especially the first tip about the research on likely T progression.

Just had a read, I'm so sorry you are going through this @Niamh, it must be so scary for you.It's so hard not to stress, I understand.

However it's still very early days for you, there is a huge possibility things will improve for you.

@Holly1987 I'm so scared

Oh @Niamh :( I really do get it, I was too. I do think your T will calm down.

Worst case scenario is that it stays but you will get used to it (I know that's not what you want to hear) I remember when people told me that I thought they were lying to make me feel better, but it's true.

I'm not scared anymore, just mildly pissed off. The terror is gone, your brain adapts.

Also, I know it feels impossible but do try and keep yourself as calm as possible. Stress makes it so much worse.

@Holly1987 I don't want it at 14. im too young. I want silence. the ear infection has gone but the ringing is still here. ive had the ringing for a week now

Give it time, it's still very very early days. There is a very good chance it will go away.

@Holly1987 the problem is that I'm getting depressed because of it

ive stopped eating and completely gone off my food

Yes I get that, I was also very depressed and couldn't eat. It's really so awful isn't it? Gosh I'm just remembering those early days and they were horrific.

I do remember I went on lots of walks to distract myself. Do you have any hobbies you enjoy?

Btw @Niamh please know I'm not trying to minimise this, I'm acutely aware that when you are in panic mode you really don't care about doing some f*cking fun hobby! But it does help x

how can I make the noise go away permanently since I still have a chance

@Holly1987 Hiya. Great news. The ringing wad getting worse today and I was stressin loads. I had no sleep at all. Then my ears were hurting because of my earings were causing my ear lobes to bleed and get infected. My dad said that the earings could have caused my ears to throb therefore causing my ears to ring. I took the earing out. Then they started to bleed a bit.

. Then I put on youtube Tinnitus sound relief therapy and I've notied that the ringing noise is starting to fade and get quieter. Is that temporary because of the sound relief therapy or is its actually causing my left ear to get better and make the ringing die down
