The problem is that I will have to use headphones for my future job. I'm either going into music or media and will have to use them and have to use them in school when composing music.

Sorry, I don't have any social media. Regarding your second post, don't worry, I get fleeting tinnitus all the time. It just happens then goes away.

UK, you?

Nah, I can't hear it during the day, only when I'm asleep. I use ear plugs that somehow makes it quieter and I can sleep through that even though I am a light sleeper!

I know its hard but stop thinking about it as it makes it worse.

Hopefully it will recover. Mine's starting to so yours could easily as well. Mine also got worse like yours and I had it in both ears, then after a few days it got more quiet and started to improve. If it is permanent, you will get used to it over time and it won't be as bad but you must not...

It's defintley improving, but I still hear it when asleep. But I don't hear it during the day :)

I'm sorry to hear that, but it does take up to 6 weeks for the ear to heal. I don't hear it when I wake up, it's only like when I get to school and sit in lessons.

It can actually take up to 3 months for the ear to heal

It is an internal noise meaning your brain is creating the frequency when its not really their. So you would still hear a noise that is coming from your brain

Just to shed some light, I'm am in a similar situation to you, and my tinnitus is already starting to become more quiet and improve. Since you are only 14, your ears can heal from damage not just from an infection but from headphones. Their is a likely chance that your tinnitus could go away if...

I got my tinnitus from a common virus in school, (hopefully will be gone within a few weeks) and my headphones that I used to wear a lot triggered the tinnitus. As soon as I fished listening to them in bed late at night, i got a whooshing noise that developed into tinnitus. i would quit the...
