Tinnitus Went Away for Three Weeks While on Vacation

[Nick M]

I went to a foreign country last year in July and during the three week period, I had no tinnitus. My tinnitus started again when I landed back in the US. It was a very undeveloped country.

Could it be due to reduction of stress or maybe electromagnetic pollution? Is there a large Faraday cage I could go in for a day or two to test this hypothesis? Maybe our brains are sensitive to this invisible energy.

Very obvious yours is stress induced tinnitus.

I also have stress induced tinnitus, and mine tends to go away when I'm out with folks enjoying myself. It also seems to fade for months/years after the periods of stress pass.

Another idea: Altitude.

Maybe your tinnitus behaves differently if you are at sea level or at the top of a mountain.

Another day I did read one poster telling that his tinnitus used to disappear when he was at the beach. I would check that.

Maybe different altitude/barometer? My tinnitus usually becomes louder before it rains.

Was it more humid compared to where you are in the US?

Also did it disappear immediately after landing? Or was it like the next day after waking up?

Yes this is interesting question - also on your way back were you thinking about tinitus and its possible returm?
