Overall my tinnitus has gotten quite a bit better (either that or I have gotten better at dealing with it). I hear it in both ears. Since the initial onset, the tinnitus has been going up and down mainly because I seem to get sick a lot and when I am sick it gets worse but then it goes back...

Hello. First off I want to say that I don't think my tinnitus is that bad. I can go to sleep without masking it without a problem. The problem occurs when there is background noise and I try to focus on the tinnitus. When I do that it feels like I can't really pick up on it and it feels likes...

They told me that I need to call on the 10th to book an appointment but the appointment itself will like be later in the month. I was honest with the ENT. I told him that I don't think my hearing is worse, just that my tinnitus feels more intrusive and that when I blow my ear drums it feels like...

A second opinion would be good but the problem is that in my small provincial town he is the only ENT. There will be some other ENT who is also a Professor who will be visiting but they told me that I needed to call after the 10th to book an appointment. The tinnitus itself is doing better I...

He didn't. He only looked at my eardrum. He told me that the same thing happened to him a long time ago and that he also has some tinnitus because of it. My tinnitus is doing a little better I think, knock on wood. One of them is a vitamin and the other one is Betahistine.

He looked at my ear drum and told me it was fine and if any damage had been done it would have been to the hearing nerve and nothing could be done about that.

I went to him. He didn't prescribe me steroids. He prescribed me some supplements.

@billie48, this post really is a gem. Today a firecracker blew up 5 meters away from me and might have caused hearing loss. Will know for sure tomorrow but right now I am really depressed and this made me a little happy when I read it.

Trying to not let depression get me.

Today a firecracker blew up about 5 metres away from me. I was clustered with a group of 20 other students in front of school and someone lit up a firecracker out of nowhere and it blew up without most of us knowing it was lit. At first I didn't feel anything so I didn't go to an ENT but now the...

I will try to.

Thank you for the kind words. My family doesn't know how much I am struggling as I try to keep my complaining to a minimum.

I know a person isn't supposed to have these thoughts. It's just that I don't see a way out of my current predicament.

And if that something doesn't happen?

Thanks for the cheerful response! You don't come off as unempathetic at all! It's just it keeps getting worse and when I am used to it being at one level it becomes harder to ignore.

For a month and a half.

Yesterday everything was somewhat fine. I went out with friends, did some studying, spent some time with my family and wasn't really bothered by the tinnitus despite hearing it most of the time. Then when I tried to go to bed that night everything started going downhill. I just couldn't stop...

Thank you for the response! Really need some positivity right now.

It just keeps getting worse. Every week there is something that just causes it to go worse. It gets louder. New sounds are added. I can hear it over anything. I just want to bury myself into the ground and not feel anymore. I quit.

My tinnitus hasn't been changed by the vaccine.

Hi y'all. I am sure that I am not going to say anything new but I just want to voice my frustrations to some people who will (hopefully) listen. So I am currently year 12 in high school (a senior if I am not mistaken) and as every kid about to graduate high school I have a few important life...

Today my tinnitus has fluctuated a lot. In the morning and afternoon it was really quiet and didn't bother me but right now at around 8 p.m. I feel like I can hear even if I am in a loud room. I am guessing that it's because I am way more stressed and because I am actively searching for it but I...

I will try to do that.

So I shouldn't be worried?

Hey people. I have had tinnitus for some 20 days now. I was doing quite well until 2 days ago and when my tinnitus really spiked and now it is a lot more pronounced. It has been like that until this very moment in which I am writing this message. It all started because of a cold which has...

Wow to say that I am speechless would be putting it mildly! What you have written really fills me up with hope and energy. I will try to push through this!

Thank you for the encouragement! It means a lot to me right now!

Hey again Michael. I will stop asking this question but I needed a little bit of reasurance today so I decided to ask it again.

Hello everyone. I'd say I am pretty new to tinnitus as I have only had it for 2 weeks. I suppose it isn't that bad as I mostly notice it when I am in a silent room but it does still get me down. My question is: how feasible is it to pursue a college education for someone with tinnitus? I...

Hey Michael. I read the posts you mentioned. The part that left the biggest impression on me was the part where you mentioned a math teacher who was certain that his life is over but later told you that was doing well. I could really imagine myself in the same state of mind. I have a question...

Thanks for the reply! Could I ask you a question. How can someone with tinnitus live a normal life and achieve their goals? Or is that impossible?

Hello there everybody. This is my first post here so if you allow me I would like to give some information about me and my tinnitus (mostly about the tinnitus). I am 18 and I first started experiencing tinnitus a week and a half ago. I went to an ENT and he gave me a spray for my sinuses...
