I like your avatar picture! Ryu is my favorite gaming character. I still have Ryu as my avatar on Steam. 😄 Yes, it can take a long time to improve. It took me three to four years to start feeling somewhat normal again. This latest setback has now taken about two and a half months to improve...

I still have tinnitus. It is a very high-pitched sound. It also reacts easily to noise at the moment, as I injured myself again two and a half months ago. The baseline level is higher than before. But I have had a few “silent” days. I call them silent days because I really have to focus to hear...

Update: It has now been two and a half months since I went to the nightclub with earplugs on. I visited an ENT last week, and he gave me a prescription for Betaserc (Betahistine). It feels like it has helped a bit. This week has been the best one so far. And this morning, I sang! I actually...

I still don't understand how few hours in a nightclub with earplugs, causes worse issues than being there without earplugs. Almost 3 months gone and still having issues...

Turn down the volume.

Always funny when you describe your symptoms to ENT, and they look you back like you are a crazy person. And this problem is all around the world it seems.

I am trying out Betaserc (Betahistine), I try anything at this point. Wrath of God. That should be new name for all ear and hearing related conditions.

Went to ENT today. As I expected, no help. I was insulted when he said "Your ears look so healthy, I would want them myself! You have perfect hearing at your age!" Well, that is good. But still. Then why there is pain inside my ear then? Or the feeling of fullness or why my ears go haywire...

Noise level with my tinnitus did decrease. I’d say that since 2023, I stopped paying attention to it entirely, and even in the bedroom, I really had to focus to hear it. My hyperacusis also improved. It was in 2024 when I noticed that fan noise, car brakes screeching, beeps, and high-frequency...

I developed my tinnitus and hyperacusis in 2019. I had a hearing test back then, and my results were good. Two months ago, I damaged my hearing again after going to a nightclub, even though I was wearing earplugs. But today, on July 3rd, I had another hearing test — and I was amazed. My hearing...

I had hearing test today and have good news! My hearing is basically the same than 6 years ago and it's actually even improved a bit on 8khz area! So that's good news!

Going to visit a doctor today. 2 months since the event, should've gone earlier but maybe if I get some help / medication for this.

To me, it's not the sound that's worst. It's the physical sensation. Aching ears, burning, headache, fullness, the feeling something is broken.

I would love to be a research subject.
