@El BUZZ, I'm answering your post here since it's a long one and people don't like that in the photo thread.
@El BUZZ, sorry about your trip to the restaurant...
Let me guess, it was one of those tiny places filled with locals in all age groups discussing heavily while kids run around after bed time and the waiters bangs and steams that coffee machine 5 metres away?
You need to start going to those expensive boring tourist restaurants with no guests and old food
I probably shouldn't have mentioned the blow to head cure since it might not be true. I only slept 2 hours last night and 5 hours the night before so bad judgement..
Anyways the story told by someone I know but originally from the internet:
A rough old Alaska man who had lived half his life with tinnitus was driving his snowmobile and had an accident where he hit his head hard
He had to go to hospital to get stitches for his head, but his tinnitus stopped!
The other story unfortunately is my own.. After a very bad setback I was so frustrated in bed that I hit my forehead over my left eye. The left ear (my good ear that was starting to get infected from the bad ear) immediately became very loud. It stayed that way for 6-8 weeks before calming down.
I now have 3 permanent tinnitus tones in that ear, but I doubt the knock on the head did much difference long term (I had some short periods of silence a couple months later. Then out of the blue another year later, the 2 last tones arrived.)
Try to be super vigilant the next month or two, hopefully your ears calm down.
Hugs!
