    My Somewhat Success Story: What Helped Keep My Tinnitus Away for 3 Years

    In this sense, you read all kinds of things, because there are people who claim that tinnitus caused by acoustic trauma can improve. And many people who say they've gotten better had acoustic trauma. I believe that, simply, regardless of the cause, tinnitus can either improve or not improve at...

    My Tinnitus Has Decreased Substantially: Is It Going Away Permanently?

    By 'many months', do you mean more than 6 months, like even 15, 18, or 24 months?

    Mild Tinnitus Got Worse After Sudden Firecracker Sound During a Twitch Stream

    Yeah, my left ear is probably a little bit worse now. I have some reactivity to certain frequencies and a sort of distortion of certain sounds. It's not severe, but it's there. Tinnitus depends. The first weeks were tragic. Last week was moderate, and now I've had two good days. I remain...

    Toddler Screamed Nearby → My Right Ear Feels Full & Slightly Distorted

    When an individual already has tinnitus, and it becomes louder after a noise trauma (such as a toddler's scream), does this new condition have a specific name? I ask because I have noticed that people usually refer to it as a "spike." However, the term "spike" seems a bit generic, in my opinion.

    Mild Tinnitus Got Worse After Sudden Firecracker Sound During a Twitch Stream

    Hi everyone, After seven years of mild tinnitus, I'm here again because, 40 days ago, my tinnitus became very loud due to noise trauma from earbuds (a firecracker sound lasting 3 seconds came out of nowhere during a Twitch stream).

    Depressed and Frustrated After "Toughing Out" a Situation with Loud Noise

    I'm concerned about whether my tinnitus, which has increased in volume and has a new high-pitched sound after a noise trauma, can return to its previous level. It seems strange to me because logically, I would expect a noise trauma to create a completely new tinnitus sound. Previously, my...

    Depressed and Frustrated After "Toughing Out" a Situation with Loud Noise

    I'm currently dealing with a situation where my tinnitus has increased in volume and is still loud 15 days after an acoustic trauma. I hope that it will return to baseline soon. I've read about people who have waited for 3-4 weeks or even months for improvement. In my case, it has been 2 weeks...
