Mymlan

Great news! please remember to always protect your ears from now on in loud places. They can be reinjured more easily now. Enjoy being T free!

@jjflyman I would like to give a special thanks to you ❤️ Your support and help in my darkest days gave me so much hope than you can ever imagine!

Thats very kind words, I'm happy I could bring some hope! I know what those dark days are like, I've been there.

@Mymlan @Steph1710 Yeah, totally get why you would want to wait. If one of my symptoms abates, I'm scared to say anything for the same reason. But I'm really pleased for this positive turn you've both experienced, and long may it continue :)

Hey, @Mymlan.
So happy that you've improved!
I'm 3 months in and while my T has been fairly stable, it seems to have worsened slightly even though I protect my hearing religiously. Has your spiking lessened as you've improved?

@Stacken77 actually mine got worst the 3 first months. But now my tinnitus will spike for lesser reasons.

I haven’t really improved for quite a while now, and my noise seems to be stable. So I’m not sure that this will ever go. It did improve compared to how bad it was, but the multiple tone orcestra is still very much there.

Jag fick det från borrning.. det hände i 8 månader sedan..jag hanterar det lite bättre just nu än i början. Det har varit fruktansvärt tid i mitt liv.Jag var nästan självmords benägen. hur kan jag skicka privat meddelande till dig ?

Vad än jag gör kan ej svara på ditt meddelande. Jaf fattar inte hur detta funkar..

Jag tror du behöver kontakta admin på TT.

@CAgirl I’m so sorry this happened to you. I know exactly how you feel and I’ve been saying the exact same things to myself many times.

Noise traumas usually gets better, but the recovery is just very slow. My T is still very much there but it has reduced quite a bit. You are early in and chanses are still good for you to improve.

Thanks Mymlan. Do you have a noise trauma too? I would be asleep by now, but just as I was falling asleep a new lower tone started going in my left ear. That’s my problem ear. My usual one is hissing, this is much lower pitched and a definite ring.

I don’t know why this new tone began. At first it was fleeting, then it came back and hasn’t stopped in over 30 min. It’s somewhat maskable but loud. Ugh. I see you had something similar happen?

In fact, the same thing (a shock causing a new sound) has recently happened to me. I am telling myself to wait about 3 months before worrying that the new sound being here to stay.

I’m sorry that this happened to you. Let us hope that this is temporary for both of us.

I’m not sure if the tone was there all the time and that maybe this shock created a spike, or if it is a completely new tone.

@Bill Bauer that new tone vanished today. Let’s hope it stay gone.

I get that too! Pretty much every other symptom has died down substantially and I don't get any immediate discomfort around noise/distortion except this intermittent pain that comes and goes at random- hard to describe, it's sort of stabbing except it feels like warm liquid lol. What's yours like? And is it also random? Praying this will go away - it just worries me how there's nothing to provoke it...

Nope.

@serendipity1996 It’s some sort of dull pain in the eustachian tube/middle ear.

H took about 11 months to improve?

Yes around 11 months. I do want to be clear that H is not gone. It’s still there, but last summer I was homebound. Compared to that it is a major improvement.

Tinnitus is still annoying as hell, and it can also be quite loud at times. Mainly I have 2 tones left, and I can still hear some of the old tones, but they’re not there all the time. My 2 permanent tones I hear all the time though.

Happy to hear you have had improvements, even just a little bit is progress

Those pauses in healing can last months. The more it heals, the slower it heals. Give it another 1.5-2.5 years and you ought to get your life back.

I hope you’re right.

Still no improvement. It just stays :(

It didn’t last, but I’m happy for the noticable improvement.

So it had faded? How loud was it at first and how is it right Now?

It has faded yes. It does fluctuate like crazy and goes between a 2-5. First it was a 3-8. I’ve also noticed that my multiple tones are getting lower. I’m loosing some tones, but still I have T, multiple tones, sound distortion, H and earfullnes.
I hope I will continue to improve.

Try to ignore those daily/weekly fluctuations/retracements. What matters is the monthly trend and the global lows.

Thank you so much. It’s my negative emotions. It is fading! I’m just being scared.

Very happy to read this! I would like to have time to talk to you via PM soon!

Horrible, horrible spike right now :(

Spike gone. Tinnitus better again.

Det går segt. Känns som att jag typ bara blir värre. Men så vissa stunder tänker jag, ”nu vänder det”. Ljudöverkänsligheten är dock 50% bättre! Hur går det själv?

Hi Vukis. I have multiple sounds and some of them stoped being distorted or reactive. But now my low frequency T reacts, but I think that will subside aswell. Atleast I hope so when the T start to fade. Do you have this problem?

good luck
