Have you done anything different lately? I also had pain in my right ear for 6-9 months and it gradually faded away. I hope for you that it gets better!

Hi @ErikaS, it will get better, the first 3-5 months I slept maybe 1-2 hours a night waking up every 20 minutes, covered in sweat, it was crazy, my anxiety was so high. Don't know how I survived haha. Just try to rest and sleep if possible. Now I just take 1mg Melatonin and I will try to come...

Ohh okay that's cool, all the way in the north haha. I'm sorry this happened to you. I also had a lot of stress bc of my university exams but who knows? How are you doing now ? I saw that you joined TinnitusTalk in 2014 ?!

How did your tinnitus start? And where do you come from in Germany. I was born in wiesbaden and live now in the French speaking part of Switzerland :)

I don't know if it was medication that caused my tinnitus but I was taking a cocktail of ritalin, sleeping pills (Zopiclone) and a lot of pain killers. I also did my booster 1-2 weeks before my tinnitus started, I don't know. Maybe an accumulation of everything :/

These last few days have been difficult, my tinnitus is more reactive again, it is so exhausting. I have anxiety phases about my professional future. I decided to take a year off to learn how to manage my problems and "habituate ?" so no classes at the moment. Wow, that's such a cool job, how is...

Hi @Joe Cuber, I still don't know exactly what "habituation" is, but yes, I'm much better better. The last few days have been brutal but I feel like my spike is going down again. Ohh that's awesome, what field do you work in? I wish you all the best !!!

It will get better. Every time I'm sick my Tinnitus is 2-3 times louder but it goes back to my baseline after a few days

Hi @Joe Cuber, thanks so much for asking, sorry for the late reply. I am avoiding as best I can any content related to tinnitus. I'm "fine" I guess... My tinnitus is still a pain in the ass but I guess I live better with it? In the evening it's still very difficult but I sleep better. So overall...

I'm not going to lie to you, that semester was really extremely difficult but as time went on, it got better and I passed my exams... You, unlike me, have had tinnitus for a while now so it's not all new to you. I still have at least 4 years of study left. I wish you all the best and hope you do...

I'm sure it will be fine. Only time can help us. My tinnitus started at the beginning of my 4th semester and for the first two months I was not functioning at all. I was falling way behind, absolutely sleep-deprived, and watching my dream of becoming a doctor burn away. 1/2

Personally I finished my second year of med school and I am so anxious about my future... My tinnitus makes my life so difficult and especially my studies. My ability to concentrate has evaporated...

Hi @SamRosemary, my internship at the hospital started on 1st of August. I got sick the first week and my tinnitus spiked and I was doing pretty bad. I'm better now... Working in the hospital is my favorite part of the day, I am distracted and I think less about my tinnitus. What does level 3...

Thank you so much @BrOKeN_1. You are right. It got a little bit better. I hope I return to my baseline

Thank you very much everyone. Thank you very much for all the support over the last few months. Tinnitus is still annoying on a daily basis but I am already SOOOO much better than I was 6 months ago. I love you all <3

Man that's awesome, I love your mindset and attitude

<3

I can only confirm what @blamingeverything said. I'm 5 months in and I still struggle but i'm in a much, MUCH better place than in the first 2-3 months. I had really dark thoughts and I think the only thing that kept me alive was my mother, I cried every day endlessly thinking my life was over...

I am already proud of the progress i made. The first three months I was extremely suicidal, never was before, and today I don't have such dark thoughts at all but daily life is still such a pain and my exams stress me SO much. I know you understand the struggle. I was talking about my family and...

But thank you all so much, I hope you are right and that everything will end up « well ». It's just so frustrating to see everyone around you moving on with life and nobody takes me serious with my Tinnitus

@Joe Cuber What scares me the most are my studies. I was so happy, I was doing so well and now I couldn't even take all my exams. I have always lived and fought for these studies and everything was stolen from me. I'm afraid I won't be able to do it, even in a year. My ability to concentrate is...

@Ken219 I'm not sure, I did the booster two weeks before the onset and I was taking medication that may be ototoxic, I didn't necessarily need any of that

Glad to hear from you! I'm sorry that it hasn't gotten better yet but I believe in you and an improvement! I pray for you and wish you all the best! For my part it is already a little better but life is not at all what it was

Und Danke für den Tipp mit dem Buch, ich schaue mir das dann mal während den Sommerferien an :)

Vielen lieben Dank für deine Antwort. Das hört sich ja super an. Ich bin auch am studieren. Es fällt mir halt noch sehr schwer mich zu konzentrieren, wie schaffst du es? Es ist jetzt schon besser als am Anfang aber immer noch sehr schwierig. Ich habe extremst Angst, dass ich mein Studium wegen...

Oh wow, this song is definitely special and interesting, thank you for sharing it :)

Yeah, that's true. Her brother is a famous singer too and he also made a song about his Tinnitus. I live in a French speaking region and a lot of my friends already knew about Tinnitus because of this song and they recommanded it to me. Do you know if there is any song about Tinnitus in the...

Yeah, when I first heard it I cried. In the beginning I felt so alone with this condition and also being young, it was good to know that we are not alone. I listened to it non stop during the first 2-3 months knowing she also suffered and is doing pretty good today

Yeah you're totally right. We are all here for the same problem and yet it can be so different for each person. I am also surprised by the diversity of the people affected. It can literally happen to anyone and when it happens it's too late...

Who knows. I hate the fact that most ENTs don't care about Tinnitus. I have to work a month during the summer break at the hospital and I chose the ENT service. I am looking forward for august :) @blamingeverything

Wow, Tinnitus is such a weird condition. Thank you for your feedbacks !

Wow, thank you sooooo much @Steph1710 and @blamingeverything. Your replies really mean a lot to me <3

That's awesome, I really hope I will get to this point of habituation. The best I can do inside right now is not to think about it for like 2-3 minutes. Whole days, that's awesome !!!

Wow, thank you so much for your reply @Stacken77 <3. It gives me hope to see, that other tinnitus sufferers managed to get through university. Congratulations!!! I hope I can write something similar in a few years :)

Ohh thank you very much @Steph1710 <3. I know that you are right and things are going to get better with time but it is still, 5 months in, really difficult to imagine habituation. This forum litteraly saved my life but also created a lot of anxiety reading posts about people not being able to...
