I got the report from the CT scan I had on Tuesday. It was similar to the report I got last March. Apparently I have a hole in the bone above my middle ear from what I understand.

I had an acoustic trauma event where I was exposed to a hammer striking metal for about 5 minutes. This put me into a medium tinnitus and hyperacusis situation for about 1 month, after that, my tinnitus was mild enough to be able to cope with. THEN, only 1 day later, I was fixing a 250 watt stereo and someone pushed a button on the remote while my ear was next to the speaker and wham! 130DB of white noise to the ear that was 2" from the speaker!
Now my tinnitus is loud and hyperacusis is really bad. So my question is this: Should I start counting my potential recovery time from the 1st event or second event? I am 2 months out from 1st event and 1 month out from the 2nd event. Thank you kindly everyone

Is tinnitus common?
After hundreds and hundreds of hours of research my
unwavering opinion is that tinnitus is NOT caused by hearing
damage; it's underlying cause is a neural gating deficit.
Hearing damage (amongst other things) may result in lower
upstream voltages consequently exposing the deficient gate
and causing tinnitus. Ergo, fixing hearing damage may
also, curiously, lower tinnitus. But if you actually want to cure
tinnitus you need to address the underlying deficiency at the
neural gate.
