    17 Years Old, Unknown Cause, I Woke Up with a Loud Ringing in My Left Ear

    Hello everyone, So it’s 2:31 AM right now and I’m terrified. I recently recovered from my left ear ringing for about 1 1/2 months, and now my right ear has inexplicably started to ring loudly. Before, my left ear was just a hissing sound, but has faded away. Now my right ear started ringing...

    MRI Update! Hello everyone, I finally got my MRI done today and I got some results back already, thought it could take some time for further interpretation. I have no idea what these results could suggest, but there does seem to be some sort of connection with my tinnitus? I’ll most likely...

    Thanks for the info! I actually can’t rule out what could’ve caused this. I work in a pretty loud environment so maybe there’s that. I’m also a weightlifter so perhaps something there too.

    I have actually completely stopped using my AirPods and my headset when gaming. And when I go to work I wear some earplugs to avoid making it worse. I appreciate the reply, thank you <3

    Hello there, I heard about this site on Reddit and I was a bit skeptical at first, but reading everyone’s stories and similarities made me feel comfortable enough to create my own account. Anyhoo, my tinnitus started on January 24th, 2021. I woke up that morning with a loud ringing sound in...
