Hello, I'm new here. Just want to say hello and share my story.
My tinnitus started last Wednesday on 9/1/2021. I got mad at my father and got so pissed off that I grabbed my 9mm gun and shot off 10 quick rounds into our gun pit. I then threw the gun on the ground and ran to my room to chill out. I am 29 by the way. I know, it sounds young and dumb. It was very dumb and I regret it. I have a lot of dislike for my father and his ways.
But back to the story. After that I had really high pitched ringing and swollen ear in only my left side.
After about 2 days the tinnitus definitely diminished a bit. It's been almost a week now and I still get some pain in my left ear. And the ringing is very noticeable at night and sometimes during the day. White noise like my A/C turning on at night seems to irritate it a bit.
Does anyone know if it will be permanent or not? I am to see an ENT tomorrow.
I don't know how to cope with this if it's permanent. I'm already really depressed from it and just want it to go away.
