    One Rock Festival Changed My Life by Giving Me Tinnitus

    Apologies, I meant my mind/tinnitus is in fact reacting to noise. Which sucks. But I’m glad to hear you’re doing better. I’ll be seeing a few health professionals over the next 2 months and see what they recommend when I mention reactive tinnitus but till then, I think I’ll try to avoid most...

    One Rock Festival Changed My Life by Giving Me Tinnitus

    I’m thinking you’re right because my mind/tinnitus isn’t reacting to any noise at the moment so maybe sound therapy can wait. Did any medical professional tell you at the time to hold off from sound therapy or is this purely from experience? Sorry to hear you struggled with tinnitus so much...

    @Michael Leigh, do you believe there’s a minimum decibel reading when we should start using earplugs? Should I use them if it’s around 75 dB?

    How exactly did you come across this information? If that’s the case, they’d be false advertising and begging for a lawsuit.

    One Rock Festival Changed My Life by Giving Me Tinnitus

    I guess we do have to take everything said in these forums with a grain of salt. Even advice from hearing professionals can sometimes not benefit us in this case. I was actually also told by a hearing professional to use headphones with calming music to help with habitation but haven't done...

    One Rock Festival Changed My Life by Giving Me Tinnitus

    I’m glad to see that you’re able to go to concerts but for me, I don’t think I ever want to risk it and I’m fine with never going ever again. Honestly that didn’t upset me one bit. Once I’m over the 6 month mark, I’ll begin trying talk therapy and maybe SNRIs like you suggested, thank you. How...

    I think I’ll take on your advice and push the date back so it’s around 6 months from onset.

    Thanks Michael. A friend of mine in the medical field said the exact same thing today so I might cancel that appointment.

    Sorry to hear about your struggle to sleep. Do you eventually sleep? And when you do, is it a good amount and/or uninterrupted? Regarding Lenire, what doesn’t work for someone may work for you so, why not right? I’ve downloaded some apps to help with my tinnitus: Widex Zen tinnitus (sound...

    Update I visited my doctor yesterday and he noticed my drastic weight loss and asked me what was going on. After telling him my story, he checked both my ears and noticed that the left one, the one with tinnitus, was inflamed and prescribed me with a steroid grade nasal spray. I’m kind of...

    Hi @Blackbird1016, I’ve actually found and read your post in the past and just read the whole thread now. I can sympathise with you fully on all fronts and I’m really sorry to hear that you went through such a horrid time at the start and I’m glad you’re in a much better place now. What’s your...

    One Rock Festival Changed My Life by Giving Me Tinnitus

    So far from what I’ve read in these forums, I’d say you’re right. Hoping this at least passes with time as it’s quite distracting and harder to mask. Thank you so much for your response Michael. I’ve seen the amount of responses and threads you’ve contributed to on here and it doesn’t go...

    Hi everyone, I’ve been on Tinnitus Talk for a few weeks and decided to post my story. Before I do, I’d like to thank everyone who shares their stories as it helps us all understand this puzzling disease, it provides some comfort knowing someone else is going through this and hopefully it raises...
