Thank you! I hope for continued progress. It fluctuates a lot. Audiologist that specializes in tinnitus patients thinks the fluctuations are the ears trying to heal. Makes sense and it definitely feels that way, but this healing process has been brutal. I really hope sharing my story and all the...
3 month update on my noise trauma.
Repeated audiogram, tympanometry, and an outer ear cell test. All normal. I about cried tears of joy when I took my audiogram and I could actually hear the beeps of the high frequencies this time. This shows my hearing and the tinnitus has improved. Things...
It does sound like a sensitivity thing to me. My ears are healing and extra sensitive...
Just my own theory.
Sometimes it does it, sometimes it doesn’t. I don’t have pain with loud noises or anything like that. It’s just crazy a loud noise can cause so much chaos in the ear and brain. My...
Hi everyone! Two months in to my acoustic shock.
It started with tinnitus. And the kind of tinnitus that would ride on top of certain sounds like the car engine, ac vents and such.
The noise has changed and faded. Noises that seemed distorted from the tinnitus are starting to sound more...
Posting from the USA. I remember when this all started I was desperate to find any sort of information. Everyone telling me to "stay away from forums". However, I feel like I have found a lot of positivity on this forum here and I want to help anyone out there possibly going through what I am...
Hi Jason. I just want to let you know I have followed your threads. Currently experiencing something similar especially with the reactive component. Your story is inspiring to keep me calm and stay patient with this
Audiologist tells me it will go away but could take several months. I don’t take meds, eat super healthy but still have worry. Do u ever think yours will go away or wonder why it didn’t?
I acquired it from a high pitch noise created from a vacuum. It has fluctuated quite a bit. I’m currently in a month and half. There were several times I thought it was almost gone. But I have this static noise/sensation and the ringing really only happens on top of certain noises… like car...
Give it time... this is what an audiologist who specializes in tinnitus told me. Could take up to 6 months, longer for some people. Let your ears rest. Eat healthy. I hope it starts to fade out soon. Try not to get overly anxious . I did the first month, but now I’m much more calm and letting...
It really is crazy how everyone is so different!
My tinnitus faded greatly in the beginning weeks. Several times I thought it was almost gone but it keeps lingering. The audiologist says the characteristics of mine are not uncommon. Some people call it “reactive”, and basically it is heard on...
Hi Patrick! Kind of in the same boat as you. However I did not do any steroid treatment. I’m in the US, and an audiologist I spoke with that specializes in tinnitus says these things take time. Could be weeks or months. I have noticed lots of fluctuations with mine. I’m trying to not read too...
Hi! You are the first person that talks about the sensation of static! I had this too. It has let off, however, it’s more of a noise now? It’s light and I notice it more when I sit down. It is weird.
How is yours now?
I also have tinnitus from a sudden loud noise exposure.
Hi! I do feel better overall when I get a good sleep. I honestly don’t know how to interpret the tinnitus. It has definitely faded since it first started, but it has changed from a whistle to like a ringing sound that seems to present itself on top of certain frequencies.I think I need to listen...
