7mo update: Same as last month, 2/10-5/10 high pitched hissing. I no longer think about it except in the car with the windows up and when trying to sleep. I’m no longer suicidal over it and haven’t been for the last 2 months, but I still hope it continues to fade.

6mo update: Same as last month

5mo update: Mid ring 99% gone, only comes back for a few mins every few days. Now just high hiss that fluctuates in vol from 2/10 - 6/10

I see. I usually hear mine the entire day. Mine started from noise at a concert.

I initially had three tones: a low-pitched hum, a mid-pitched ringing, and a high-pitched hiss. When I first got tinnitus 5 months ago, it was mainly the mid-pitched ringing. It seemed to come directly from my ears, and I noticed it was especially loud when I pressed my ears against pillows...

My only tone now is a high hiss but it sometimes can be a REALLY loud hiss. Better than a ringing but still sucks.

Thankful that I mostly only have 1 tone left (mid and low only pop up for a few mins every few days) but it fluctuates in volume HARD

Mid ring came back for 2 days, then faded. It’s been a week since. Mostly only have high hiss now.

4mo update: I think 2 of my 3 tones are fading. I had a high hiss, mid ring, and low “woo”. Barely have last 2 now, hiss still strong though

Something that’s helped me is collecting screenshots of success stories. Whenever I feel a panic attack coming on or start feeling suicidal, I open that folder and re-read the main parts I cropped. Another thing that helps me is listening to artists who have tinnitus. I grew up listening to...

That may be true, but I’m having so much difficulty coping that, for now, I feel like I need to believe it will get better. My boss had tinnitus from a loud explosion in her car during an accident, and she told me it lasted two years before fading completely. She’s gone several years without it...

Yes, I hope so too! The specialist I've gone to has told me several times that tinnitus from a loud event will likely fade; it just might take a very long time. She said three months is barely any time for the body to get over something like this, and I need to stop being so obsessed with trying...

On April 13, 2024, I attended a loud concert and stood near a speaker for over 3 hours. The next morning, I woke up with a middle "eee" tone, a high hiss, and a low hum, all at a 5/10. I didn't think much of it until a week went by. Now, exactly three months have gone by without change. I...
