Tinnitus-Free for 5 Minutes the Morning After a Head CAT Scan

[Stanley Pickle]

First of all, I've had tinnitus since my time in the army, starting in 1981. I was in artillery, so the noise exposure was intense. In 2003, I had a spike that led to a breakdown, leaving me chronically fatigued. I slept through most of 2003 because of tinnitus.

In February 2024, I developed pulsating tinnitus that was unbearable. They gave me a CAT scan, which was 30 minutes of intense BOOM BOOM BOOM in my head. The next day, when I woke up, it was the first time in 30 years that I didn't hear any ringing in my ears—there was complete silence!

I prayed to God, thanking Him for this incredible silence. But almost as soon as I felt grateful for the quiet, the ringing started again. AGGGH! How is it possible that I was ringing-free for five minutes, only for it to return?

Nobody knows.

Damaged hair cells in shock due to noise exposure from a CAT scan?

In a few days, you should have a clearer understanding of the outcome related to your tinnitus.

I'm an Army veteran that has tinnitus from loud noise exposure and nobody has any solutions for me.

The thought that nobody has any solutions is unacceptable to me. If we can send a rocket to the Moon, we can figure this out.

They are two distinct challenges. The first can be addressed with an understanding of rocket science, gravity, and the nature of empty space.

The second, however, remains essentially unsolvable (for now) due to the limited knowledge about the lack of a healing mechanism in the inner ear.
