Did a 2-day photographing gig in a theater. Music was very loud. first day I only had earplugs on. But 2nd day, I had double protection! Earmuffs (Peltor 30db SNR) + earplugs! Not the ideal way to work, but it was the only way.

Still getting this weird nausea feeling after certain sounds. I just played old game trought CRT-TV and the volume was not even loud. But it's the high pitch whining that gets to me.

Got a free ticket to theater to watch Romeo&Juliet. Decided to take the risk. Earplugs on of course. Tomorrow I will know how it went. Right now I feel OK.

Please tell me, what kind of hearing test blasts your ears with 12 kHz at 90 dB? Was it done by professionals? Here, tests go only up to 8 kHz, and never anywhere near 90 dB. The volume is about the same as normal speech. Yes, it takes a long time, but if you can live almost normally again...

Well, it reached a point where I barely heard my tinnitus anymore, and my hyperacusis disappeared as well. But now my tinnitus has gotten worse again, because I went to a club with earplugs about four months ago. I was feeling so good that I thought I could handle it. I was wrong. Never again.

It took me about 4 years to feel “normal” again, and 6 years until I didn’t even think about it anymore. Then I messed up once by going into a club with earplugs, and I was almost back at the beginning. Just give it time. You’ll take steps forward and backward, but always remember the good...

School started today. We had an info event in the auditorium and clapping and cheering of people made my ears feel worse again.

Yes.

All these devices are a big fat hoax. Usually, any improvement happens naturally over time. Of course, if a person uses a device for three months, they might believe it is the device making the difference. It is time that makes the real change. Some medication might improve the condition...

We can only pray that someday Tinnitus and other ear related symptoms are not "treated" like in medieval times. It amazes me that only treatments they offer is therapy and anti-depressants. This is not depression, or mental issue. Do you heal broken bones with anti-depressants or therapy?

Getting there. Slowly, but I am starting to feel like my old self again. (Before the nightclub 3 months ago,not before the first accident 6 years ago) Still, my T gets worse when around sounds or I talk out loud. But I actually sing again in the mornings. Haven't done that in months.

I have also noticed that on rainy days, my tinnitus and my ears in general feel worse. It is really annoying. So it definitely seems to have something to do with air pressure. We can only hope there will be some major breakthroughs in the next five to ten years. Because I swear, the feeling...

They are all snake oil. Just live as healthily as you can. It does not cost you anything.
