Hello everyone,
I'm Robert and I will share my T experience, it started last Oct. 10, 2017 it was in my workplace as I used sandblast machine, portable drill, and other noisy portable everyday Monday to Friday without using ear plugs that triggers noise in my both ears, at first i'm using earplugs but when I got infection in my ears I stop it. so I went to my doctor and she gave me nasal spray and ear drops for my infections after a week my ear infection is gone but the noise is still there, so I ask my doctor to refer me Ent specialist, they got my hearing test and we talked the doctor and he game me nothing but only advices of how to avoid so much noise so that it wont made my t worse .
For the couple of weeks of my T it was mild and there's no problem with my sleeping but after a month the noise got louder and I realised that when I am in walking at park there's an airplane pass by that I didn't wear any protection during that time because I don't have any idea yet so I ask my doctor for the sleeping aid I take melatonin 3 mg before bed so for the 5 weeks of good night sleep but after that I experience headache so I decided to stop it since my t back to baseline.
So I got a good night sleep within 10 days of not taking melatonin but when I attended a Christmas party with my wife and friends and wearing my earplugs , since there's a game so some are shouting, also there's a background music so my t got louder again so I'm trying not to take melatonin because I'm scared of the side effects that cause my headache, 3 days I got sleep only 2 to 3 hours only so I decided and no choice but to take again the melatonin until now for almost a week and I got a mild headache for now.
Since then I always prayed and ask the lord to give me strength on how to deal with and accept for having tinnitus
so good luck guys.
Thanks.
