I feel like I could probably listen to some digital audio every now and then but I'm just so scared to try anything.

Hello - I was wondering if you still have tinnitus and if you were able to find out the cause?
I am in a similar situation to you - I had a FESS left sinus surgery nearly 5 weeks ago and developed tinnitus.
I would be most grateful if you can tell me about your experience and if you have been able to determine the cause and do something about it.
Many thanks

I just hope this horrific tinnitus will come down and I get my hearing back after my ear recovers from infection and the tiny hole ENT decided to do to my eardrum to let the fluid out (was it even necessary, there was only tiny amount) . All the trauma comes to my mind from the beginning of my T. FFS this is my better ear.
I was almost habituated to my T before this flu, ear drum infection BS. It took years. My hearing is so off at the moment, I cant hear, my ear is clogged. There is a tiny hole in my eardrum. Tinnitus is like in the beginning of T but now in my previously better ear.
a cacophony of loud sounds.
I wish I could go back to my previous baseline so bad now... 
Turning in my letter this week. Honestly feeling very relieved and good about leaving this job. I could go into details but it is truly for the best for many reasons.
It's crazy how tinnitus works, huh. Here I am, completely habituated when suddenly it worsens, out of nowhere. I haven't had an acoustic trauma, am not sick, just got slightly worse out of thin air. Oh well, people who say that T worsens no matter what you do are probably right.
i know i haven't been on here in a while, but recently I cracked my neck (becuase of stress) and it burns. the burning is radiating into my face and down my shoudler blades. 1 second of a bad mistake now results in hours of burning and muscle pain.... No effect on my tinnitus though.
Isn't it awesome to get blasted with literally every sound like the whole day. Totally didn't happen to me today, even with earplugs, holy shit, you can't make this shitty luck up...
Realizing who my friends are and who they are not. I can't say I am surprised
Why do we need to suffer so much? What is the point of this stupidity?
What does it mean if my LDL is in the negatives? Also my family had me admitted to a ward after I told them I needed to be in complete silence. My tinnitus is spiking so bad
Will the medication they're putting me on make me worse?
They think it's all in my head but that can't be the case.
I just don't know what to do- my research says silence is the only thing that'll help. I'm so scared and would love advice

is it possible to transplant a cochlea to hear again if so, how?
why does insurance not cover hearing aids there's no reason for them not to only reason is bad reason medical industry truly does not care about general public's health it's all about money sensorineural hearing loss is not being taken seriously so many people suffering omg we need cure urgently asap its not joke so many people kill themselves because of it so we need insurance to cover hearing aids now.
And also ENT did microsuction on top of everything before the procedure. My hearing is so messed up at the moment. Tinnitus is so intolerable in my usually better ear I feel like I cant take it.
My last week has been a nightmare. Terrible flu, eardrum infection, fluid in my ear, eutachian tube issues. ENT had to do a small hole to my eardrum let the fluid out. My tinnitus is bad now in my better ear.
Why are there so few success stories on this forum? I am deeply convinced that there were many here who were able to learn to filter tinnitus. They don't want to come back here and that's their right.
Deciding whether I even want to post a 4 year tinniversary update. Never really thought this would be permanent and ever increasing. Alas
I'm seem to be doing better while trying a 6 day tapered Methylprednisolone. I had to try something as I was doing terrible with tinnitus and also arthritis pain.
My mom has a chronic cough, and I can't take off my headphones even for a second. I don't remember what my ears look like anymore lol. Hate this
my family is making me go to an ent after ive already explained that they cant help me and that theres nothing they can do for this. ive already said that i risk getting worse but they still insist on making me go. whats worse is that it will only be 5 days after my follow-up appointment with my pcp. they want me to get social security but i dont think hyperacusis is officially recognized as a disability.
How do we sleep while our heads are burning?
This is just ridiculous.. sorry.. i've been really going through it lately. The belief that it can get better in time is my only hope. This is absolutely ridiculous.. pff.. i hope we can experience wellbeing, calm & stillness some day
Hyperacusis back to square 1. Also a new tone in a right ear. Out of nowhere. 40mg of prednisone didn't help. Welp. Time to habituate again
Also has anyone used the built in background sounds from iOS to sleep to? Listening to "night" def gives me some inhibition so when I wake up my t is quieter
Past my 1 year tinnitus birthday with no big changes to it. I'm still on Zolpidem and clonazepam but working with my doctor to get off them. Hope I can still sleep cold Turkey
Seems like I'm fine. Gotta be more careful next time, I seem to lose my balance quite easily...
