some days are better, I dont spike as much!! thanks for asking.

I go to trivia night and I'm fine and just wear an ear plug in my bad ear. It's not as loud as normal nights and I still have fun!!

Thats the brand I have. I would take two a day first thing in the morning on an empty stomach.

definitely get some NAC asap. https://www.amazon.com/Swanson-N-Acetyl-Antioxidant-Anti-Aging-Supplement/dp/B07F92YLRW/ref=sr_1_12?crid=2CAEE2XOU08VA&keywords=nac+supplement&qid=1552498325&s=gateway&sprefix=NAC%2Caps%2C141&sr=8-12

he's never masked. he just forgets it's there and doesnt hear it anymore. he doesnt obsess over it. but wears earplugs with equipment, bars, concerts etc.

yep. my husband doesnt let him faze him, tunes it out and forgets about it. he does wear earplugs at bars or loud places though. focusing on it, dwelling on it, or obsessing about it only makes it worse. it's like when you are doing stuff and not focusing on it, you dont notice it. But when you...

also- my husband doesnt worry about his ear issues sooo nothing really bothers him, except a ruptured eardrum that he got this winter. he forgets about it and it goes away. and he had a BOMB go off right next to him TWICE!

def NAC and melatonin at night. Low stress. protecting when you think you might be around a loud noise.

when and if the situation gets better the T should get better. Nothing is necessarily permanent.

if I were him I would get a second opinion. My husband had an ear infection and burst his eardrum and hes better now. He had preexisting hearing damage from Iraq. He could have an issue with his eardrum.. or ETD. It is not necessarily permanent. drs dont know everything, esp without testing.

have you ever seen that gif on the internet with the spinning woman where if you look one way she spins one way and look another way and she spins that way? Or the audio file where you think one word and you hear it and think another word and hear that? I think it's like that. the human brain is...

I think in some cases it's brain plastcity for sure and in others ,your ear heals.

Mine is fading slowwwly. it's Been 5 months. I got mine from 1 gunshot in an enclosed space. I take really good care of my ears normally and have never had an acoustic trauma or issue before.

Mine is getting to that point too, although sometimes it spikes. How long have you had it? How long did it take to fade?

yes and it goes hand in hand with obsessive thinking and focusing on it, which makes it LOUDER and you more depressed and anxious.
