Hello,
I'm going to tell you my story with tinnitus.
I am 30 years old, I live in France. I have had tinnitus in my left ear for 8 years, very mild tinnitus. A wind noise. It was brought on because I work in a noisy environment (school).
August 2020: I was taking care of my garden. I made the mistake of passing the brush cutter without hearing protection... after I finished passing the brush cutter I had cotton ears.
Three days later the wind noise in my left ear increased, and acute tinnitus started in my right ear.
I quickly went to see an ENT specialist. I had an audiogram and everything was OK. He prescribed me Piracetam for one month.
The tinnitus in the right ear bothered me a lot, I couldn't concentrate, I had trouble falling asleep. My nerves were on edge.
Six months later, I noticed that the tinnitus was slowly getting better and better, it became more discreet. I could fall asleep again quite easily.
10 months later, it continues to improve, my tinnitus is still present but the tone has changed, the intensity too. I went from a tinnitus that I could not forget, even with the TV on, to a tinnitus that I notice much less; I notice it when I fall asleep, and in quiet places.
Keep hope friends, it is difficult to manage emotionally at the beginning but little by little you get used to it.
I would like to point out that for several months I tried Ginkgo biloba, but I don't know if it had an impact on the tinnitus.
How is it possible that tinnitus improves? I thought that hair cells in the ear do not repair themselves in humans.
Do you think it will continue to get better or have I reached a point where I can't get any better?
Sorry for my English, I hope you will understand me.
Kind regards.
