    Started Using Waxsol for Ears Full of Wax: Now Tinnitus Is Worse and Ear Is Blocked

    I would assume if softening the wax isn't getting it to come out naturally you may need to just clean your ears or have someone at a clinic do it.

    Tinnitus for 1 Month After Loud Noise Exposure (I'm 22 Years Old)... My Outlook?

    You'll get better at handling it even if the ringing itself doesn't get better. I'm about 6 months into this latest bout of T and I've been able to get back and focus on the important things around me. Also at this point if I'm doing anything outside or just get zoned into something I lose the...

    I don't know how well wind noise factors into it or how loud it is when I'm up to speed. Not terrible no. I almost think just having earplugs in for the ride might have spiked it a bit.

    Good to hear friend. I hate saying my t is a bit better because I feel like I'll jynx it. After my camping trip I had never before seen lows in my t. That or I'm starting to habituate. Thanks for the encouragement and here's to you getting better!

    Worried I've Made My Tinnitus Worse After Going to a Gun Shooting Range

    I think the indoor didn't really have an effect it may have just been my nerves making it worse. I did however go to a camping shooting meetup where I was exposed to copious amounts of gunfire (double earpro of course) t seemed worse at night because of lack of sleep but once I got home I was...

    3 Months Into Mild Tinnitus — Story for Newbies to Help Cope with Initial Panic and Depression

    I believe it was noise induced I don't know exactly what did it but it could have been one unprotected shot at the gun range or being in a band practicing in a small room. After I first told my parents they got my hearing checked and it was okay. Took precautions from then on and eventually I...

    Found Out a Co-Worker Completely Recovered from Noise-Induced Tinnitus

    @JuneStar Random question, did your tinnitus come on right after the gunshot or did it take a while? I feel like mine took weeks after my trauma before I had any noticeable issues.

    You and people like you are a big reason that I have hope with this most recent onset of tinnitus. Thank you so much for sharing your story. I mean it. Also to answer OP, I had my first bit of tinnitus in my early teens, finally just asked if it was normal and I was told it wasn't. After that...

    Worried I've Made My Tinnitus Worse After Going to a Gun Shooting Range

    I would say so. It's been louder since the first week of February It hasn't gone back to where it was before considering before it wasn't in my conscious thinking really anymore.

    Worried I've Made My Tinnitus Worse After Going to a Gun Shooting Range

    I get this. However before the spike or whatever you want to call it in February to where I could hear it loud all the time I had never really had a spike that I remember in the past 7 or more years

    Worried I've Made My Tinnitus Worse After Going to a Gun Shooting Range

    I would do anything for it to go back to what it was before February. That spike wasn't brought in by anything that I can think of. I also am thinking this spike from yesterday will go away and if not I guess I have more adjusting to do.

    Still No Proper Sleep, So Desperate — Does Deep Sleep Come Back with Habituation?

    Most nights I sleep with crickets playing on my google home speaker. I can sleep without it but I feel like without it I focus on it 100% more. I don't know if this helps or hurts habituation. I used to be fine when I was going to sleep.

    Habituation Linked to Sensory Memory

    Here's hoping that this isn't the case for me and that I can habituate to my increased tinnitus tone. I had it audible only when I went to sleep but had eventually tuned it out, then after multiple years it has come back with a vengeance to be at the front of my senses 24/7. Thanks for sharing...
