- Likely a minor bleed in my subarachnoid
Hi everyone,
I've had tinnitus for years now following a brain hemorrhage, and over time, I've reached a point where I can almost completely ignore it. It feels like white noise in the background—it's there, but it doesn't bother me, and I only notice it if I actively look for it.
Unfortunately, I made a mistake when I attended a wedding without hearing protection. My ear started to burn during the event, but nothing happened immediately. A few days later, I noticed a strange whine, my first reactive/distorted tone. It reacts to water, white noise, and almost everything else, and I can hear it over all other sounds.
It's really tough. I've never experienced this before, but I know how crucial it is to maintain a positive mindset during this process. I'd love to hear from anyone who has had their reactive tinnitus improve or become unnoticeable. How long did it take for you?
