Hey guys, on June 26th I first introduced myself to the forum, writing about myself while hearing a mild - yet noticeable - "eeeeee" sound in my head. Mostly affected me when in silence; ironically funny word that isn't it? Even when taking to friends - I would rather focus on that fucking noise than listen to my mates story... What an idiot I was.
My tinnitus was noise induced, it started two weeks before I introduced myself on this lovely forum full of you lovely, strong individuals. So a month and a bit, it's gone. However, I can notice it at times like now; since I'm attempting to involuntary think about it, but that's normal since everyone (EVERYONE) has a noise if they merely focus on it. Just like when you focus on the cracking noise you make when you yawn, or how you can see tiny particles when you look at things in your peripheral vision.
What healed me? Purchase my miracle DVD-... I'm kidding. But seriously, two things. Occupy your mind and rely on time - don't research or dwell on it. There are more people than you think who are cured, but the last thing they want to do is return to this forum. I decided to, because I generally want to give back and trust me, there is hope. It WILL get better, it'll disappear or fade greatly to the point where it's not noticeable. Don't fucking fight it, it's like trying to dig out of a prison with a toothpick; just doesn't work. Keep in mind; it was mild, but painful; gave me headaches most days. I no longer go to clubs without my small, foam earbuds. Because this community acknowledges how fucking delicate hearing is, compared to those clueless monkies you see at clubs beside the amp.
At work a couple weeks ago. there was a free hearing test van which tested customers or employees (me) hearing. I got my hearing checked from a brief test and no hearing loss at all numerous frequencies. I spoke nervously to the people running it that I had mild tinnitus. The old lady says she has it when she wants to notice it and states it's completely normal if under stress and anxiety, which I have and I assume a lot of you do. Also keep in mind; at that time at work, I knew my tinnitus was gone by that point. And what they told me made me over the moon and happy.
What is silence like now it's gone for me? Not as great as you thino so don't worry. I don't really know what to say but just don't fight it, rely on time, protect your ears and do not dwell on it, research it, read horror stories or even follow this forum to be honest.
For you with more severe cases of tinnitus, you guys are inspirations and amazing, just learn to live with it and accept it and habituating the noise is just as good as it being gone, because silence isn't as great as it seems. Habituate to the point where you don't notice it, because it's possible.
This is the last time I'll come on this forum to be honest. This may come to ease some of you, or not, but thank you, good luck and good bye!
It will get better.
