Tinnitus Talk Support Forum

I know how you feel. I had a pretty bad setback in January and it took months to feel good again. I think a lot of it had to do with my mental health at the time.

The tightness is gone entirely right now. Nothing has triggered that feeling in the past couple weeks. Let's hope it continues that way!

How long did your symptoms last the first time before they went away?

I m very happy for you that the tightness is gone! I found that to be the most annoying feeling. I m almost 2 months in now… the first time i had symptoms for over a year and 2 years later I was totally symptom free… for 2,5 years .. until now.. its like i have a cramp, tight feeling in my ears… :-(

Well that's a fantastic sign that it went away completely for over 2 years! I don't know how loud the party was, but I'm sure you will get back to where you were in no time. I hope that you find improvement week by week.
I know it's hard, but try your best to stay positive. I've found that the tight feeling worsens a lot when I'm stressed, anxious, or depressed.

So the setback in january also took months for you to settle down ? I m afraid im starting over again from the beginning i will try to stay positive. I dont have tinnitus or hearing loss.. its just that injured tight feeling

Yeah someone blew a dog whistle right next to my left ear... that triggered it back in January. I started feeling a bit better around late April. But I was also going through a painful separation with my ex during those months, and I'm sure that contributed a lot to the severity of my symptoms -- Hence the "stay positive" mindset!

I'm really glad that you don't have tinnitus. The injured feeling is really not that much better to deal with, though. I don't think you're starting from the beginning. This is just another setback. You have been here before and you will get through this again, just like I have.
I'm sure you will heal quicker than the first time, too!

Thx for the answer! Yes you re right .. only 1,5 month in sorry for the seperation! You seem like a positive person! Let me know the update about your situation!

Thanks, It's all good! I'm sure something great is right around the corner. Please keep me updated on how you're doing, too!
