    Unilateral Tinnitus After Shooting without Hearing Protection

    Personally, I didn’t take any medication—just a lot of struggle and prayer through it all. I am much better now, still not 100%, but I’m amazed at how far I’ve come. Keep your head up; I assure you, it gets better.

    I also can relate to having good and bad days as far as hearing and T. Sometimes I’ll feel like it’s worse than other days, but for the most part I’m just grateful I’m not deaf and T is much lower. I’m good & you will be too I truly believe that

    @NL50 You’re going to be fine trust me and trust God on that. At week 3 for me I wanted to vanish this earth. It was so extremely bad. The HL, the T, and hyperacusis was too much for me to tolerate. I still have all symptoms but as I mentioned they have healed.

    I want to upload my audio grams here but don’t know how. Yeah it’s a 30dB loss in high frequencies in left ear. ENT said it’s not bad and I don’t need hearing aids.. maybe this is a mental thing for me? I can hear but it’s not the way I want I guess
