    2 Weeks with Tinnitus Caused by Headphones (Loud Music) — Many Sleepless Nights

    In car rides I'm able to usually ignore it due to the background noises, I wouldn't say it's that bad fortunately. I'm no longer required in class due to study leave, so I have been making the most of my time surrounding myself with as much white noise as possible which I think has helped me...

    2 Weeks with Tinnitus Caused by Headphones (Loud Music) — Many Sleepless Nights

    It was a few seconds, before I asked them to turn it down. As I'm writing this the left ear seems to have lowered a bit thankfully. If things continue like this I may also have to ask for antidepressants or something too. The thing is I have my exams during this time period, very ironic I...

    2 Weeks with Tinnitus Caused by Headphones (Loud Music) — Many Sleepless Nights

    This puts me at ease even a little bit, thank you. I know I shouldn't focus on whether the ringing will leave or not, but so far I've found it hard to cope with. It's unfortunate that the starting stages of tinnitus are so tough, there is barely any actual support :( It really puts these sorts...

    2 Weeks with Tinnitus Caused by Headphones (Loud Music) — Many Sleepless Nights

    Thank you for the advice, I have read some of your articles prior and am taking it on. I'm definitely quitting using headphones for the time being and won't be using medications unless a GP tells me to do so, though I'll look for alternatives anyway. I've decided to buy a white noise machine...

In the above update I've noted that now the volume has changed - earlier today my right ear was louder, but now it is my left and it's even more intolerable. Thank you for your concern...

    2 Weeks with Tinnitus Caused by Headphones (Loud Music) — Many Sleepless Nights

    I know it hasn't been long since I've posted this, but my tinnitus has seemed to spike. The quiet ringing in my left ear has suddenly become much louder, louder than my right ear. :( It was completely fine the whole day (quiet enough for me to be able to ignore it, though my right ear...

    2 Weeks with Tinnitus Caused by Headphones (Loud Music) — Many Sleepless Nights

    Hi @CC_16, I haven't tried any kind of medication yet. I'm putting them off unless I get a prescription from the GP since I'm worried about the side effects. I may look into it further after doing some research though, thanks for the suggestion! :)

    2 Weeks with Tinnitus Caused by Headphones (Loud Music) — Many Sleepless Nights

    Hi, introducing myself here I suppose out of desperation! I've had unbearable tinnitus for the past 2 weeks and I wanted to reach out in a space more knowledgeable than I am. I am only 18 and I admit I have been very irresponsible when looking after my hearing. I usually listen to music through...
