haul in March. Has anyone used the earplane ear plugs and are these enough? Do I need to keep them in for the full flight or just take off and landing? Any tips appreciated :)

Oh thank you so much for such a thoughtful response! You’ve really helped make my evening feel a little less scary and overwhelming tonight. I also seem to be gripped by the Olympics, I’ve found myself watching it when I’ve been unable to sleep. Also just taken myself for a little evening walk...

I can’t really listen to a sound app as headphones are what have increased my T :( and I guess I can’t listen to it out loud on my phone. I feel like my ears are tuning in to the computers frequencies, it’s very strange. I’m glad that you’ve been able to adjust to your sounds. I’m really hoping...

Thanks both. Everything feels like it’s getting so much louder for me, I’ve been very emotional about it all today and so wondering if this stress is feeding it. I also find myself constantly checking for the noise, this is something I’ll have to change. I’m working in an office with lots of...

My tinnitus initially started in my right ear and has slowly made its way to my left. My left ear initially was just a low whooshing sound, a bit like having a fly stuck in your ear. Just this second it has changed to a high pitch screech. These changes in sound seem to be happening more...

Thanks very much, I’ll give that a read now! Thank you for your help and advice :)

I’m sorry to hear that headphones gave you tinnitus. May I ask if you still have tinnitus or has it subsided over time? It really shocks me how little is known about tinnitus outside of the community who have to deal with it. Really feel that the risks of noise exposure should be talked about...

Thanks Michael. I’m really hoping it will do. I’d read in other forums that use of headphones was ok but I guess this changes from person to person. I have so many friends in the music industry who have tinnitus and still produce music/attend events. I think I’ve been super unlucky here...

Hi everyone! I’ve had tinnitus since summer 2017 due to being exposed to loud music. What started as a ringing in my right ear slowly made its way across to my left. Most recently it became a low hiss which I barely noticed and it strangely became comforting... weird I know! I recently used...

Hi everyone... I’ve had tinnitus since this summer through loud music exposure. Recently I listened to headphones at a very low level and what was a strangely comforting hiss has turned into a much louder bleeping noise in both ears which I’m finding it very difficult to adapt to. This has been...
