      Magnesium and melatonin have saved my life.

        what's magnesium do for you? I was taking 500 mg magnesium glycinate for a month but I never feel like supplements are doing anything & then I give up

        weab00 Magnesium has helped me to calm down. When I would get anxious or my heart rate was up, I'd put a teaspoon of CALM in water and drink it 1-3 times a day. Helped me tremendously. It will make you a little sleepy.

        I hope this is true. Sick of playing the waiting game.

        I bet we will be remembering 2020 fondly and yearning to go back to it. (Maybe not in 2021, but certainly by 2030 or 2040.)

      Episode #9435 of my tinnitus being weird: It was so quiet last night that I could almost hear silence.

        Congrats. I had near silence about a month ago for maybe 20 minutes. No idea what caused it. Sounded like faint hiss

      4 months since my tinnitus spike - and I'm still wearing foam earplugs whenever I'm out. Wondering if this is doing more harm than good.

        " listening to things on my laptop in low-medium volume throughout the day. I still steer clear from blenders and vacuums for the mean time. "

        Sounds like a good plan

        "Point is, I took the advice and my ears eventually settled back after about a month or so, while not wearing earplugs every time I went out. "

        [QUOTE="Johan_L, post: 422356, member: 33823"]It can get extremely bad. I went to clubs and concerts for four years after inital onset of mild T and H, and I was fine. I got some increased T before going to bed, but that was all.

        Until one day, it wasn't.[/QUOTE]

        Makes sense, but I was not going to clubs or excessively loud events. And definitely do not plan to now. So I can’t say I relate to this person but its unfortunate that that happened to them. @Bill Bauer

      Tinnitus has been a lot softer this past week. The fleeting pure tone is gone. Hoping the reactivity starts to go away as well.

      Some good news! My tinnitus has been quieter then its ever been, its quieter then how it was even prior to the second acoustic trauma.

      Tinnitus is much lower today than it was yesterday, thank god. Its been 3 months since my second acoustic trauma. Just taking it day by day.

        Are you noticing more of these variations between high and low as time goes on?

        Forgot to answer this but its fluctuating a lot less these days and if/when it does its not as extreme as when I first suffered my setback. It wont be dramatically louder than usual. The first 1-2 months after my setback is when it fluctuated A LOT. I think my cortisol levels were also much higher at the time so that could've also been a factor. @tbuzz89

      Some days I tell myself that I've got this, other days feel absolutely exhausting, and like I still can't believe this is my life right now.

        I will definitely look into this though once my ears feel less fragile and I am mentally in a better more secure place :) May take some time but I don't just want to give up on music altogether, there needs to be some sort of compromise. @kingsfan

        For a long time I would ask myself why these things were happening to me. I think I'm a good person, I don't cause harm or like to badmouth anyone so I don't understand why I've had to suffer so much in life, and I'm only 22..I do believe that there is a God, or something that lies way above us in a physical and spiritual sense. @weab00

        I really do hope some kind of treatment pulls through soon, I don't know how much longer I can cope. I want to at least habituate and have some sense of normalcy back in my life. @weab00

      Looking back on how I could've done things differently just makes me want to cry. I wish I could've known better.

        @weab00 Basically that is how it was. No care in the world and we had no idea what kind of damage we were doing. I feel like the education system failed us in a way as well, no one ever tells you about tinnitus or hyperacusis.

        Before I thought the worst that could happen would be that you would just go deaf, but this only happened to veterans and people who suffered really severe noise traumas. Didn't think it was possible through ear plugs and concerts.
