    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.

    Unilateral Tinnitus After Shooting without Hearing Protection

    Hey, man. I went through a SEVERE episode of tinnitus, hearing loss, and noise sensitivity because of gunfire. At first, I dropped about 60 dB. Now, I’m at about 25 dB loss in high frequencies. I still have a bit of noise sensitivity and hearing loss, but that’s gotten better, thank God! Don’t...

    Thank you brother. I will pray for you also. I think you will be fine. I went through so much acute acoustic trauma that night... over an hour of non-stop gunfire with high-caliber rifles. By the end of it my hearing was horrible, and tinnitus was insanely loud. Now I still have high frequency...

    AK-47 is extremely loud. I was around 700 rounds of one of those guns without hearing protection. I kid you not, I went through so much acoustic trauma. It’s been 3 months, my left ear is completely dead to high frequencies. I have loud tinnitus. I’m 24 and honestly I just threw my life...

    Moderate Hearing Loss, Tinnitus and Hyperacusis from Shooting Guns (AR-15, AK-47, Shotgun, Pistol)

    I wish I could be dead. I’m not okay with the idea of living like this forever. I’m 24 and my whole world got flipped upside down. I want to commit suicide. I can’t handle being hard of hearing. I messed up so bad.

    Moderate Hearing Loss, Tinnitus and Hyperacusis from Shooting Guns (AR-15, AK-47, Shotgun, Pistol)

    I’m so happy it’s improved so much since day 1. Still not 100%. I really pray for that. It’s still noticeably there and disturbs me a lot. Yes, left is blue and my tinnitus is louder in that ear (I also have tinnitus in my right ear).

    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
