I’m experiencing the exact same issue as you, and people have called me insane! I developed tinnitus in December 2024 after a strange series of events. I used to work in a factory and always wore earplugs and earmuffs together. But one day, I wore only earmuffs, and my tinnitus seemed to start...

Did you experience pain during those ascents and descents? And did removing the earcups relieve that pain?

I developed tinnitus in December 2024, and ever since, I’ve mostly stayed indoors. In my left ear, it sounds like the hum of crickets. I’ve noticed an interesting change. Between mid-December 2024 and mid-January 2025, I was mostly active at night. Because of that, I kept my computer speakers...

I need to travel soon, and I have reactive tinnitus. I’m trying to decide between a 1.5-hour flight and a two-day train ride. Two days on a train seems excruciating! I know the interior of a passenger train is quieter than that of an airplane, but there will still be a constant drone of noise...

It’s the same for me. My baseline sounds like cicadas. My tinnitus seemed to have started after a noisy day at work in a factory. That day, I was only using earmuffs for protection, whereas I normally use both earplugs and earmuffs. Unfortunately, I didn’t have earplugs with me that day. What...

I'm in the same situation as you. What does your tinnitus sound like at its baseline?

I am starting to wonder if it is my imagination causing all this or if it is really possible. Recently, I had to go down to my house's basement to use the washing machine. The basement is also where the boiler is located. It is a residential boiler, but it is not state of the art or anything...

Hi Thomas, I read that you developed tinnitus after DJing at a private party for just one hour without wearing earplugs. I’ve never DJed before, but I’m curious—do DJs experience significantly louder sound levels in the DJ booth compared to what the audience hears? Even in a private party...

I have been experiencing tinnitus for almost a month, and it began after a very unusual series of events. I will explain everything as specifically as possible, detailing which ear was affected during each incident. About a month ago, I visited a hospital because I had chewing gum stuck in both...

Mineral oil.

Did something specific happen that caused those two additional tones to appear, or did they start on their own?

I developed tinnitus earlier this month. I am still unsure of the exact cause, but it might be related to my job. I work in a factory with loud machinery. I do wear hearing protection, including earplugs and earmuffs, but it is not always ideal. My doctor also mentioned that I had excess earwax...

I have seen those, but I didn't think they would be good for blocking out sound. They mostly advertise those as just being something to keep water out. Thank you for your reply! Are you saying I should avoid all noisy areas for the next three months? Is that the only time frame during which...

I developed tinnitus a little over two weeks ago and am still unsure of the cause, though I have some ideas: Job-related noise: I've been working in a factory for a month. The environment includes loud industrial fans and grinders. From the first day, I've worn foam earplugs and earmuffs...
