    Tinnitus in Your 20s

    I'm 23 and I just got tinnitus. My advice is relax and be smart. Avoid concerts and try to find a good ent. I cried a lot when I first got tinnitus. I haven't cried recently. I have hearing loss in my left ear. My doctor tells me it won't get worse. I believe him but I'm still scared all the...

    How Will I Ever Have a Social Life Again?

    I've had T and I still do most things. I don't really watch movies as much as I used to but I don't mind going out. As long as it isn't a club I'm not that worried

    Almost 5 Months. Some Days Are Better.

    I believe a cure will happen one day so I do think it will go away. I've had it for 3 months now and I'll assume I'll have it until a cure. But some days are better

    Nervous About Having a Drink Again!

    Hmm I drink still. In fact my T goes away when I'm drunk and comes back when I'm sober. It's weird. I was never that heavy of a drinker though

    Yeah! I need to start going to the gym more. Part of me thinks I'm using tinnitus as an excuse to avoid it

    15 and Ruined

    Don't give up! My father had tinnitus at a very young age, 12/13, and he ended up doing fine. Tinnitus isn't fun, hearing loss isn't fun, but it's about living life to the fullest despite the setbacks

    Ear Muffs, Musician Ear Plugs or Custom Fitted??

    My ent said wearing ear plugs for overly long or for things that don't need it may make your reaction to sounds weaken. So like if you wear ear plugs all the day your ear naturally adjusts. I've considered never wearing ear plugs but I'm still afraid of large theaters. Seeing a smaller film in a...

    Cleaning Earplugs?

    Every time I use ear plugs they get a little dirty with some wax. I've never re used ear plugs but I'm thinking of getting some -20dbs and just re using it for when I go to the movies or go to bars How do you clean them? Or are my ears just too waxy? If so how do you all clean your ears...

    A Friend Has Invited Me to a Bar for a Boxing Match

    Idk it's weird but I would rate it a 5 when I first got it but now it's anywhere between a 2-4. And after flying in a loud plane with no plugs it didn't spike, but I've been very safe. Some would say too safe but I wanna protect my ears for the long run. My family has a history of this. My...

    A Friend Has Invited Me to a Bar for a Boxing Match

    I used to do it with no fears. I don't let my T stopped me from doing most things. I still go to bars (though I try to avoid loud ones). I haven't gone to the movies in forever and maybe a fear with that is T, but I do almost everything exactly the same. I wouldn't dream of ever going to a...

    I Have This Fear of Losing All My Hearing

    I still have decent hearing in my left ear and great hearing in my right. I have tinnitus in my left ear but sometimes at night (especially when my sinuses act up) I fear I hear ringing in my right ear. Does anyone else fear this? How do I stop worrying? The good news is after about 6 weeks...

    AC/DC

    I know the singer for the black eye peas also has ear ringing. I wonder if a lot of musicians develope it because of loud concerts, music mixing, etc
