- Noise induced after 40mins in a bar
Hi everyone,
I've been dealing with (mild) tinnitus for exactly five weeks now. Dealing with it has been hard, as I am still in the depressed and panick-stage.
Reading all the positive/success stories has been really helpful,
I decided, for this reason, to post my friends success story in the hopes it might give other people hope.
My friend recovered from noise induced tinnitus twice. The first time was acoustic trauma because of a gunshot that went off next to his ear while he was in the army. It took hime a few months for the tinnitus to completely fade to 0%.
The second time was after a concert where he played the drums in 2013. He felt physical pain during the concert and afterwards had trouble hearing for a few weeks. After a few months the tinnitus, again, dissapeared. This time not a 100%, but he only hears it if he searches for it and says he can hear silence. Meaning it went down in volume incredibly, since it was really loud the first few weeks.
During one of my panick attacks I called a person at a helpline - not a specific tinnitus helpline, just a regular one. This person told me that 3 of her friends went to a rock concert and all three of them developed tinnitus directly afterwards. It took 2-3 months for it to fade away completely and they now don't have it anymore.
I also called with a tinnitus helpline. The lady on the phone told me that a lot of people call her during the first few weeks - same as me - but that for most of them, the noise induced tinnitus after acoustic trauma, such as a concert or gunshot, it went away completely within 6 months and the body just needs time to either heal or get used to the new way the brain is wired.
She gave me advice to not visit any more of these forums, because it makes the tinnitus 'grow', because I give it attention. I could'nt help but still log onto the forum to write this post. Hopefully very soon I can write my own success story.
Good luck to you all and stay strong.
