    15 Months of Tinnitus with No Improvement, Except for Occasional Good Days in a Row

    @Yu.3, thanks. I really appreciate you sharing your experience. What you wrote caught my attention because my tinnitus also started after using headphones, so I feel our situations are somewhat similar. Mine began the day after I listened to music at a very high volume, and it was extremely...

    15 Months of Tinnitus with No Improvement, Except for Occasional Good Days in a Row

    @Yu.3, my tinnitus started after listening to loud music at night. The next morning it appeared. Before that, I sometimes had very mild tinnitus, the kind many people get from time to time, but it wasn’t constant or bothersome. After that night, however, things changed. I’m asking because I...

    15 Months of Tinnitus with No Improvement, Except for Occasional Good Days in a Row

    Hey @Yu.3, I also have tinnitus from using earbuds. Was your tinnitus very severe in the beginning? For me, the first months were unbearable, to the point where I felt suicidal. It is still bad, but compared to those early days, I think it feels a little better now. How has it been for you...

    @DamagedJoe as I said before I don't like pretending that everything is gonna be great etc. I'm just sharing my own experience and hoping that it would help you understand.

    @dreamer16 it's still the same level, severe. It was impossible to cope in the beginning, still hard. I was planning to k*ll myself. I started to work again, kept myself as busy as possible. Shortly, I'm constantly running away from it 😂😂😂otherwise it becomes unbearable again.

    I don't give fake hopes and promises. If you can just read my previous posts and threads you can see that I've been through some terrible shit. I'm not saying it's gonna be easy but it can be better overall. As it happened to me. Also I was addicted to masking sounds. I couldn't even stand one...

    @SimonRK i don't think I had a problem with mental health tbh. It was only due to the inner ear bs. Since noone understands this disase and there's absolutely nothing we can do to cure it, I prefer to keep it to myself but yeah I'm trying to get my life back :)

    I know exactly how you feel man. I don't know what caused your tinnitus or when it started but as they say "time heals." My tinnitus didn't get better, but my life did. I'm here if you ever want to talk.

    I didn't get better at all in terms of tinnitus and ear related stuff but I'm kind of doing better in life compare to 10 months ago. At least I'm able to work. I'm hoping for the better.

    Desperate Cry for Help: Severe Tinnitus After Going to Bar with Loud Music

    What happens when you are exposed to loud noise for a long time? Why are you only okay for nine months? Has tinnitus limited your life? From the very first day my tinnitus began, I was at a suicidal level. Mine was extremely severe, and I also had terrible hyperacusis. I was constantly looking...
