- Noise-induced
Almost 4 weeks ago I was given noise induced tinnitus by a stranger. Since then I've been careful protecting my ear with an earplug around loudness but I screwed up last night! A 2 1/2 yr old child was being loud - not screaming but almost yelling - and I didn't protect my ear! (It went on for a minute or so) I had the wrong musician's earplug in, but it wasn't even in all the way. I think it may have reduced no more than 10 decibels.
Today the T is louder and even higher pitched. I'm so freaked out and scared. Just to mention also I have had head & ear congestion the past few days...don't know if that has made my ear even more sensitive...?
For those of you with acoustic trauma T, have you had an increase go back down? I'm dying here... seriously since this has happened my life has felt like a surreal nightmare. Please tell me there is some hope that this is just a temporary spike... Have you had spikes go back down and how long did it take?
