Hi everyone, I've had tinnitus for just over a month now (33 days), it happened suddenly, no reason in particular and on top of it had to be loud!
What is loud for me? Well, when in a quiet room, 13 dB of silence it becomes very annoying. I need to need put the tele fairly high, concentrate not hear the bugger. When driving, with the window up, I hear my it buzzing at lower volume, but when with the windows down, I can still notice it but obviously a lot less.... Going for a coffee I can hear my companion buzzing right next to me. Can't hear it having a shower. When having a conversation I forget I have it.
Mine apparently suddenly appeared going through one of the most stressful periods of my life. No hearing loss, no hyperacusis, nothing, but what I read on internet, that people who suddenly get loud tinnitus, may have it loud permanently. Now, what do they mean by may? How many of you out there got it suddenly for no reason, and did, or did not get any better? (This doesn't count for those who went to a concert or any other condition). If so, how long was it till the volume suddenly went lower?
I'm still at the early stages, and I know anything can happen still... But I just need info just to get prepared mentally for the worst case scenario.
I apologise for my crappy English, I've been living in Spain for too long....:/
