    Mild Tinnitus After 4th of July Party/Fireworks

    I’ve been very careful on this trip. Of course the ONE time I didn’t wear earplugs because I was in a quiet pool, the damn lifeguard blew the whistle in my ear. I’m so mad and my ear is ringing when I haven’t heard it all day before this. I hope I’m ok. Guess I need to wear them all the time...

    Mild Tinnitus After 4th of July Party/Fireworks

    Thanks. Honestly this is new to me and I don’t know much about it or what things I should and shouldn’t do. My mother-in-law told me she’s had it for years and she hasn’t altered her life and just turns the tv up loud when she hears it at night. I know I have a mild case and sympathize with...

    We are going to Disney World next week and my kids wanted to see the launch. I know I have to be careful which is why I bought ear plugs for the trip. I will skip the launch but do you think Disney is ok with earplugs?

    Mild Tinnitus After 4th of July Party/Fireworks

    Mild Tinnitus After 4th of July Party/Fireworks

    It seems to be worsening a little and now I notice it during the day. Not sure if it’s just me looking for it, or my anxiety is making it worse, or my two screaming toddlers.

    Mild Tinnitus After 4th of July Party/Fireworks

    Hello everyone, My tinnitus began about a month ago, the day after a July 4th party. I only hear it in a quiet room, or when I put my finger in my left ear or when I sleep on my left side. Seems to be mainly unilateral but I think I hear it my right ear sometimes when I stick my finger in it or...
