Thanks Joe. Antibiotics might have contributed, but it only started to really improve after I started the neck exercises. The one that helped me most: keep your chin to your breast and slowly move your head to the left. Hold it there for 30 seconds, feeling the stretch and breathing in and out...

Exactly four months in today, and my tinnitus has decreased a lot lately. Improvements have been going a lot faster the last two weeks than any moment before. Not sure what caused the rapid decrease of noise. What definitely helped a lot was doing neck exercises (I use the OTO app for that)...

Thanks! The OTO app is quite expensive, but I think it’s worth the investment ;) I hope you get some results anytime soon!

Hi @Pauli, Your story sounds familiar and the last few sentences are so absolutely true. I also have tinnitus following an acoustic trauma (concert) this summer. After I started doing exercises for my neck (with the OTO app, big recommendation), the noise decreased hugely. I would never have...

So I finally saw an ENT this morning. Where I expected something like “learn to live with”, things went slightly different. While inspecting my ears, she noticed an inflammation in the right middle ear. After some more tests she concluded that my current buzzing/ringing is mostly caused by the...

I’m also slowly coming to terms it might not go away completely (almost 3 months in). At the same time I’ve talked to so many people (family, colleagues) that completely habituated to tinnitus, that I try not to worry too much. Their lives are literally exactly the same as before tinnitus, so...

Hi Matilda, I think there’s no harm in going when wearing earplugs. I’m literally in the same situation as you are (went to a way too loud concert end of August) and I’m slowly starting to pick up my social life (going to the pub with friends, having dinner in restaurants etc.) and it didn’t...

Thanks for the kind words! :)

Quick update. Last month a lot happened (my dad suddenly died, which caused a big spike for a few days) and at this point the progress of recovery seems to be stagnating. It still feels better than it did at the start, but it hasn't changed a lot the last weeks. Mornings seem to be the best...

Thanks for your encouraging words! :)

Thank you. Well, next time I'll definitely wear earplugs when I go to a potentially loud place. Ironically the week after I had my 'incident' tinnitus, it got a lot of media attention in the Netherlands with ENTs warning about the enormous amount of teens and kids diagnosed with it. There's a...

Thanks! Seems like you're also only still a few months in. Wish you all the best as well!

Hi all, I've been lurking around for a few weeks on Tinnitus Talk already, so I thought it might be time to actually join now ;) Long story short: I got tinnitus at an outdoor concert (the Danish DJ Trentemøller) on the 27th of August, so about a month ago. Normally I always wear earplugs but...
