    Tinnitus After Shooting a 12 Gauge with Improper Hearing Protection

    Sorry to hear that, @Trini62. It really all depends on the individual. My minor hearing loss came from an autoimmune deficiency, so my hearing loss wasn’t as common as others’. Hopefully, things work out for you. That being said, I’d suggest taking precautions but still living your life to the...

    All I Wanted Was to Be a Mom — My Vent Story of How Tinnitus Has Broken My Life

    So sorry for your struggles, life has a tendency to kick us around. The main thing I got from your story is, you are much stronger than you think. Just a reminder that most of us have so many other things going on in life than just tinnitus. You are not alone! Stay strong!

    Hi Sarah, You are absolutely correct. When I first got T, I would tell my wife, "how stupid is this!", really, but then something called floaters happened to me. Apparently things that go with getting older, anyway, they are just as stupid as tinnitus, hang in there.

    How Can You Habituate to LOUD Tinnitus?

    Hydrops can also be associated with AIED. I was diagnosed with that earlier this year, but seems like I’ve had it for years. My first bout with minor hearing loss occurred in 2015. My second bout with more hearing loss happened December 2019. Several months of testing finally revealed AIED...

    On My Way to Recovery from Tinnitus and Hyperacusis

    @Vassili ...No doubt, the mind is truly where the battle is.

    Eustachian Tube Blocked Along with Insane Tinnitus in My Ear

    So I know I’m late in this conversation and may not get a reply but figure I’d give it a shot. Fortunately my symptoms are not as severe as others here but it can still get annoying.

    Woke Up in the Middle of the Night to SSHL: I Never Thought It Would Happen to Me

    Hello Chinmoku, Believe it or not it was my ENT. It is a specific blood test in which they look for autoimmune deficiencies. Kind of a bummer because out of all the people with hearing loss only 1% is due to an autoimmune deficiency. Certain viruses can mask themselves in your body. Sometimes...

    Does Your Tinnitus Ever Stop Briefly and Then Return?

    Hi Angela, Man, I think I'd freak a little if I had any time of silence. I wish I had an answer for you, but the one thing I have learned about T, is that it is very unpredictable and it does what it wants to do. I hope your feeling better. Eloy
