SD7

They are still there and the bane of my existence. They have thoroughly destroyed my quality of life because they are over speech

It has been 10 months and it started from a high pitch noise? (Scrolled your profile)

@sophia1688 yea essentially I got pretty sick after my second phizer shot and thereafter was able to hear my modem and got reactive tinnitus. Then a high pitched pure tone from my phone for like 10 seconds destroyed my hearing

That’s the thing. There is no research!! There will be no cure or treatments in our lifetime just more sham therapy

You got yours from the vaccine right?

@Brian P Yes my original tinnitus I believe came from the vaccine. 1 month of ringing and then had a indirectly related acoustic shock while trying to make it stop. It's absurd but it happened.

I'm hopeful that some of the hearing loss drugs if they are successful can alleviate our issues

Ìt will get better, you'll get through this, it sucks but be patient and protect your ears.

Hugs to you @SD7

You are really strong, such a brave warrior

5 months I had a sudden 80% recovery. Patience and protect a little bit more..

Eventually you'll quit reporting bad news.. T is just something we learn to suffer with silently after awhile. T.Talk is a great place to commiserate. Sounds like you have great fam/friends.

Love the profile photo... where do this guy sit on a bench all day..?

@Exit Melancholy, by Albert Gyorgy. He's relaxing in Geneva without any auditory issues (no ears!)

Yes SD7, it is absolute hell. Sorry I’m late to comment but I’m going through the distortions and reactivity too.

Nah @AbeS, never had any effect on my T. Or my ability to perform, or anything else for that matter.

I'm not sure how convinced I am by the vocal minority who have linked tinnitus and sexual dysfunction with Finasteride.

Pretty sure there are an uncountable amount of men taking this stuff with zero issues.

Anyway, it's your hair, I guess it comes down to how much you're prepared to risk to keep it.

I would have rather died than lose mine.

I'm chalking it up to stress. Can't risk anymore sideeffects personally since they're in part the reason I'm in this hell

@SD7 all the doctors I went to ensured that this would come out, I'm 9 months old and it's getting worse.

Take care of your ears and a cure comes out

Pretty much the same here. My otologist even told me she believed I would get better. Absolute lol.

Well, I got diagnosed with hyperacusis, tinnitus and cochlear neuropathy; that doesn't really help in any way, unfortunately.

@Tau i keep thinking where we would be if we just isolated from the beginning. They all said it was impossible and I should live my life normally. I had such a mild case in the beginning

I took Prednisolone again because of a damn car wash. But only 15 mg. Tapering straight away. I can't take more because of stem cell harvesting.

@Tau i really really hope it works for you

You will get better, mark my words

See the interview with Prof. Dirk De Ridder he explains well what happened to him, it was his suffering that gave him the T, if he wasn't suffering we wouldn't have T.

@star-affinity i played a high pitch video when my ears were sensitive and I believe I’ve ruined my hearing

@Vassili thanks Vassili it does and I know for a fact your post inspires many people including myself. I check it once a week :)

I have all of this + Visual Snow and currently I got fluctuating vision :(

It is one hell of a ride, I know. I still read success stories time after time and try to stay away from negative threads.

I had a bit of TTTS right after my acoustic trauma, it went away in a couple of weeks. Hang in there!

Thanks @Tau the fluttering TTTS is ok actually but I have this weird vibrating broken speaker version. Tensor Tympani is supposed to dampen noise I believe it is not working correctly in my right ear and fear it’s coming to my left

Acoustic trauma from iphone speakers not max volume how is this actually happening to me

A month later a remote dropped and my left ear has same symptoms Distortions prominent on my right ear. My ear shakes and sounds like bad audio occasionally, music is flat and drums hiss a bit more. Similar story to @Jon R. ,@MarvinDeguzman ,@TheHonoredOne and @Tau

I'm mortified that I've done permanent damage. My right ear in particular feels incredibly fragile.

@SD7 i think the vaccine got
You too

Dude, just give me pure, simple, uncomplicated deafness.

I have a slight bit of hearing loss around 13khz. Nothing else. Why the hell can't I just be deaf at 13khz....why the chimes, the cicadas, the pain.....literally what is the reason

the least our ears could do is give us a few days off to enjoy ourselves :-//

Mine was 4-5 seconds.

@Vassili my trigger was from a YouTube video not max volume no headphones but it was so high pitched. It’s so absurd

Stay strong comrade !
