I’ve had the same thing since I was like 19!
My ENT told me it’s normal?! But I didn’t always remember it happening... either way it didn’t hurt my ears.. I got tinnitus from DJing clubs.
That’s fine but you don’t tell someone else they are going to kill themselves. If you want to do it to yourself that’s fine but you're gross if you imply someone else will... and this forum needs me obviously.
I just did my first DJ gig since tinnitus. It’s been 8 months of a break and I feel fine / the same... I took a dB meter to the gig. That dance floor was mostly 100-130 dB but I kept the DJ booth 85-100 dB while I was DJing... I had -16 dB earplugs in :)
I have a hearing test when I get home...
Here’s the reality. I can either have fun now and suffer later or skip everything I love and suffer now and probably later also.
I’d rather continue DJing / raving / playing airsoft / riding my motorcycle / shooting guns / wearing headphones... Than sit in my house and feel sorry for myself...
I’m totally having this rattling sound in my right ear when my phone rings or I listen to something loud or I ride my motorcycle :/ especially on the motorcycle ♂️
I also have the crackle. I've had the crackle when I swallow saliva for YEARS AND YEARS AND YEARS, even before I had the tinnitus and everytime I went to an ENT I was told it was normal?
But I definitely remember not having it or it wouldn't have bothered me so much...
Well eventually I got...
