Hello, im 21 and i have tinnitus for about 1,5 month. Im not native english and i dont write in english very often, so excuse me missuse of words or so.
I ´ve already read some posts that encouraged me, so thank you all for doing all is.
And this is my short experience wih T.
My T appeard after 4 stressful months, in which i was also recording drums and loud electric guitars, loud in headphones, with band i (probably used to) play.
Firstly i noticed that i have T when i was trying to fall asleep on collage. My roommate is using charger that produces awful sounds so i asked him to plug it off the circuit. But some of the ringing stayed in my right ear. The other day i was reading something about that ringing and i became frightened by that. But fortunately i was able to live normal live, like nothing happens, for a month. Firstly i thought it would disappear so i was waiting about 3 week before going to doctor. After week it looked like its fading but it came back. Doctors gave me standard treatment, at least here in Slovakia - 5 days in hospital taking infusions that should enlarge my veins to get more blood to the ear. First 3 days were good, but then came 2 days where i got nothing to do and... Well bad thoughts came and i somehow let them overwhelm me. Treatment also somehow raised the pitch of my T. When i left hospital i was okay but felt like another person. I felt like not in my skin, now i know it was weak form of sinusitisis. I went to collage and there started another health problems. I got huge back pain, so i couldnt sleep that night. The other night i got home and also got reflux and from that pain behind my sterno. I thought that were some side effects from treatment. Then i had some anxiety attacks, what couls this be. So at night i went to hospital again, doctor told me it is from backpain and stress caused by T. So i went home. Another few days i slept bad, getting up on strong pain, headache and so... When back pain gone i thought it was okay, i also managed to sleep 5 without waking up. Another day i was preparing for exam, so i became stressed and that minor stomach problems i also had became more serious and another night (yesterday night) i had no sleep and reflux again. Yesterday was again bad day, but tried to do the most what could be done to finslly fall asleep and take at least 6 hours of continuous sleep. I was exercising - just running and some push ups, also some exercises for stretching back, i took all the vitamins, drink herbal tees against stresss against reflux, for good sleep. Also have bought special matress. But almost no sleep, i was little unconscius maybe 30mins. I realized that the only reason why i cant sleep is T. At 3 am i downloaded that album of masking sounds, you are sending on mail. Shower works for me the best. Then i had about 2 hours of good rest while masking T. This night i realized that I got T in the other ear also , at least it is quieter, also im starting to belive that T in right ear got worse after the treatment, but maybe its just that huge lack of sleep and stress i have and been through. Both Ts are little better now, not as pulsative and broad, wide... Dont know how to describe it. And now i 9:37 and im finishing this thread.
How long will i be unable to sleep? How long could i not damage myself becase of that insomnia? How long does this period of anxiety, no sleep because of T last? When do i get used to?
This week im gonna rest nbut i dont know how long could let study be and just dont do anything before i would have to interup my studyies In 1 month semester is finishing and i have to take lot of exams until end. School is in other city, where i live in dorm - lots of students, night noises and another stressful factors.
Is it safe to listen masking tracks all the night on headphones, volume just about to mask T but i hear it a little bit.
Thanks for reading my story.
